How Our Window Tint Process Works
Step 1: Your Personalized Consultation
We begin with a one-on-one consultation to understand your goals, whether you are seeking a sleek, factory look or maximum heat rejection for a more comfortable drive. You will experience the real-world performance of our films at our interactive heat display and compare shade options directly on your vehicle to find the perfect match.
Step 2: Meticulous Vehicle Preparation
Our process begins with a careful assessment of the glass for any prior film or adhesive, followed by the protection of your vehicle’s sensitive interior surfaces. We then perform a thorough decontamination of the glass and edges, creating a pristine foundation for optimal film adhesion. This meticulous preparation is key to ensuring the cleanest possible installation and a result that meets the highest professional standards.
Step 3: Precision Digital Cutting
We use a state-of-the-art plotter to digitally cut your film from XPEL’s extensive pattern library, ensuring a precise fit for your vehicle's specific make and model. This computer-guided process provides exceptional accuracy and protects your glass and trim by eliminating any need for on-vehicle cutting. While technology ensures consistency, our expert technicians also possess the master skill to hand-cut film when a truly bespoke fit is required.
Step 4: Application & Final Inspection
Each film is skillfully applied and positioned, then meticulously squeegeed to anchor it in place while our technicians tuck every edge for a clean, uniform, gap-free finish. We then perform an initial quality check under bright lighting to ensure the film is perfectly aligned, ready for the curing process, and most importantly meets our highest professional standards.
Step 5: The Curing Process
It is normal to see a light haze or small water bubbles as moisture evaporates; these will settle on their own as the film dries. To ensure the film adheres properly, please avoid rolling down your windows or using the rear defroster for 2-5 days, depending on the season. The full curing process takes about 2-5 days in warm weather but can last up to two weeks in colder conditions.
Step 6: Long-Term Aftercare
Once cured, clean the film using only an ammonia-free glass cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth to prevent damage to the adhesive and tint. Avoid abrasive materials like paper towels or scouring pads, as these can leave fine scratches on the film's surface. Be cautious with hard objects like rings, keys, and seat belt buckles, and never use a razor blade on the tinted side of the glass.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical tint install take?
Most full vehicles take about 2 hours. Two front doors only take about 1 hour. We will confirm timing at check-in.
How do I choose the right shade and film?
We demo heat on our in-shop display and show shade cards next to your glass. Ceramic (XR or XR Plus) is best for comfort. Dyed (Color Stable) is great for style and value.
What should I expect after install?
Light haze or tiny bubbles can appear while moisture evaporates. That is normal. Typical cure time is 2 to 5 days in warm weather and up to 1 to 2 weeks in colder temps.
Will tint affect my GPS, Bluetooth, or key fob?
Our films are signal friendly. GPS, Bluetooth, cellular, and key fobs operate normally.
Do you remove old tint?
Yes. We can remove prior film and adhesive and prep the glass for a clean foundation before installing new film. Tint removal is an additional cost.
How do I care for tinted windows?
Wait until curing is complete before cleaning. Use ammonia-free glass cleaner and a soft microfiber. Avoid abrasive pads.
What about warranty and workmanship?
Films carry a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer. We stand behind our workmanship and finish with tight edges and a factory-style look. For pricing and options, request a fast quote.
What are the window tint laws in Massachusetts?
In Massachusetts, the front side windows and windshield must have a VLT (Visible Light Transmission) of 35% or more.
Is XPEL XR Plus ceramic tint worth the extra cost?
Yes. XPEL XR Plus provides up to 98% heat rejection, which translates to a significantly cooler cabin, less A/C usage, and maximum protection against glare and UV rays, making it the superior comfort choice for daily drivers.
