"Angel did a magnificent job in detailing our automobile. He was able to remove scuff marks caused by a backing up accident that would have cost a lot more at a collision repair shop. His price was very reasonable and the car looks great!!"

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.
