Automotive Window Tinting is More Valuable Than You Thought

Detailing & Customization Expert • April 19, 2019

One of the most common add-ons when purchasing a new car that gets brought up during price negotiations is window tinting. Nearly everyone recognizes that they’ll experience less glare and more comfort if this step is taken. However, not all dealerships are set up to do this right, and you could get less-than-satisfactory results. If you either didn’t get it done or chose not to at that time, you should know that window tinting is more valuable than you thought, and taking it to a professional will be well worth the investment.

  • Health- Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer. While you’d never head to the beach without sunscreen, it is likely you don’t apply it before your commute to work, to run errands, or take a road trip. The exposure to UV rays in your vehicle is higher than you might think, but window tinting can reduce those rays by up to 99%, depending on the product chosen. In addition, a hot car isn’t something you want for your family and pets.
  • Safety- While the glass in vehicles today is crafted to hold together during a crash, there can still be some shattering upon impact. Window tinting is another guard against this to protect you and your family in the event of an accident.
  • Interior Protection- Those UV rays that are bad for you are also bad for the upholstery and other materials in your vehicle, so window tinting is a great way to protect the interior of your vehicle. By reducing the heat, materials that could warp, crack, or fade are also protected.
  • Privacy- Smash-and-grabs are common throughout the country– not just in the “bad” areas. A criminal won’t take the time or run the risk if they can’t see some valuables they want. Window tinting that gives you this level of privacy is important if you want to reduce the chance of your shopping trip ending with a police report.
