"Absolutely fantastic experience! This car wash exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly, professional, and attentive to every detail. My car went in looking like it had been through a mud storm and came out looking brand new! Every inch of the car was spotless, inside and out – they even got into the small, hard-to-reach areas most places overlook. The quality of service and attention to detail is unmatched. I can confidently say this is the best car wash in town. Highly recommend to anyone who wants their car to look perfect. Five stars all the way!"

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.
