Carbon tint is a budget-friendly alternative to ceramic tint (not to be confused with basic dyed tint) that uses carbon particles to provide a moderate amount of heat rejection. For customers looking to simply darken the windows without concern for how much heat is rejected, this film is for you. This is the equivalent to our Ultrafit VC film. Ceramic tint utilizes nano-ceramic technology to provide superior heat rejection. Ceramic tint is known for its durability and longevity. It's color stable construction resists fading and discoloration over time, ensuring that your tinted windows maintain their aesthetic appeal. The advanced technology used in ceramic tint also minimizes the risk of bubbling or peeling, making it a reliable long-term investment. This would be equivalent to our Ultrafit VF film. For the ultimate heat rejection we recommend checking out our Ultrafit VS film.

After installation, there will be a significant amount of moisture bubbles while the film is curing. The bubbles can take anywhere from a few days up to a week to fully dry out. This is determined by the amount of sunlight that the film is exposed to after installation. DO NOT attempt to push the bubbles out or pop them as this will cause problems during the curing process. If any bubbles don't cure in 14 days from the time of installation, you can schedule a time to have the film replaced.

Tint percentage (VLT) measures how much visible light passes through the film, while quality refers to the film's material and performance. A 35% ceramic tint and a 35% carbon tint looks similar but perform differently — ceramic offers far better heat rejection and durability in Hawaii's climate.

No. Wait at least 3-5 days before rolling down your windows after tint installation. Hawaii's humid air slows curing slightly, so allowing proper drying time prevents peeling or lifting along the window edges.
