Window tinting fans either fall into two camps: those who feel that tinting keeps the car's temperature lower, and those who feel it makes the car look cooler. The exceptions are those who need tinting for medical needs (more on that later).
No matter the reason for tinting your car, it's important to remain cognizant of the legal ramifications of tinting your automobile within your local jurisdiction.
Today, we will get into some of the basics, and some do's and dont's.
​
Tinting refers to any level of light-blocking, whether through the windows, windshield, or the rear. Factory-outfitted tinting is generally legal in every jurisdiction, but it's the practice of aftermarket tinting which tends to garner the attention of law enforcement. 
When it comes to determining where your tint stands with the law, it is advised that you start by consulting your state's statutes under the relevant sections. Depending on your state, tinting may refer to any kind of tint film that gets applied to the inside portion of your window, windshield sun visor strips, or any kind of sunscreen device attached to the glass using suction.
Your state will classify tinting on a spectrum, whereby a higher tint level corresponds with a higher percentage. Additionally, there will be further stipulations on what percentage tint is allowed on which pane of glass.

Is your tint breaking any laws?
Determining where on the tinting spectrum your tints fall may be difficult to ascertain. The safest option is to consult with your local tinting professional service. They will cut through all the technical jargon, and determine where you stand with the law. If your tints are illegal or they pose a safety hazard, the tinting professionals will assist with replacing the old tints with new ones that are in compliance with the law.

As a continuation to our discussion on why you should get your windows tinted, it's now time to discuss the different kinds of tinting film to consider when choosing our tints. This article will resonate with you, whether you are a tinting enthusiast, or you're a beginner considering tinting for the first time.
Although there is a wide variety of window tinting films that are utilized, we will focus solely on the most commonly used. It helps to get an idea of what materials are offered, and some pros and cons. This way you have a deeper knowledge of the tinting process before you head over to the shop. Let's examine the different tinting material types:

Infrared
Infrared tints prevent just as much heat and UV as the other materials on the market, while offering better visibility. This would be ideal for residents in states with strict laws when it comes to tinting. Infrared tints are also quite durable, so you don't have to worry about degradation- whether in the form of fading, chipping, etc.
Metallic
Metallic tints are highly resistant to heat and UV, but its provides the added advantage of give your car a shiny exterior. That being said, it does come at the expense of your phone calls being dropped. What happening is that the metallic film blocks cell signal, as well as GPS connection. Unless you can drive without these necessities, metallic tint may not be the right solution for your tinting needs.
Carbon
Carbon tints were designed to fix the problem posed by metallic tints. Because carbon tints contain no metal, cell signal and GPS will work unhindered. Carbon tints are also very durable, so you will not have to worry about degradation for a very long time.
Coating
Coating tints involve fully removing the window before a layer of tint material is sprayed on. Most tinting companies do not offer this due to this cumbersome process. The advantage here is its durability.
OEM
OEM tints are the kinds of built in tints that come equipped with your car. Although convenient, this kind of tinting limits you to one specific shade, and if you wanted more UV/heat blocking capability, you will have to upgrade and pay out of pocket.

Tinting your windows will save you from the headaches of having to apply a windshield cover every time you step out of your car.

Reduced Wear and Tear
Relying less on your car's AC system also means prolonging its lifespan. While we're on the topic, keep in mind that harmful UV rays will over time result in fading of your car's interiors, especially the carpeting and seats- whether they be leather or upholstery.

Enhanced Personal safety
If you ever keep valuable items in your parked car, you can rest easy knowing that your tinted windows will prevent a would-be thief from being tempted to break in and steal your valuables. Tinted windows also add safety in the unfortunate situation that you get into a collision which destroys your windows. While untinted windows shatter into thousands of tiny shards of glass, the tinted window's film holds all the pieces of glass in place, removing a potential safety hazard for you and your loved ones in the event you get into an accident.

The damaging effects of the sun's UV rays on eye and skin health are well documented. Tinting your windows will act as a sunscreen of sorts, as it blocks 99% of the UV rays. This helps protect against wrinkles, sunspots, and other common forms of sun-induced skin damage.

We are often filled with excitement when  we go off to get our first tint job, but subpar results may leave us with dissatisfaction, and perhaps even complete regret. Let's appreciate that window tinting is a complex task requiring skilled hands. A poor quality tint job negatively impacts your car's appearance, and even its resale value. Today we will discuss some common sense strategies which will help ensure that you  are receiving quality tint service for your automobile.

Find the Right Company
⦁ The first step in this process is to seek out a company known for quality and reliability. This can be gauged by their work site- are they a professional workshop or do they operate out of a gas station? Ideally, you are looking for a professional workshop that has lots of satisfied customers
⦁ Additionally, you can reach out to a few shops and enquire about their business. Start with asking how long they have been in business, what type of guarantee they offer, their compliance with local window tinting laws, as well as asking for previous customer references
⦁ The internet also provides a deeper look into their establishment. Do they have a professional looking website? How about positive reviews from satisfied customers? You may also consider checking the BBB to check for a passing grade

Plan a visit
Once you have conducted your preliminary online research for local tinting service, it would be wise to make an in-person visit to one or more of these establishments. The goal is to see whether or not you can see yourself as a customer. You will get a firsthand view of the quality in which they deliver tinting services, as well as how they perform customer service. Keep an eye on their workspaces- ensure that the work areas are clean, so that dirt isn't getting into the tint job, and that they are well lit.
If you are satisfied up to this point, the final step is to ask for pictures of their previously complete tint jobs. This will give you an idea of how your own automobile may look like. Here is a list of imperfections you DON'T want to see in the finished work:
⦁ Damaged weather stripping on windows
⦁ Tint that runs across to the outer edges of the window
⦁ Bubbles of any size, they only get worse
⦁ Visible inconsistencies along the back window near the defroster bars
⦁ Poor visibility
⦁ Glue on the dotted border around windows

Ask for samples
A professional tinting service will happy show you samples and point out the subtle differences between them. You will ideally be offered several choices, within your requested price range. If the shop does not show samples, or if samples seem unsatisfactory, this could be a warning sign. Do not hesitate considering going to another shop that will pass this important test.
Tinting your windows can either improve your car's look- or ruin it. It will all depend on which shop you use. To that end, make sure you use the guidelines laid out within this article to find professional local tinting service that will keep your car looking snazzy for a very long time.
