FAQs
What is the legal window tint limit in California?

Reflective or mirrored tint is prohibited on all windows. At Reflections Auto Glass in Vista, every tint job is California legal call (760) 666-8581 to confirm the right tint level for your vehicle.
What is the difference between ceramic tint and regular window tint?
Ceramic window tint uses nano-ceramic particles that block significantly more heat and UV rays than regular dyed film, without affecting visibility or phone signal. Regular dyed tint darkens the glass but blocks relatively little infrared heat. Ceramic tint also resists fading and discoloration over time. For Vista and North County San Diego drivers who experience intense year-round sun, ceramic tint provides a noticeably cooler interior.
