WINDOW TINT

Window tint 101

It is a hot summer day, you are driving down 400 on your way to that family barbecue, your A/C is blasting and for some reason you can still feel that summer heat. You roll the windows down but the hot breeze hits you so you roll them back up. There seems to be no escaping that hot summer air and sun.

You are parked in the parking deck on your lunch break. You just had a nice filling lunch and want to catch a few z’s before heading back to work but you would like some privacy and do not want anyone to see you. You realize this might be impossible since you can see right through your car windows.

If any of these stories ring a bell - sounds like you need your windows tinted.

Whether it be for heat reduction, UV ray protection, privacy or all three getting your windows tinted is never a bad idea. As tinting your vehicle becomes more common, window tint manufacturers have found ways to change and improve their film. Long gone is the tint that fades purple and interferes with signals in your vehicle.

Defyne Cars is here to help you decide what type of film best fits your needs. We offer two types of film:

(1) XPEL Prime XR Plus, a nano-ceramic film that is considered one of the best on the market due to is quality, lifespan, and cost. This film is made of nano-ceramic technology that will reduce heat regardless of how light or dark you decide to make your windows. The film has a beautiful blue hue to it that does look black if you decide to tint your windows darker. This film offers 98% infrared heat rejection, blocks out 99% of cancer causing harmful UV rays, and will not interfere with your radio, cellular, or bluetooth signals.

(2) XPEL Prime CS, a dyed film that is perfect for privacy and the most color stable film on the market. This film is a black or charcoal color and never fades or turns purple. It reduces glare, blocks solar heat radiation, blocks over 99% of cancer causing harmful UV rays, and will not interfere with your radio, cellular, or Bluetooth signals.

PAINT PROTECTION FILM

Paint Protection film 101

If you just bought a new car, your car is fairly new or you just want to protect your investment then you might want to consider paint protection film (PPF). PPF acts as an invisible layer of armor on your vehicle to protect it against chips, scratches, and scuffs. We use the leading brand of paint protection film by XPEL.

Whether your vehicle has a gloss or flat finish does not matter as there is PPF made for either one. If you want to protect the interior of your vehicle there is PPF for this as well.

PPF Ultimate by Xpel is constructed from an elastomeric polyurethane that will self heal with light heat application (such as the sun), will not yellow over time, and is discoloration and stain resistant. It contains an edge seal technology that will prevent lifting and delamination to protact your vehicles surface and paint from contaminants. It is backed by a 10 year warranty.

At Defyne Cars, our techs are highly skilled and able to hand cut the film to fit your vehicle but to ensure accuracy and improve efficiency and turnover time we search our database for the exact template or kit based on your vehicle year, make, and model and send it through to our plotter which will then cut the kit out so that we can adhere the film to your vehicle without any room for error.

CERAMIC COATING

CERAMIC COATING 101

If you would like to protect the value of your investment then Ceramic Coating is a great way to do so as it will protect the exterior and interior of your vehicle from deteriorating for a lifetime causing the resale value to increase. After a ceramic coating application, your vehicle will have a mirror effect, glossiness, and color depth unlike no other making the finish look new for many years to come. Ceramic coating means less maintenance as your dirt, brake dust, and tar will not adhere to paint, wheels or glass. Ceramic coating will also protect your vehicle from scratches. As the coating cures it becomes 3 times harder than paint and much more resistant to scratches thanks to its 9H hardness rating. Any surface scratches that occur can easily be removed with light polishing.

The great thing about ceramic coating is that it can be applied over vinyl/wrap and will not crack or peel. It will protect your vehicle’s vinyl/wrap from spills, stains, grime/oil, and UV rays.

We use CeramicPro, a clear, multi-layerable, liquid nano-ceramic coating. After the cure process, it transforms to a permanent, durable and flexible glass shield. It is essentially an additional clear coat with glass like durability and cleaning properties.

The finish of your vehicle after a ceramic coating application will be shiny, smooth, slick or hydrophobic. The chances of contaminants from bonding to the surface are lowered dramatically and water will easily remove dirt by catching it and rolling it off the surface making it “self cleaning”.

Ceramic coating your vehicle will allow you to drive your investment with peace of mind knowing it will be protected no matter the environment you encounter.

WINDOW PROTECTION

Imagine driving your daily driver on the highway and a rock hits your windshield. What do you do?

Most would, freak out and then contemplate the cost of replacing the windshield, especially if your vehicle comes with driver safety and assistant features. Did you know that these sensors need to be recalibrated when replacing the windshield? This a time consuming and expensive process.

Now imagine driving your daily driver on the highway and a rock hits your windshield. BUT. You do not need to panic or think about the costs that come with replacing the windshield because you have window protection film installed. Everyone needs to experience this peace of mind.

The great thing about ExoShield is that it is applied on the outside of your vehicle’s glass which means that you are still able to install window tint on the inside and you can even add a layer of ceramic coating over or under the ExoShield for added protection.

After installing window protection film you can look forward to lower insurance premiums, higher resale value, and being more eco friendly due to the fact that is limits GHG emissions and reduces landfill waste.
