Luxury dealerships across the DMV send their cars to us, and every customer gets that same standard — the family SUV, a brand-new EV, or something exotic. If anything isn't right, we'll redo it until it is.
Xpel is the industry leader in paint protection film, and the brand dealerships and exotic owners ask for by name. It's what goes on every paint protection install we do.
Ceramic film rejects infrared heat, so a lighter shade can cool the cabin more than a dark cheap film ever will.
Dyed film fades and lifts within a few summers. Ceramic holds its colour and stays flat for the life of the car.
Every piece of film is cut by computer to your year, make and model, so it fits edge to edge.
Four levels of film to match how you drive and what you want to spend. Call and we'll help you pick.
1-ply charcoal film
2-ply metal hybrid film
2-ply carbon film
2-ply IR nano ceramic film
All of it done here in Sterling.
VLT is how much light gets through the film and glass together. A higher number is a lighter tint. These are the limits for passenger cars.
| Front sides | Rear sides | Rear glass | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Virginia | 50% VLT | 35% VLT | 35% VLT |
| Maryland | 35% VLT | 35% VLT | 35% VLT |
| Washington DC | 70% VLT | 50% VLT | 50% VLT |
SUVs, vans and pickups get more latitude behind the driver: Maryland allows any darkness on the rear glass and rear sides of a multipurpose vehicle with dual side mirrors, and DC allows 35% there. All three allow non-reflective film on the windshield above the AS-1 line or the top five inches, whichever is less, and all three cap reflectivity. Limits are measured on the finished window, film plus factory glass together. Verify current limits with the relevant DMV before choosing a shade.

We hold a bay and tell you exactly how long we need the car.

We go over the finished work with you before you take the keys.
Most cars are a two-hour turnaround. Drop it off, run an errand, and it's ready. Larger vehicles and full-coverage film jobs take longer, and we'll tell you exactly how long when you call.
Our Premium, Supreme and Ultimate tint packages carry a lifetime warranty. We register it for you, so there's no paperwork on your end, and it's serviced at any Tint World location in the nation. Paint protection film is covered by its own manufacturer warranty — ask us for the terms on your install.
Yes. Removal is an additional charge, and we need to see the car in person to quote it. How the old film was installed and how long it's been on make a real difference to the labour, so a sight-unseen number would be a guess.
What you're seeing is factory privacy glass — the glass itself is darkened. It cuts visible light, but it does very little to block heat, and it lets through far more UV than quality film, which blocks up to 99%. Tinting over it is what actually keeps the back rows cooler and protects passengers and upholstery.
Virginia lets drivers with a qualifying medical condition run darker film, down to 35% on the side windows, through a DMV authorization. You submit form MED-20 with a statement from a licensed physician or optometrist. Front windshield tint is checked at the annual safety inspection, so have the paperwork sorted before yours comes due. Call us and we'll walk you through where you stand.
