They have successfully worked their magic on multiple black vehicles of mine, from paint correction, to PPF, and ceramic coatings. They can take your vehicle and make it look better than new, while offering services to protect that new car look for years to come.

"Definitely recommend going to Mad Wraps! I’ve know them for quite some time and Brian and his team always took care of me. His priorities are making you satisfied and happy! They are kind and caring people, they won’t just trash your car and scratch it by accident… they have a passion for all cars and genuinely love what they do, so they will take care of your car and you can definitely trust them! I don’t trust anyone touching my car for wrapping needs besides them! Brian wrapped both of my cars flawlessly and the wraps hold up perfectly. Also before they give ur car back they make sure everything is perfect! Go to Mad Wraps, they will take care of you and your needs!"

"Sosaa from SosaaTintz provides fantastic services. I did a lot of research to wrap my Cybertruck and chose Sosaa because of the trust that he was able to build during our communication. He was super responsive and offered very competitive pricing. He even offered to come to our house to show us samples, which in the end wasn’t necessary. He did everything possible to meet my timeline and worked hard to get it done in time (2.5 days). The final quality of the wrap was excellent. Really good details in the corners, and the entire truck looks flawless. He also tinted my windows and applied ceramic coating to trims. I highly recommend him because of the great quality and first class customer service."

Window Tinting Laws in California

Front Windshield:Non-reflective tint above AS-1 line
Front Side Windows:Must allow 70% of light to pass through
Back Side Windows:Must allow 35% of light to pass through
Rear Window:Must allow 35% of light to pass through
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.

Please note that window tinting laws may change. Always verify current regulations with your automotive window tinting provider to ensure compliance.
