Tint and the law. In Washington, car side windows have to let in at least 24% of light. We tell you what's legal for your car before we cut any film.

What owners say
“Six months in and my black paint still beads like the day I picked it up. Theo walked me around it under the lights.”
Dana K.Ceramic coat, 2022 sedanSample review “They talked me out of 5% and put 35% on instead. I can still see at night, and it looks better than I hoped.”
Marcus T.Window tint, 2019 coupeSample review “Full front film on a new truck. Highway rocks hit it every week and the paint underneath is perfect.”
Erin W.Full protection, 2024 pickupSample review
One bay in 2014. Still measured by hand.
Theo Marsh spent nine years in a dealership prep bay before opening Apex with one heated bay and a paint-depth gauge. Today there are three bays and a crew of four, and Theo still checks every coating under the lights. If your paint is too thin to correct, we'll tell you.
