Detailing Tint advice
My EB m235i is currently in the middle of the Celtic sea, should be arriving 1st week of August.
Any suggestions on where to get the car detailed and/or window tint in the San Diego area? thanks... |

Why would you need it detailed?

This guy is amazing. Dropped off my car, he drove me to the office then picked me up when it was ready. Best tint work I ever had performed.

Just had my car done last week and it looks great. Not only is Alvin a cool guy, but he knows his stuff and does a heck of a good job. |

I have 30 on the sides and 28 on the rear window. Don't have pics at the moment, but will take some over the weekend and post. When are you getting your m235i? What interior did you get? |

Are the front side windows and back side windows the same tint? Were there any infrared and UV blocking options that aren't dark? I'm a little concerned about California tint laws, although I see many, many vehicles that break it. I am going to the east coast for the PCD. I'll drive it back from there. Every review of PCD is fantastic, and everyone says to do it. Since I don't expect to have this opportunity again soon, I thought I should. Thanks! JB |

I've read that SD Tint is good. I haven't heard about Mr. Tint. Ceramin seems like what I'd want for the protection. I want that more than any darkening effects. But I'm still trying to understand the different types. JB |

I've used this shop for the past 4 cars I've had, they do a great job.
The main advantage of Ceramic is the maximum heat suppression along with no interference with radio (I think). I had 15% done on the 2. |

I had ceramic all the way around on my car - 35% side+rear, 70% windshield. Recently had to replace the windshield and I can feel the facial skin cancer setting in.
Kidding... not trying to be insensitive, but just saying it makes a huge difference. The amount of heat rejection it provides is huge. I guess the only downside is on those rare, cold Socal mornings when the heat coming through the windshield would be welcome... |

So, if you're going with a ceramic, using 70% is fine. If you're not, I wouldn't put anything on the windshield. On the sides, it's always a toss up, but conservative amounts of tint should be fine. |

All,
Mr. Tint in Escondido is running a deal on Amazon local - $140 for up to five windows for a Comfort Series metal/dye tint. Ceramic is extra. This is 50% off. I'm strongly considering getting this based on the previous recommendation for this shop http://local.amazon.com/san-diego-no...nty/B00PV39ARU JB |

Are you from Otay Ranch? I might have seen your 2 when I visited my in-laws.
