Add more privacy to your car and reduce the heat in the interior during those summer days
Window tinting is an excellent way to improve your car’s appearance, increase privacy while you drive or park, and keep the interior cooler during those hot summer days in Kaneohe.
By blocking excess heat and harmful UV rays, a quality tint can make your drive more comfortable while also protecting your vehicle’s interior from fading and cracking. This is also very beneficial if you have pets or kids in the back seat while you drive around Kaneohe during those really hot days.
At Windward Tinting, we specialize in providing professional window tinting services using high-quality films that ensure durability and a flawless finish.
Hawaii summers can be brutal, and without proper protection, the inside of your car can feel like an oven. Window tint, specifically ceramic film, significantly reduces heat buildup inside your vehicle, keeping the cabin cooler and helping your air conditioning system work more efficiently. If you are tired of scorching seats and unbearable temperatures, installing high-quality window tint is a practical solution.
Here’s four reasons window tint is a must-have:
Reduces Heat: Keeps your car’s interior cooler and comfortable, even on the hottest days. Driving a car with no ceramic tint versus a car with ceramic tint is a night and day difference when it’s 100 degrees outside.
Enhances Privacy: This gives you more privacy while you’re driving on the roads or when you park your car for work or while running errands.
Improves Aesthetics: When you tint your windows, your car gets an “upgraded” sleek look.
Protects Against UV Rays: Tint helps prevent your dashboard, seats, and other interior materials from fading or cracking from constant heat exposure.
Strengthens Windows: Hopefully this never comes to pass, but in the event that your glass gets shattered, the layer of film holds the glass together which makes the clean up process easier.
A quality installation makes all the difference in the performance and longevity of your window tint. Our process ensures a seamless finish without air bubbles, peeling, or discoloration. Here is what you can expect:
Removing Old Tint (If Necessary): If your car already has window tint that is peeling or fading, we first remove it before applying the new film. The removal process varies depending on the age and condition of the previous tint. Sometimes it takes 20 minutes while other times can take two hours or more.
Thorough Glass Cleaning: Clean and debris-free windows are key to a smooth application. We remove any dirt, dust, or residue that could interfere with the film’s adhesion.
Cutting and Shrinking The Film: Each piece of film is cut to match the exact dimensions of your vehicle’s windows. This step ensures a perfect fit for a professional and polished look.
Precision Application: The film is carefully applied to your windows using professional-grade tools to ensure an even, bubble-free finish.
Final Inspection: After installation, we inspect every window to ensure a flawless result. If any imperfections are found, like debris in the film, we’ll take it off and reinstall a new film to ensure it meets our standards.
There’s different types of films to choose from based on your needs and preferences! We offer the following options:
Ultra Film: Apex Ultra is our flagship ceramic automotive window tint, offering unrivaled performance and style.
Carbon Film: This is the film that does a little bit of both. It’s going to give you privacy while also introducing some levels of heat rejection.
Ceramic Film: The best choice for blocking heat, reducing glare, and offering superior UV protection. This high-performance film helps maintain a cooler cabin, extends the life of your car’s interior, and gives you privacy.
We install premium window tint on all kinds of vehicles across Kaneohe, and every job gets the same care and attention to detail.
Car Window Tinting: Whether you’re driving a sedan, coupe, or hatchback, we’ll tint it cleanly and evenly. You’ll enjoy better privacy, cooler interiors, and a polished appearance every time you drive.
SUV Window Tinting: SUVs have more glass and larger cabin space, which means more heat. Our team ensures every panel gets full coverage so you and your passengers stay comfortable.
Truck Window Tinting: Trucks face extra wear and tear from daily use and Hawaii’s coastal climate. Our tint adds durability while giving your truck a sharper, more customized finish.
Want your tint to last as long as possible? A little maintenance goes a long way, and small habits can make a big difference in how your film looks years down the road.
Wait Before Cleaning: After installation, give your tint a few days to fully cure before touching the inside glass. This gives the adhesive time to properly bond with the window surface and helps avoid issues like bubbling or edge lift.
Use the Right Products: Stick with ammonia-free glass cleaners and soft microfiber towels to avoid damaging the film. Harsh chemicals or rough materials can leave streaks, scratches, or even weaken the tint’s protective layer.
Be Gentle With Windows: Avoid rolling down windows for at least 3–5 days after installation to let the film fully adhere. If your car has automatic windows, it’s a good idea to disable them or be cautious to prevent accidental movement.
Park in the Shade When Possible: UV rays and extreme heat can speed up aging in any type of window film. Whenever possible, parking in garages or under covered areas will help preserve the film’s clarity, durability, and performance.
Watch for Damage: If you notice bubbling, discoloration, or peeling down the line, don’t wait, let us take a look. We’ll assess the issue and make sure it’s addressed promptly, often under warranty, to keep your tint looking great.
We get a lot of great questions from customers looking to upgrade their vehicle. Here are some of the most common ones:
How long does the tint take to cure?
Your tint will be installed and ready to drive the same day, but full curing can take 2–7 days depending on the weather. During that time, avoid rolling down windows or cleaning the glass.
Can I choose how dark the tint is?
Absolutely. We’ll walk you through film options and show you different tint percentages so you can pick what fits your style and needs, while staying legal in Hawaii.
What if my car already has tint?
No problem. We can remove old, bubbling, or fading film during your appointment so your new tint goes on clean and smooth.
Is all tint the same?
Not even close. We offer carbon and ceramic films that last much longer and perform better than dyed film you’d find in a DIY kit or discount shop.
Do you offer any warranties?
Yes, we back both the film and the installation. You’ll get full product and labor coverage with every job.
