Give your car more privacy and keep the heat out when the sun’s blazing
Getting your windows tinted isn’t just about making your car look better—it’s a smart upgrade that adds comfort, style, and a little extra privacy when you’re driving around Kaneohe or parking at the beach.
Our carbon window tint strikes the perfect balance between sleek aesthetics and practical benefits. It helps cut down on heat, blocks out harmful UV rays, and protects your interior from fading or cracking under the Hawaii sun. It’s also a great addition if you’ve got pets or little ones riding in the back.
At Windward Tinting, we bring professional window tinting right here to Kaneohe with premium-quality films and detail-focused service that’ll make your car look and feel like new.
When summer rolls through Kaneohe, things get hot fast, especially if your car’s been sitting out in the sun. Without tint, your seats turn into frying pans, and your dash takes a beating from UV rays.
That’s where a film like C2 Carbon really shines. Developed with advanced nano carbon technology, this film doesn’t just look good, it performs at a premium level without the premium price tag. Thanks to modern manufacturing techniques, it delivers superior solar control while giving your car that refined, finished appearance. Here’s why more drivers in Kaneohe are choosing carbon tint:
Cooler Cabin Temperatures: C2 Carbon film is available in multiple shades and delivers up to 77% IR rejection and 62% TSER, helping your cabin stay cooler no matter how long you’re parked in the sun.
Unmatched UV Protection: Every shade of C2 Carbon blocks 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting your dashboard, seats, and your skin.
Enhanced Privacy: Whether you’re parked at work or out running errands, carbon tint keeps your interior hidden from view.
Stylish Finish: The deep black tone of carbon tint gives your vehicle a polished, modern look without appearing too reflective or too dark.
Glass Protection: If your window breaks, the tint helps keep shattered glass together, making cleanups safer and easier.
A great tint job is all about precision. We don’t rush the process, every step matters, and we make sure each job looks great and lasts a long time. Here’s how we do it:
Old Film Removal (If Needed): Got old tint that’s turning purple or peeling? We’ll take care of it before applying the new film. Depending on how long it’s been on there, it might come off in 30 minutes—or it could take a couple of hours. Either way, we’ll get it done right.
Deep Cleaning: Before applying anything, we clean the windows thoroughly. Dust, grime, and leftover adhesive can mess with the final result, so we don’t cut corners here.
Custom Fit Cutting: We cut each piece of film to match your windows exactly. No guessing, no overlapping edges, just clean lines and a tight fit that looks factory-installed.
Precision Application: We apply the film using professional tools that make sure there’s no bubbling, creasing, or misalignment. The goal is a smooth, even look with long-lasting results.
Final Check: After the film is applied, we give everything one last inspection. If anything seems off, even a tiny speck of dust, we’ll redo it. That’s how we make sure the finish meets our standards and yours.
C2 Carbon is a next-generation window film engineered using the latest nano carbon manufacturing methods. The result? A film that not only looks rich and consistent but delivers high-level heat and UV rejection without distorting visibility or breaking your budget.
Shade Options for C2 Carbon Tint: We offer three different shades of C2 Carbon film to match your style and performance preferences:
5% VLT: This ultra-dark shade offers maximum privacy while blocking 99% of harmful UV rays, rejecting 77% of infrared heat, and providing 62% total solar energy rejection.

35% VLT: This lighter option still offers strong protection by blocking 99% of UV rays, rejecting 44% of infrared heat, and reducing total solar energy by 41%.
Whether you want full privacy or a subtle upgrade, there’s a C2 Carbon shade that’ll meet your goals while keeping your car cooler and better protected.
Different drivers want different things from their tint, so we offer a few high-quality options to match your style and needs.
Ultra Film (Apex Ultra): Our top-tier ceramic film. This is for folks who want maximum heat rejection, high-end looks, and serious performance.
Carbon Film: This one’s the all-rounder. It offers solid privacy, strong UV protection, and noticeable heat rejection without going too dark or too light.
Ceramic Film: The best for blocking heat and UV rays. It’s ideal for long drives, sunny parking lots, and anyone who wants the best in comfort and protection.
We’ve worked on just about every kind of ride on the island, from daily drivers to trucks and SUVs. No matter what you drive, we’ll treat it with care and deliver top-shelf results.
Cars: Compact cars, sedans, and coupes all look great with carbon tint. It keeps the cabin cooler and gives your vehicle a clean, stylish upgrade.
SUVs: Larger windows mean more exposure to heat. We make sure every panel is covered properly so you and your passengers stay cool and comfortable, even on long drives up the coast.
Trucks: From work trucks to weekend haulers, carbon tint adds both protection and a tougher edge to your truck’s look. It also helps reduce wear from all the sunlight and sea air Kaneohe gets.
Tint is an investment in your car, and a few simple habits can help it last for years without fading, bubbling, or peeling.
Hold Off on Cleaning: Give it about 3 to 5 days before you clean the inside of your windows after the film’s installed. This gives the adhesive time to set and prevents lifting.
Use the Right Supplies: Stick with ammonia-free cleaners and soft microfiber towels. Harsh products and paper towels can scratch the surface or damage the tint layer.
Watch the Windows: Avoid rolling down the windows for the first few days after tinting. If your car’s got auto windows, it’s a good idea to turn off the feature temporarily so they don’t roll down by accident.
Shade Is Your Friend: Whenever possible, park in the shade or in a garage. Direct sunlight and high temps can wear down even the best-quality film over time.
Stay on Top of Issues: If you notice anything weird, bubbling, fading, or peeling, let us know. We’ll check it out and fix it, usually under warranty.
How long until my tint’s fully cured?
The film will be dry to the touch the same day, but full curing can take up to a week. Warm, dry weather helps speed things up.
Can I pick how dark the tint is?
Absolutely. We’ll show you your options and help you pick the shade that works best for your needs while staying within Hawaii’s legal limits.
What if my car already has old tint?
We can remove it during your appointment. Peeling, fading, or bubbled tint doesn’t stop us from giving your car a clean, new look.
Is there really a difference between films?
Big time. Cheap dyed film fades fast and offers almost no heat protection. Our carbon and ceramic films are built to last and perform way better.
Do you offer warranties?
Yep, both the film and the installation are covered. If anything goes wrong, we’ve got your back.
