Window Tinting
Our window tinting service applies precision-cut films that reject 99% of UV rays while maintaining optical clarity. The Pentagon system ensures seamless integration with vehicle glass, offering heat reduction, glare control, and enhanced privacy. Each installation includes lifetime guarantee against peeling or discolouration.
Paint Protection Film
Paint protection film shields vehicles from stone chips and environmental damage using self-healing materials like Suntek Ultra and Xpel Ultimate. Computer-cut patterns ensure perfect coverage of vulnerable areas including bonnets, bumpers, and mirrors. Available with 5-12 year manufacturer warranties against yellowing or staining.
Security Film
Supaglass security film reinforces vehicle windows with 300-micron polyester laminate that resists smash-and-grab attacks. This Thatcham Q-listed solution maintains optical clarity while providing side-impact protection and safe escape features. Installed with lifetime guarantee against adhesive failure or delamination.
Ceramic Coating
Sonax ceramic coatings create hydrophobic surfaces that repel water and contaminants while resisting UV damage. The chemical bond lasts 2-4 years with proper maintenance, preserving paint gloss and enhancing resale value. Includes surface decontamination and paint correction for optimal adhesion.

Questions
What window tinting options do you offer?
We provide multiple tint shades including smoke, midnight, and limousine, all meeting UK legal requirements. Our Pentagon system ensures perfect optical clarity with no colour distortion.
How long does paint protection film last?
Premium films like Xpel Ultimate carry 10-year warranties, with actual performance often exceeding 12 years. Regular maintenance using pH-neutral products preserves film integrity.
Can security film be installed on all vehicles?
Supaglass works on most side windows but requires flat surfaces. We assess each vehicle individually and advise on suitability during the consultation process.
Do you offer ceramic coating guarantees?
Ceramic coatings last 2-4 years depending on maintenance. We provide care instructions and maintenance packages to maximise coating longevity and performance.
How should I care for treated surfaces?
Avoid automatic car washes for 30 days post-installation. Use pH-neutral cleaners and microfiber cloths. Specific maintenance products are available through our service centre.
Are your installations OEM-approved?
We hold official approval from Land Rover, BMW UK, Audi, and Volkswagen. Our precision methods meet factory standards for optical clarity and material compatibility.
