Benefits of Automotive Window Tinting

Professionally applied window tint guarantees several benefits a DIY job might not. From the outside, window tint will provide a sleek and sophisticated look, but the interior will benefit the most.

Protects Upholstery from Fading

Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause noticeable damage to your vehicle’s interior upholstery - cracking leather and faded fabric color are the most common problems. High-quality tint installed by professionals can reduce interior UV exposure and extend the quality life of exposed surfaces.

Blocks Heat & Protects You from UV Rays

A professional window tint job will reduce the level of sunlight entering your car. This will help keep your car cool when parked in the sun and while you’re driving. This protection will also reduce your skin’s exposure to ultraviolet rays, which can cause problems like sunburn, skin cancer, etc.

Shattered Glass Protection

Window tint film can also provide added protection from your window shattering. If a tinted window breaks, the film will help keep the glass panel in place and prevent shards of glass from breaking off. This protects you from potential lacerations and makes the clean-up job much easier.

Break-In & Theft Protection

Tinted windows are also more difficult to penetrate, which reduces the risk of theft for both the vehicle and your belongings inside.

Privacy & Security

One of the primary reasons vehicle owners have their windows tinted is to improve privacy and security. Darker shades of tint help you keep a lower profile while out on the road, and helps deter theft by making it more difficult to see any valuables inside your vehicle while parked.

Improved Appearance

Many vehicle owners will choose to have their windows tinted for the enhanced appearance alone, and we don’t blame them! Tinted windows are one of the most affordable ways to improve your vehicle’s look.

Whatever your reason is for wanting your vehicle’s windows tinted, we’ll help you find the ideal window tint package, then professionally install it to guarantee the desired results.

In Dec 2023 I had my 2024 GMC Denali HD Ultimate ceramic coated (and windows tinted) by Carisma. I was skeptical because I had previously bought my daughter a new Acura RDX for her birthday and had the Acura dealer 'ceramic coat' it. I couldn't tell a difference between that and a regular finish. Total waste of money. I took my new truck straight from the dealer to Carisma. I've now had my truck ceramic coated for 1 year (a REAL ceramic coat) and I can say I will never NOT have another vehicle ceramic coated at Carisma. It's awesome. Previous trucks I washed and waxed once a week year-round (I have a heated garage). The ceramic coating is far far superior to even a fresh (weekly) wax finish. When I get home now after driving in the rain or even salty slushy roads, I gently run a stream (not a spray) of water over the truck and let the water sheet down the sides. Everything glides right off even the water. Its actually a little hard to believe until you see it for yourself. My truck is clean literally every time I drive it with just a few minutes to sheet water off of it after every rainy or snowy drive. I still wash my truck almost every week but not having to wax saves me an hour every time. That's 50 hours a year saved (time is money) I also don't need a towel to dry the truck. I wash it, then sheet the water off with an open ended hose and then use a leaf blower to blow any remnant drops of water off the truck. With the ceramic coating water glides right off. Its THE best money I ever spent on a vehicle. Worth every penny. If you have a nice vehicle get a REAL ceramic coat from Carisma. You won't regret it.
