## Product: Removable Ceramic Window Tint

### What It Is

TintRebel sells pre-cut nano-ceramic window tint film designed for specific vehicle year/make/model combinations. The film slides into the window channel and is secured by a thin adhesive strip along the top edge only. No adhesive touches the glass surface itself.

### Technology

- Nano-ceramic film (no metallic layer)
- Blocks 99% of harmful UV rays (UVA and UVB)
- Rejects up to 60% of solar heat
- Zero interference with GPS, cell phones, Bluetooth, radio, toll transponders, keyless entry, satellite radio
- Safe for rear window defroster lines — no adhesive contacts glass
- Does NOT use static cling — uses top-edge adhesive strip for secure hold

### Vehicle Coverage

- 17,000+ year/make/model combinations (1960–2026)
- All major brands: Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, RAM, GMC, Jeep, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc.
- Electric vehicles: Tesla (Model 3, Y, S, X, Cybertruck), Rivian, Lucid, BYD, Polestar, VinFast
- Computer-cut precision templates — no trimming needed

### How It Differs From Traditional Tint

| Feature | TintRebel | Traditional Shop Tint |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | ~1 min per window, DIY at home | 1–3 hours at professional shop |
| Method | Completely dry — no water, soap, or tools | Wet — soap solution, squeegee, heat gun |
| Removal | Peels off clean, zero residue | Scraping, chemicals, sticky residue |
| Damage Risk | None — no adhesive touches glass | Can damage defrosters and tint lines |
| Reusable | Yes — remove and reapply anytime | No — permanent, one-time application |
| UV Protection | 99% blocked | Varies (40–99%) |
| Heat Rejection | Up to 60% solar heat rejected | Depends on film quality |
| Legal | Remove for inspection, reapply after | Permanent — pay to strip and re-tint |
| Fit | Computer-cut for exact vehicle | Hand-cut by installer — varies |
| Cost | $89.99–$229.99, no labor cost | $200–$600+ including labor |
| Support | Email support, case-by-case | Installer-dependent |

### How It Differs From Static Cling Tint

Cheap static cling tints from Amazon/eBay fall off constantly because they rely only on static charge. TintRebel uses precision-cut nano-ceramic film with a top-edge adhesive strip for a secure, permanent-feeling hold that can still be removed when desired.

## Tint Shades

TintRebel carries exactly 3 shades: 5%, 20% and 35%. VLT = Visible Light Transmission. Lower percentage = darker tint.
We do NOT carry 10%, 15%, 25%, 30%, 50% or 70%.

### 5% VLT - IN STOCK
- Darkest shade we carry

- 95% of visible light blocked
- Popular for rear windows
- Legal for rear windows only in most states

### 20% VLT - IN STOCK
- Deep shade, balanced privacy and visibility
- Our best-selling shade
- Good middle ground: strong privacy while keeping visibility comfortable
- Legal in many states for all windows

### 35% VLT (Light) - IN STOCK
- Lightest shade we carry
- Subtle, factory-tint look
- Maximum visibility while still providing UV protection
- Great for states with strict tint laws or front door windows
- Legal on most windows in most states

### Important Notes About Shades

- All 3 shades provide the same 99% UV protection
- All 3 shades provide the same heat rejection
- All 3 shades cost the same price
- All 3 shades (5%, 20%, 35%) are in stock and shipping right now

## Installation Guide

### 4 Steps — Approximately 1 Minute Per Window

**Step 1 — INSERT:**
Roll your window down about 1 inch. Take the pre-cut film and slide the top edge into the gap between the glass and the rubber seal. Film is computer-cut to fit your specific year, make, and model — no trimming needed.

**Step 2 — ADJUST:**
Roll the window back up. The adhesive strip along the top edge locks the film firmly in place. Adjust until edges align perfectly with window frame. Precision fit means no bubbles and no shifting when rolling window up or down.

**Step 3 — PEEL:**
Remove the small alignment tabs that helped position the film. They peel off in seconds, leaving no residue. Film stays locked in place.

**Step 4 — PRESS:**
Run your finger along the edges to ensure a snug seal against the rubber molding. Done!

### Critical Installation Notes

- Installation is COMPLETELY DRY — no water, no soap, no squeegee, no heat gun
- No tools needed whatsoever
- No experience or skill required
- If you mess up, peel off and reposition — adhesive strip is reusable
- Takes about 1 minute per window

### Bubble Prevention

Bubbles are ALWAYS caused by moisture trapped between tint and glass, not product defects.

**Prevention:**
- Wipe both glass and tint with dry cloth before installation
- Install on a dry day or in a garage
- Do NOT wipe glass with wet cloth before installing
- Do NOT install right after rain or car wash
- Do NOT install with wet hands

**If Bubbles Appear:**
- Often disappear as sunlight dries the moisture
- If persistent: remove tint, wipe both surfaces completely dry, reinstall
- Fix takes seconds

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Is TintRebel legal in my state?
Tint laws vary by state and window position. The lighter shade (35%) is legal nearly everywhere. Darker shades (5%, 20%) are typically legal for rear windows only. Since TintRebel is removable, you can peel it off for inspections and reapply after. Check your state's specific VLT requirements.

### Will it damage my windows or defroster lines?
No. No adhesive touches the glass itself. The tint slides into the window channel and is secured by an adhesive strip at the top edge only. Glass, defroster lines, and antenna lines remain completely untouched. Remove anytime with zero residue.

### How long does the tint last?
With normal use, 3–5+ years. Nano-ceramic film won't fade, bubble, or turn purple like cheap dyed films. Since it's removable, you can take it off, clean it, and reapply if needed.

### Can I really install it myself?
Yes. Average install time is about 1 minute per window. Roll window down, slide tint into channel, press adhesive strip, roll window up. No heat gun, no soap water, no squeegee, no special tools.

### What if it doesn't fit my vehicle?
Every piece is computer-cut using precise templates for your exact year, make, and model — 17,000+ vehicles covered. Fitment guaranteed. If something doesn't fit, contact us for a replacement or full refund.

### Can I go through a car wash?
Hand wash recommended. Automatic car washes with high-pressure sprays can potentially dislodge the film. If it comes off, reinstall in 1 minute.

### Can I reuse the tint on another car?
Only if it's the same year, make, and model. Each piece is pre-cut to a specific vehicle template.

### Does it work on Tesla/EV vehicles?
Yes. Templates available for Tesla Model 3, Y, S, X, Cybertruck, plus Rivian, Lucid, BYD, Polestar, VinFast, and more.

### Does it work on sliding rear windows?
Yes. Tint adheres to glass surface, works perfectly on sliding rear windows and electric sliding glass.

### Do you offer windshield tint?
Custom windshield tint is available on select vehicles for $79.99–$89.99.

### Do you ship internationally?
Yes. Free shipping for US orders. International orders have additional costs calculated at checkout. Customs duties are customer's responsibility.
