We apply expert tint to all types of cars, from sedans to coupes. Whether it’s just the rear windows or full vehicle coverage, we’ll walk you through the best options. Every install is custom-fit for your car’s curves and glass shape.
Larger vehicles need a bit more care. We make sure your SUV gets full coverage with the right film to handle Hawaii’s heat while adding sleek, uniform style. From third-row glass to cargo windows, we tint every section for consistent performance.
Trucks take on a lot, sun, salt, gear, and daily driving. Our truck tinting service offers maximum protection with a clean, sharp finish that holds up over time. We also factor in cab size, window style, and work usage to match your needs perfectly.

I've had every car detailed from exterior to interior and even ceramic coated. Recently, I had my 2013 Ram 1500 detailed on the exterior, interior, and engine bay in preparation for selling it. The team did an outstanding job, making the truck look immaculate and increasing its resale value. Their attention to detail and professionalism is unmatched. I highly recommend Windward Auto Detailing and Tint for anyone looking for top-notch auto care. Thank you for always exceeding my expectations!!!

We’re not a jack-of-all-trades, we focus 100% on automotive tinting, and it shows. Every install is handled with care, precision, and pride.
Window tinting isn’t a side hustle here, it’s our full-time specialty. That means better prep, better installs, and better results.
We only use high-performance films that are built to last in Hawaii’s climate. That includes heat-blocking ceramic and signal-safe carbon tints.
No shortcuts, no bubbles, no rushed jobs. We prep every window thoroughly and apply your tint with exact edges, smooth finish, and clean lines.
Whether you want to stay strictly legal or prefer something a little darker, we’ll walk you through your options and help you make the right call.
We’re based right here in Kaneohe and take pride in serving the local community. When you call, you’re speaking directly with us—not a mainland call center.
Tinting might seem simple, but done wrong, it can ruin your glass or land you in trouble with local tint laws. Here are a few things we see all the time:
DIY Kits Gone Wrong: Peeling corners, massive air bubbles, and misaligned film? We see it all. Cheap tint kits can cause more harm than good and often need to be completely removed and redone. In many cases, the damage from poor DIY installs costs more to fix than getting it done professionally the first time.
Going Too Dark: Sure, limo tint looks cool, but it’s not always legal. We’ve seen drivers get pulled over or fail inspections because they didn’t know the legal limit. We help you get the look you want without risking tickets. A quick consultation can save you from unexpected fines or future tint removal.
Poor Film Quality: Not all window films are created equal. Cheap dyed films fade, bubble, or crack in the sun, especially in Hawaii’s climate. We only use professional-grade materials built for durability and clarity. High-quality tint makes a visible difference and holds up for years, not months.
Incomplete Coverage: Some tint shops skip over hard-to-reach areas like rear quarter windows or windshield visors. We don’t. Every install is thorough, consistent, and finished with care. Details like edge sealing and full coverage help your tint look better and last longer.
Finding a reliable window tint installer in Kaneohe means looking beyond price. Here’s how to make sure you’re picking the right team:
Ask About Film Options: Make sure the shop offers high-performance films like ceramic or carbon, not just entry-level dyed tint. The right film makes all the difference when it comes to performance, appearance, and longevity.
Review Past Work: Photos, reviews, and social posts should give you a good idea of their skill level. Clean cuts, smooth edges, and a consistent finish matter. A professional shop will proudly showcase their work and be transparent about results.
Check for Licensing and Compliance: A good installer will know local tint laws and help you stay within legal limits if needed. This not only keeps your vehicle street-legal but also protects you during inspections or insurance claims.
Confirm Warranty Coverage: Top-tier tint always comes with a warranty. We back our installations with both product and labor guarantees. If something ever goes wrong, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you’re fully covered.
How long does tint installation take?
Most full vehicle installs take around 2–3 hours. It depends on how many windows and the type of film selected. We’ll give you a more accurate timeframe once we see the vehicle and confirm your film choice.
Is ceramic tint really better?
Yes! Ceramic film offers better heat rejection, UV protection, and clarity. It also won’t fade over time like cheaper dyed films, making it a smart investment.
Will the tint interfere with my phone or GPS?
Not with our carbon or ceramic films. They’re designed to block heat and UV, not your signals. You’ll still get strong reception for calls, navigation, and streaming.
Do you remove old tint?
Absolutely. We’ll remove old or damaged film as part of your installation if needed. Proper removal helps ensure a clean surface for a flawless new application.
Is the tint street legal?
Yes, we’ll walk you through Hawaii’s tint laws and help you choose a film that fits both your style and state regulations. Staying compliant avoids tickets and inspection issues down the road.
