The shades on this job
- 5% tint (limo tint)
- The darkest shade most shops carry. Only about 5% of visible light gets through, so from outside the glass reads black and you cannot see in during the day.
- 15% tint (dark)
- Dark, but not blacked out. In daylight you can make out shapes inside if you look for them. From across a parking lot the glass still reads black.
- 35% tint (medium)
- Clearly tinted without being dark. You can see into the car in daylight, and seeing out at night is easy.
- 70% tint (nearly clear)
- About as light as film gets. The glass looks close to stock.
In Arizona the back side windows and rear glass can be any shade. Front side windows have to let more than 33% of light through.
Reading the notes
- Removal
- The old film and its adhesive come off before anything new goes on. Faded, bubbled, or peeling film cannot be tinted over.
- Sun strip
- Also called a visor strip or brow: a band of film across the top of the windshield that blocks the low sun a visor misses.
- Full windshield
- Film over the whole windshield, usually a light shade picked for heat rather than looks. Arizona only allows windshield tint above the AS-1 line, so ask before you copy this one.
- Pocket, quarter, and vent windows
- The small fixed windows beside the main door glass. Easy to skip, and the job looks unfinished when they are.
