Heat Shield Window Tinting tints windows and protects paint from a shop in Cornelius, North Carolina. The automotive side uses Autobahn Performance Window Films, with two tint choices: Black Ceramic at up to 53% infrared heat rejection and i3 Nano-Ceramic at 95%. Films are cut from computer patterns and carry a lifetime warranty. The shop also applies Incognito paint protection film in Critical Impact, Full Front, Track and Full Body packages, plus Stealth matte film, and offers Tesla tint and PPF. Ceramic coating covers paint, wheels and brake calipers and is sold as a longer-lasting alternative to wax. Paint correction comes as a single-step polish aiming for 70% defect removal with a one-day turnaround, or a two- to three-step correction aiming for 90% over two days. Residential and commercial tinting rounds out the work, with films blocking up to 99% of UV rays; home installs use Dawn dish soap rather than harsh chemicals. Commercial jobs can be scheduled after hours and carry a 15-year warranty. The shop has a waiting area and free WiFi.
