"I am absolutely amazed by the comprehensive and almost surgical level auto detailing, professionalism of the staff, pricing and overall experience I had with Waxx It. They are honestly the best deal around and provide a tremendously valuable service. They made my '06 Honda Civic look BETTER than the day it rolled off the lot. Absolutely amazed, can't recommend them enough, I'll be back in 6 months!"

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.
