Car Window Tinting in Santa Monica

Kepler's automotive films are built for warm, bright driving conditions. The ceramic window tinting ranges, IR and IR+, use nano-ceramic technology to manage solar heat and glare while helping protect your skin and the cabin materials from ultraviolet exposure on long California days.

Quality automotive film is made to stay stable through years of sun exposure, with a durable scratch-resistant coating on the interior surface. How long any tint lasts also depends on the film chosen, the glass it is applied to and how the windows are cared for afterwards. Your installer can explain what to expect from the specific film and shade you select. See our window tinting page for more on the Kepler range.

Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it. For more information, see quick quote.

Cost depends on the film you choose, the number of windows and the size and shape of your vehicle's glass. Rather than a fixed figure, the clearest route is to describe your car and the result you want. Ask a local tinter whether they carry Kepler film or can get it. For more information, see pricing information.

Start with what you want the film to do. Visible light transmission describes how much light passes through the film and is separate from its solar heat performance, so a darker shade is not automatically the cooler one. Compare the exact film and shade side by side, then talk the choice through with your installer. View the shades, from light to dark, on the Kepler experience platform.

Window tinting is legal, but the permitted levels are set by state law and can be reviewed and updated over time. Find the current details on our window tint laws page. These rules exist to keep drivers' views clear, especially at night. Choosing a film and meeting the legal requirements are two separate steps, so confirm the shade for each window with your installer before work begins.

Removing old film is fiddly work, and it is usually best left to a professional. Done badly, removal can leave stubborn adhesive behind or damage the glass, defroster lines or rear-window fittings. If you are replacing an existing tint, ask your installer to quote for removal and the new film together.

Kepler films are built in multiple layers, each with a job to do. Much of the energy that heats a parked car arrives as infrared and ultraviolet energy you cannot see, so managing the invisible part of the spectrum matters as much as the shade you can see. That is the focus of the nano-ceramic IR and IR+ ranges: solar heat and UV control alongside clear vision through the glass.

Professionally installed window film does not usually affect a vehicle warranty, though policies vary between manufacturers and dealerships. If you want certainty before booking, check the terms with your dealer or manufacturer first, then talk to your installer about the film and shade you have in mind.

Leave the windows up while the film cures; your installer will tell you how long for the film they used. After that, clean with a soft cloth and a mild, ammonia-free cleaner, and avoid abrasive pads or scrapers near the edges. Gentle, regular cleaning keeps the film clear and looking its best.

Yes, Kepler films are used on Teslas, but glazing differs by model and year, including large roof panels and rear glass. Suitability and the right film for each pane depend on your specific car, so tell us the model and year in your enquiry and a Kepler dealer will advise on the options.
