  • What's the difference between window tint, ceramic coating, detailing, and PPF?

    Window tinting in Sarasota reduces glare, blocks UV rays, and keeps vehicles cooler. Ceramic coating provides a durable, glossy layer that shields your car's paint from UV damage, oxidation, and contaminants. Auto detailing involves thorough cleaning and restoration of your vehicle's interior and exterior. Paint protection film (PPF) is a transparent, self-healing layer that guards against chips, scratches, and road debris. Many Sarasota drivers opt for a combination of these services for comprehensive protection and enhanced appearance.
  • Why should I get my car windows tinted in Sarasota, FL?

    Florida's intense sunlight makes window tinting in Sarasota a smart choice. Professional tinting blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays and significantly reduces interior heat. It helps maintain a cooler vehicle, prevents dashboard fading, and enhances privacy and style while adhering to Florida tint laws. For even greater heat rejection and improved clarity, consider upgrading to ceramic window film.
  • How long does a ceramic coating last in Florida's heat?

    A professionally applied ceramic coating in Sarasota typically lasts between 3 to 7 years, depending on the specific product and maintenance routine. High-quality nano-ceramic coatings offer excellent protection against salt air, bird droppings, acid rain, and UV oxidation, making them ideal for coastal climates like Sarasota and Venice.
  • Should I choose paint protection film (PPF) or ceramic coating?

    PPF and ceramic coatings offer distinct forms of protection. PPF, also known as clear bra, provides physical protection against scratches, rock chips, and bug damage. Ceramic coating offers chemical and UV resistance while making washing easier. For optimal results, many Sarasota car owners apply PPF to high-impact areas such as the hood, bumpers, and mirrors, then add a ceramic coating on top for enhanced gloss and water repellency.
  • How long does it take to tint my car windows?

    Most car window tinting jobs in Sarasota are completed within 2 to 4 hours, depending on the vehicle size and number of windows. We prioritize precision to ensure a flawless finish without bubbles, peeling, or uneven edges, guaranteeing a long-lasting, high-quality tint job.
  • Do you remove old window tint or coatings?

    We do offer professional removal of old tint film, adhesive, or worn-out coatings prior to installing new protection. This process ensures proper adhesion and a flawless finish for your new window film or ceramic coating application.
  • What brands of window film and ceramic coating do you use?

    We exclusively use premium, Florida-tested brands such as 3M, LLumar, XPEL, and Ceramic Pro. These products are specifically engineered to withstand Sarasota's UV exposure, humidity, and salt air, ensuring long-lasting durability and clarity.
  • Do you offer mobile detailing or tinting in Sarasota and nearby areas?

    We provide mobile detailing and ceramic coating services throughout Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, and Lakewood Ranch. For tint and PPF installations, we typically perform the work in our climate-controlled shop to ensure a clean, dust-free environment for optimal results.
  • How do I maintain my car after ceramic coating or PPF?

    After ceramic coating or PPF application, avoid washing your car for 5 to 7 days. Subsequently, use pH-neutral car wash soaps and soft microfiber towels for cleaning. We recommend avoiding automatic car washes with brushes and instead opting for touchless washes or our specialized maintenance detailing packages designed for ceramic-coated and PPF-protected vehicles.
  • Is window tint legal in Florida?

    Window tinting is legal in Florida, and all our installations comply with the state's legal limits. Front side windows must allow at least 28% of visible light, while rear side and back windows must allow at least 15%. We'll assist you in selecting a shade that matches your style while ensuring compliance with Florida regulations.
