Window Tinting | Quality Colorado car window tinting

You can find our terms and conditions here.

The haziness is normal, because haziness occurs from moisture trapped between the glass and the film. We try to squeegee as much of the water out we can but there’s always some left behind. Do not try to poke or pierce the bubble, leave it in the sun and the heat will evaporate it away. This “drying” process can take 30-60 days to dry, depending on the film you choose.

No, in some cases we have to heat-shrink the film to fit the glass on the outside first, then the automobile window tinting film is installed on the inside of the window ensuring you get a perfect custom fitting tint for your car.

Cheap films turn purple. Improper care of the film will also turn it purple. Any ammonia based products used on the actual film itself will break down the layers of film causing it to fade and turn purple. As a result, Extreme Autoworks only uses high quality window films that have warranties for bubbling, peeling, fading and de-lamination.

Yes, because the film is on the inside you can wash your car right after you get the film installed. Be careful when washing the inside of the window until the “dry time” (30 days) has been met, as the film is still wet. Any significant pressure can move or cause the film to slide.

No, Because rolling down your windows can pull on the tint, wait 3-4 days in 70+ degree weather to roll down your windows. Since tint cures faster in warmer weather, wait four to five days to roll down your windows in cooler weather.

Window tinting can be a lengthy process, the overall time frame for a window tint job will depend on the size of the car but with traditional film the average time will be 2 hours to a full day. For our Huper Optiks window film line, we ask to keep the car for a full day. With the technology of Huper Optiks film line, install times are considerably increased. With the increased difficulty we will spend more time to get the window perfect, so your tint will look clean and clear the first time.

The amount of time needed for window tint to cure will vary depending on what type of film is used, as well as the temperatures the car is exposed to. With our standard window films, we have noticed that our curing periods will range from 2 weeks to 30 days. If the car is parked outside in the direct sun, curing times will be greatly reduced. When Huper Optiks window film is applied, the high amount of heat rejection will work against the curing process, which slows down the curing time and can take up to 3 months to fully cure.

Wait two weeks to clean the inside of the windows after tinting. When you are ready to clean the glass, use a “tint safe” or ammonia free solution. Do not use any windex, bleach, ammonia, newspapers, vinegar, or other harsh chemicals. Tint safe cleaners or soapy water are ideal for window tint cleaning.

Depending on the type of film that you purchase your warranty will vary as well as the duration the warranty is valid. All of our films warranties cover against peeling, bubbling, and fading for the term of the specific film you purchase. Please see an associate for warranty specifications for the film you are specifically inquiring about.

A color stable dye window film is a multi-ply window film, which uses dyes to get the charcoal look you see on all factory SUVs with smoked glass. The dye product will offer a small amount of heat rejection, but it is primarily designed for looks. These films cost less and offer a shorter warranty as they do have a tendency to faded break down over time.  For a film with longer life expectancy, higher heat reduction and UV qualities as us about our ceramic window films.

A semi-metalized window tint is designed for heat rejection and glare reduction. The film contains aluminum to get the heat rejection aspect to the tint. The amount of metal that is added is so small that it will not interfere with any radio reception or cause any type of cell phone disruption. Semi-metalized films will have a charcoal look to the windows, they will not look chrome or metallic in any way.

A fully metalized window film is an older stye tint that is starting to become less popular in the automotive industry. Fully metalized window tints will cause interference with cell phones and radios because of the amount of aluminum in the construction of the tint. A fully metalized window film will offer large amounts of heat rejection, but the downfall of the film is that the window will appear like a chrome mirror.

Ceramic film is the highest quality of window tint film, and also the most expensive. It contains neither metal, dye, nor carbon, but instead a kind of ceramic particle that is both nonconductive and nonmetallic.

1. Only the top 4 inches of the windshield may be tinted.
2. All tints must let in at least 27% of light.
3. Tints may not have a metallic or mirrored appearance, and may not be red in color.
4. Both side mirrors are required if the back window is tinted.
5. Manufacturer certification is not required.
6. Legal tint identification stickers are recommended, but not required.

Window tinting is generally easy to remove, but it depends on the window and the quality of the tint. If your tint is purple or bubbled, the removal time may double. As well as this, rear windows will generally take longer than side windows due to the attached heating elements. We recommend having a professional like Extreme Autoworks remove the tint for you if that is something you require.

The final layer of any window tint has a scratch-resistant coating that will prevent scratches from small items such as dust and dirt buildup. However, sharp objects such as car keys, seat belt latches, animals, etc. can scratch the tint so treat it with care.  Scratches are not an item that are covered by window film manufactures.

Different tints will look different on different cars. The standard look is a charcoal color with your choice of darkness, but we also offer metallic tints and tints in various colors to fit your desired appearance. We recommend coming in to the shop to review the options that will best fit you and your car.

Window tinting will offer an additional barrier between you and the glass. When tint fully cures, it bonds to the glass and strengthens the glass itself. If anything is thrown at the glass, the tint will hold the glass in place, preventing the glass from breaking. If the glass does shatter, the tint holds all of the broken pieces in place, preventing anything from falling and cutting you or any passengers you may have in the car.
