88% VLT MAX
Film on front side windows — clear, colorless UV film only
70% VLT MAX
Front side glass + film combined
California Vehicle Code § 26708. California is strict up front: no dark film on the front side windows — the only film allowed there is clear, colorless UV-blocking film, and the glass plus film together must still pass 70% of light. Behind the front seats there is no darkness limit: rear side windows and the rear windshield can go as dark as you like (the rear windshield needs outside mirrors on both sides). The windshield takes only a clear strip across the top. We install to legal limits and will walk you through your options before any film goes on.
Tint Care Questions
The things drivers ask most after fresh film goes on.
How dark can I legally tint in California?
California's rule is laid out in the tint law band above: the front side windows take clear, colorless UV film only — 88% VLT MAX for the film itself, 70% VLT MAX for the glass and film combined. Behind the front seats there is no darkness limit. We'll confirm the legal shade for your vehicle before any film goes on.
When can I roll my windows down after tinting?
Follow the aftercare guidance provided by the installer. Cure time can vary with the film and the weather, so the shop will give you the right timing for your installation.
Why does my new tint look hazy or bubbly?
A hazy look and small water pockets are a normal part of curing — the film is applied wet, and the moisture works its way out as it dries. It clears on its own over the curing period. Don't press on the bubbles; let them dry out.
How should I clean tinted windows?
Use a soft microfiber cloth and a tint-safe, ammonia-free cleaner — ammonia can break film down over time. Avoid abrasive tools, and ask the installer which products they recommend for your specific film.
Can you film my home or office too?
Yes — the shop installs window film on houses and businesses as well as vehicles. Home and office film helps with hot rooms, glare on screens, energy costs, and fading, while keeping the view. Send the quote form below with a few details about the project and we'll take it from there.
Do you do car audio too?
Yes — it's in the name. BP Stereo & Tint handles car audio electronics upgrades and new LED lighting alongside window tint, all under one roof in Baldwin Park.
