"Marvel did an incredible job on my tint. He educated me on the differences between the tint shades and glass type to help me decide what I wanted for my car. He also does ceramic coating as well! I liked how he gave updates on his work progress so that you can plan your day accordingly."

"I saw Protek Shine Studio’s ad on Instagram so I contacted them. Armando and his team were very friendly and easy to get along with. Armando explained all the steps very clearly and easy to understand. He let me see examples of his work so I felt very confident it would turn out exactly as he said. I picked up my Jeep yesterday and the detail of his work was perfect. I will definitely have all my future cars protected by him. Shiny shiny!"

Back side and rear windows can have any darkness level. Windshield tint is limited to the top 4 inches.
