Questions, answered

Yes, within limits. For cars first used on or after 1 April 1985, the windscreen must let through at least 75% of light and the front side windows at least 70%, measured through the glass and any film together. There is no limit on the rear side windows or the rear windscreen, so they can be tinted as dark as you like.

The front side windows must let through at least 70% of light, measured through the glass and the film together, and the windscreen at least 75%. Factory glass already blocks some light, so the front windows have very little room for film. The rear side windows and rear screen have no limit.

As dark as you want. UK law sets no limit on rear side windows or the rear windscreen, so limo tint (5%) is legal there. The darker the film, the more privacy you get.

At Tinting Brothers it costs from £100 for a 3 door hatchback up to £170 for a large SUV. Saloons are £140 to £160 and estates £160. Send us your registration if you are not sure which body type applies.

You can usually wash the car the same day if your doors have window frames. For frameless doors, such as many coupes and convertibles, please wait at least one day.

It covers peeling and fading. It does not cover damage, such as scratches from sharp or hard objects, because the film sits on the inside of the glass.

A little. With OPX NR Elite Duo, 50% film rejects 29% of the sun's energy and 5% limo rejects 43%. Darker film also cuts more glare: 43% at 50% and 94% at 5%. Every shade blocks 99% of UV.
