Denver Car Window Tinting Services
Car Window Tinting Denver | Auto Tint Services
The world’s finest cars deserve care that is just as tasteful. From daily drivers to classics to hyper-exotics, Colorado Tinting is proud to provide superior protection for your vehicle, and for more than 22 years, we have been the primary source for cleaning, detailing, and window tinting in Denver.
Automotive Window Tinting
Although you can certainly have a car tint in Denver simply to make your vehicle look aesthetically pleasing, you’ll be keeping out the heat by doing so as well. You may not realize just how much window tinting in Denver can help since it is quite cold for much of the year, but whenever you want to keep the interior comfortably cooled, a well-applied tint will do wonders.
Another significant benefit of car window tinting in Denver is enhanced protection from UV rays. Skiers will attest that sunburns can happen even in the dead of winter, but thankfully, each of our tint films offers 99.9% UV protection.
Denver Auto Tint Percentages
Tint percentages refer to how much light the car’s tint lets through, with higher numbers being less tinted and lower numbers being more tinted. For example, if you choose a 30% tint, it would allow 30% of outside light to pass through.
Types of Tint Films
Colorado Tinting uses three kinds of film for our Denver auto tint services. Each comes with a lifetime warranty to protect against fading, peeling, bubbling, or turning purple, and they will not interfere with cell phones or other electronic signals.
Standard
Our standard film is a traditional style of tint that offers 12% heat rejection and 6% glare reduction.Ceramic
Stepping up to Ceramic provides 78% heat rejection and 27% glare reduction.Ceramic+
Our Ceramic+ Denver tint service delivers the most heat rejection at 96%, and like the standard ceramic film, it delivers 27% glare reduction.
Our Process
Anywhere you go for car window tinting in Denver should be upfront about how they do it; Colorado Tinting is no exception.
First, we get our film in rolls. From there, we either hand-cut the film to the outside of the car or, if your car has patterns we have access to, we make computer cuts, a process also known as plotting. We then place the film on the outside of each window, shrink it to fit, and follow up by cleaning the inside of the windows, peeling the liner from the film, and installing it.
The tinted film is applied to the inside part of the windows, and we use dish soap or baby shampoo to finish the installation, as they are harmless to car interiors. Lastly, we squeegee the window, and your Denver tint is complete.
Caring for Your Tint
To ensure you have long-lasting, quality results, follow these simple care instructions:
Keep the windows up for at least three to five days.
Do not touch any bubbles in the film; they will disappear within one to two weeks.
Wait two weeks before cleaning the inside of your windows, and use a microfiber cloth and an ammonia-free cleaner when you do. (You can wash the exterior at any time.)
If you still see bubbles after two weeks, contact us, and we’ll correct the issue. Also, keep in mind, with a car tint in Denver, that the temperature can affect your tint installation. You might need to have your windows rolled up for longer than five days, depending on how cold or hot it gets.
Xpel Paint Protection Film / Clearmask
We offer more than window tinting in Denver. Whether you call it Clearmask, Clear Bra, or paint protection film (PPF), the material is an excellent way to keep the exterior of your vehicle looking like new. The type of PPF we use is from Xpel, made of clear-coated polyurethane that adheres directly to car paint. It can be removed at any time without harming the finish, and it comes standard with a ten-year warranty.
The Benefits
A vehicle paint job is always affected by the elements. From bird droppings to rocks to bugs, there’s always something that can attack your car’s finish, but with PPF in place, you can fend each of them off. Furthermore, Colorado Tinting can apply PPF to any part of your vehicle that you prefer.
Xpel Film Material
As an Xpel-certified dealer, we offer several Xpel films, including the following:
Xpel Ultimate Plus
One of the top protection films you can buy: Includes an impressive high gloss finish and incredible impact protection.Xpel Stealth
If you own a satin or flat-finished car, Xpel Stealth is what you want. It preserves your vehicle’s appearance while also protecting its paint. Xpel’s films are also self-healing, so if you happen to get any scratches or swirls, you don’t need to worry, as they’ll go away with sunlight or a bit of direct heat.
Installation Process
First, we clean and clay bar the surface to ensure a clean installation. After drying, we use isopropyl alcohol and a soapy water solution to install the film. We then squeegee out any moisture to get a nice, tight wrap, even wrapping the edges for complete protection, and thanks to Xpel’s DAP software, we are able to perform super-precise film cutting.
Taking Care of Your PPF
You can keep your Xpel PPF looking good and providing protection for a decade with the proper care:
Keep your newly PPF-protected car out of direct sunlight for 24 hours.
Don’t wash the exterior for two weeks.
When washing, do not use a pressure washer near the film’s edges.
Keep pressure washing wands 36 inches or more away from the film.
Clean fresh stains as soon as you can.
Remove hard-to-eliminate stains with 99% isopropyl alcohol.
Use spray wax often.
Some additional points to remember are as follows:
Freshly installed PPF can have bubbles or moisture underneath, but these will go away.
The film is self-healing. After 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature, light scratches will disappear, and the process can be sped up with warm water.
Auto Detailing: Ceramic Coating
Paint correction is an art, and using a ceramic coating is an excellent way to protect the “finished piece.” Through multiple stages of paint correction, we can bring a perfect reflection to your paint and then seal it with a ceramic coating.
What Is Ceramic Coating?
Like PPF, ceramic coatings are designed to protect against the everyday debris your car’s paint may face. You’ll also find that it is easier to keep your vehicle clean, and it will look cleaner for longer as well.
Remember, however, that the process isn’t permanent and is instead more akin to a stronger and more durable wax. Colorado Tinting provides a four-year warranty for each of our ceramic coatings, a level of performance that is unheard of from regular car wax.
In addition to applying ceramic coatings, we can also coat the glass, the wheels, and even the brake calipers.
Vinyl Wraps
You can completely change the appearance of your vehicle without having to have it painted, all through the application of a vinyl wrap. Whether you want to have eye-catching graphics, a different color, or simply more protection for the car’s finish, vinyl wraps make for an excellent solution.
The Benefits
Custom graphics for vinyl wraps are only limited by your imagination, making them a perfect means of adding advertisements to fleet vehicles, for instance, as the wraps can always be removed or changed. They are also far faster and significantly cheaper to apply as opposed to an entirely new paint job.
Caring for Your Wrap
Vinyl wraps will look amazing so long as you get a quality install and follow these important instructions:
Don’t use a pressure washer near the edges of the wrap.
When pressure washing, keep the wand at least 36 inches away.
It’s best to ceramic coat or seal the wrap for maximum protection.
Clean it with a vinyl wrap cleaner.
Always remove insects and clean stains quickly.
Like our PPFs, our vinyl wraps are self-healing, meaning any light scratches will disappear after a few days of sunshine. Similarly, right after your wrap is applied, expect some bubbles. These are normal, and they’ll be gone quickly.
