Glass
Ceramic window tint
Ceramic film across the side and rear glass, and the front windshield too. Most shops will not touch the windshield. We do.

What a customer notices first
Texas sun turns a parked car into an oven, and by the time the AC catches up you have already been sweating for ten minutes. That is the problem ceramic film is actually solving. It is not about a darker cabin, it is about how much heat gets through the glass in the first place, and that includes the windshield, which is the piece of glass most shops leave alone entirely.
Michael Mangum's review put it plainly after Armin and his team tinted his car and did a chrome delete at the same time: it made his car look like a different ride. Tint changes the look of a car, but the reason people ask for it in the first place is almost always the heat.

How we work
Ceramic tint is one of the shop's three main lines, alongside colour change wraps and paint protection film, and it is frequently done alongside one of those two rather than on its own. A Range Rover that came through the shop got ceramic tint on the windows and the front windshield, a gloss black two tone wrap and full frontal PPF, all in the same visit. A Porsche went out wrapped gloss purple with a pink pearlescent finish and ceramic tint front to back, windshield included.
It works the same way on a colour change car and a stock one. The Tiffany blue Hellcat that left the shop had ceramic tint fitted alongside the colour change, painted calipers and smoked rear lights, and a Jaguar came through with a colour shifting full wrap, ceramic tint, a full chrome delete and smoked headlights and taillights. The tint is fitted panel by panel on the vehicle in front of us, whatever else is going on with that car at the same time.

Aftercare, and why it matters
Film that is fitted well should not need much thought afterward, which is a large part of why it is worth having someone who works on it every day handle the fitting. A Mercedes S63 that came through got a full colour change to dark matte grey, a full chrome delete and ceramic tint together, and that kind of combination job only holds up if the film underneath every layer was put on right the first time.
The shop is on Highway 46 in Boerne, easy enough to reach if you are coming from San Antonio, and it is open Monday to Friday from 10am to 6pm. Call (210) 999-9727 or stop by during the week to talk through what the car needs.
