"I saw Protek Shine Studio’s ad on Instagram so I contacted them. Armando and his team were very friendly and easy to get along with. Armando explained all the steps very clearly and easy to understand. He let me see examples of his work so I felt very confident it would turn out exactly as he said. I picked up my Jeep yesterday and the detail of his work was perfect. I will definitely have all my future cars protected by him. Shiny shiny!"

California's strict car window tinting laws require front side windows to have at least 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission), keeping them relatively clear. Back side and rear windows can have any darkness level. Windshield tint is limited to the top 4 inches. California prohibits red, amber, and blue tinting, and reflectivity cannot exceed standard window levels. Dual side mirrors are required with tinted back windows. Professional window tinting services ensure compliance while providing heat rejection for California's sunny climate.
