Walking into a window tinting shop can be confusing. You might hear terms like "dyed," "carbon," and "ceramic" and wonder which one is the best fit for your car. Here in Montrose, with our strong sun and fluctuating temperatures, choosing the right tint is about more than just a darker lookit’s about protection and comfort. At JC Total Car Care, we believe in providing you with honest facts and the best products on the market, which is why we proudly use GeoShield films for all our installations.
Understanding Your Options
Most window films fall into three main categories. While we've chosen to specialize in the superior Carbon and Ceramic films, it's important to understand the differences so you can make the right choice for your vehicle.
1. Standard Tint (Dyed Film)
This is the most basic and affordable option on the market. It’s made from a layer of polyester film with a dye infused into it. While it provides privacy and a dark appearance, it's not very effective at rejecting heat. More importantly, the dye can fade over time, often turning to a purplish hue, and the film may bubble or peel. For these reasons, and our commitment to offering a lifetime-lasting product, we do not offer this type of film.
2. Carbon Tint
A significant step up from a basic dyed film, carbon tint is made with carbon particles infused into the film.
- Pros: It offers a better look with a rich matte black finish that won't fade. Our GeoShield carbon film provides significantly better heat rejection than dyed films and is non-metallic, so it won’t interfere with your cell phone or GPS signals. It is a durable, high-performing option.
3. Our Premium Choice: Ceramic Tint
This is the gold standard of window tinting, and it's what we specialize in at JC Total Car Care. Our premium GeoShield ceramic film is made with microscopic, non-conductive ceramic particles.
- Pros: It provides the highest level of heat rejection, blocking up to 99% of harmful UV rays and rejecting a huge amount of solar heat without being overly dark. It's incredibly durable, scratch-resistant, and will never fade.
