Orlando Window Tint Specialists offers 3M’s Scotchgard Paint Protection packages that will help sustain your car’s looks long after you drive it off the lot.

This is a great solution for those looking to keep their paint job pristine, add an extra something to your classic car’s exterior, or protect your RVs, ATVs, and motorcycles from all their adventures.

3M’s Scotchgard Paint Protection Film comes with a 5 year warranty to protect you against bubbling, cracking, or yellowing. While the film has a UV coat to prevent yellowing of the film, it does allow elements of the sun’s light to go through, which means there will be an even fading of your car’s color on areas that are coated compared to areas that are not. The film has a top layer of clear paint that is similar to the finish on your car — which means you can wax and buff right over 3M Scotchgard Paint Protection Film! Other paint protection films can be damaged by waxing and buffing, so treating areas that aren’t coated becomes a difficult and tedious task.

In Central Florida, we all dread love bug season. Whether you wash your car more often to fight the creatures’ acidic remains or sacrifice your car’s gas mileage and looks to attach a large black car-bra, love bugs make us all cringe when we see them plastered to our front bumpers and hoods. Even if they’re skin-tight to begin with, car bras eventually lose part of their shape, allowing the wind to vibrate the bra during travel. Dirt and water can get trapped underneath the bra, potentially oxidizing your paint or allowing the built-up grit to cause harsh abrasions. Not only will you see damage underneath the bra, but independent studies have suggested that the aerodynamics of your car is altered just slightly enough that there may be lowering your gas mileage.

But it’s not just lovebug season and car bras that leaves your paint looking lackluster. Year round debris, dirt, and sun damage can prematurely damage your car’s exterior and leave you with a dull and pock-marked finish. Even simple daily use such as stepping in and out of your car, soft knicks from rings and jewelry, and the inevitable shopping cart collision can take the gusto out of your car’s appearance.

Whether you’re looking for full protection or specific spot-installation, 3M’s Scotchgard Paint Protection Film comes in a variety of packages to fit your needs. Some popular installation areas are:

• Door Handle Insets – For those who are worried about jewelry scuff marks around your door handles from daily use.
• Door Edges – For the occasions when you park a little too close to the gas pump or garage wall and want to avoid paint transfer.
• Step Plates – Shoes can grind dirt and debris into the step plate on the inside of your door jams.
• Hood – For road debris and sun damage.
• Mirrors – The back of your side-view mirrors collect bugs, debris, and the occasional knick from a shopping cart or a passerby’s belt buckle.
• Front Bumpers – Lovebugs and dirt debris pock-mark your bumpers first.
• Back Bumpers – Knicks and scrapes from shopping carts and daily use.

Packages can be customized to suit your needs, including different aftermarket looks. You can retain the glossy appearance of your car’s paint job with a natural finish, or opt for a matte finish to not only protect your car but customize its appearance and stand out from the crowd. We can can also make the car truly one-of-a-kind with words or logos in a matte finish on hoods and roofs, allowing your personality to shine through to your car. Ask us about customized Scotchgard Paint Protection designs to fit your vehicle’s look.

While there are many looks and options to choose from when it comes to Scotchgard Paint Protection Films, there are also options available for other products. Orlando Window Tint Specialists has opted to carry only 3M Scotchgard for all your paint protection needs. It was created by a company that is well-known for their innovative technologies, as well as a company that is known world over for their customer service and superior product quality.

3M’s Scotchgard line is trusted to protect furnishings in your home, office, and vehicle. For years they have been the go-to brand for car dealerships and professional carpet cleaners for one common reason — their products are backed by great customer service and a company that re-invests in itself to better their technology and continue to offer more and more advanced features.

You may find cheaper alternatives to 3M’s Scotchgard Paint Protection Film, but as with everything that you can find on a bargain, it may not come with the same warranty and brand reliability that can be trusted to protect your car for years to come. You can trust 3M’s Scotchgard and Orlando Window Tint Specialists as your go-to people for protection, durability, and customer service.

Orlando Window Tint Specialists was established in 2004, with its primary focus on automotive window tint. Since then, we have grown to include flat glass installations for our residential and commercial clients, sign and vinyl work, and recently we have begun offering paint protection packages and vehicle wraps for the ultimate vehicle customization.

We are able to offer these services to the Central Florida area because our dedicated and experienced staff work hard to uphold great standards of quality. We are always seeking new and talented individuals to help us grow our team!

We are currently hiring:

• Automotive Window Tinters
• Commercial/Residential Window Tinters
• Paint Protection Installers
• Vehicle Wrap Installers
• Sales Consultants (Inbound Leads)

As a family owned and operated business, we are looking for experienced applicants that have verifiable experience and reliable transportation. We are a drug-free company that takes considerable pride in our professional appearance and quality workmanship. At this time we are not accepting apprentices or those that need training.

We currently offer part-time and full-time positions. Interested applicants with one or more of the above set of skills should e-mail a resume with your work history, as well as references and the position you are applying for, to info@orlandowindowtint.com.

The Give Hope Foundation funds several programs with the goal of helping Central Florida children. The Give Hope Hero Program helps families pay the bills, or even offer a “wish” for the child to give them something to look forward to during or after treatments. The Give Hope Hero Program has helped out with household necessities — such as making a home wheelchair accessible so a mother could visit with her child undergoing cancer treatments — as well as pay rent and assist with utilities during stressful financial times.

Another program Give Hope is dedicated to is the Apple-A-Day Program. This was inspired by radio personality Jayde Donovan, who befriended a teenager with cancer and helped her connect with her friends and family as well as have an escape from treatments and hospitals by giving her an iPhone. Today, children are gifted with iPhones, iPads, and iPods to help them complete schoolwork while in the hospital, mellow out to music or games while undergoing treatments, or talk with their friends and family that may not always be able to visit.

The Give Hope Foundation also helps fund the Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital and Camp Boggy Creek, a year round camp that offers a retreat for children and their families to “forget they have what they have,” offering family bonding time and a taste of normalcy in lives that are often centered around living at the hospital.

In addition to these programs that reach out to the community and families, the Give Hope Foundation takes 10% of their annual donations and puts it away in their Give Hope Fund with the hope that one day they can make a large impact on childhood cancer in the community.

As part of the team dedicated to spreading the word and growing the cause, Orlando Window Tint Specialists is always looking for corporate or personal sponsorships donated directly to the Give Hope Foundation. Your tax-deductible donation can change the lives of children and make an unimaginable situation more bearable for the parents and siblings. Please ask us how you or your business can get involved, whether through donation or participation in many fundraising events hosted by the foundation.

While in the past a darker film may have meant a better heat rejection, today’s window film technology can offer cooler car interiors without blacking out your windows. The latest nano-technology window film from 3M is Crystalline, a film that offers superior optical clarity while blocking the heat and UV. We currently offer two shades, Crystalline 40 to give a hint of color to your windows, and Crystalline 70 for a clear brand-new-car look.

How is it possible for a clear window film to have so much protection? Crystalline derives its name from the crystalline oxide particles used in the manufacturing process. With 350 passes of ultra thin oxides, 3M’s Crystalline window film can provide a 99.99% UV rejection, 60% heat rejection, and 97% infrared rejection. 3M crystalline automotive window films are state of the art and are clearly built to provide a lifetime of protection.

Crystalline is also a great option for your windshield. Crystalline 70 is nearly clear — allowing you full visibility while still offering a 50% heat rejection. This clear automotive window film does not hinder your night driving or rainy day vision, but helps protect you and your passengers from harmful UV rays that can cause sunburn and skin cancer. If you love the clean timeless look of a car without dark window film, 3M’s Crystalline window film will provide the heat rejection you need from the Florida sun.

As the demand for our services grew, our staff expanded to include more certified installers who shared our work ethic and desire to provide quality films and service. This is when Orlando Window Tint Specialists really came into being, and we moved our main location to Casselberry, Florida, in order to include residential and commercial window films in our expertise. Today we operate out of both locations, and while you can still find attention to detail, great customer service, and quality warranty-backed window films at both, there are a couple of differences between our Orlando and Sanford branches.

Orlando branch:
Our Orlando branch is our main office in Casselberry, FL. We operate here during the week to provide a full line of automotive, commercial, and residential window film services. We have appointments available Monday through Friday for automotive installations, as well as the ability to schedule appointments for at-home or in-office consultations for flat glass window film. At this location, you will find our full selection of automotive window films, including our luxury lines that offer superior heat rejection with optical clarity. We have a comfortable waiting lounge that offers free wifi, television, complimentary snacks and drinks, and air conditioning while you wait for your vehicle. Your vehicle is treated to a similar experience, as we install window tint in a fully indoor bay, using only filtered water during the application process. Because we operate by appointment-only at this branch, our installers have time to concentrate fully on your car while you wait. Wait times are approximate, as our installers spend as much time as necessary to be sure each car is completed in the most professional and aesthetically perfect way possible. You can also drop your vehicle off while you work or run errands, or take advantage of our concierge services for the utmost experience in convenience and luxury.
     Orlando benefits:
- Waiting lounge with wifi
- Full line of automotive window films
- Enclosed installation bay

 
Sanford branch:
In Sanford, you can shop while you wait for your car! We take cars on a first-come, first-serve basis on Saturdays and Sundays at this location, opening at 10:00 a.m. each morning. While your car is tinted, you can shop at the nearby market or take your kids to Fun World for some family time. To keep things simple, we offer our two basic film levels at our Sanford location. Once you select your film, your car is put in our queue to be pulled into a tented bay for the installation process. Wait times are approximate, as our installers take the appropriate amount of time to ensure the most professional installation possible for each car.
     Sanford benefits:
- No appointment necessary
- Nearby shopping

Whether you need convenience, options, or a great customer experience, both locations are a good choice. If you’re not sure which location fits your situation, give us a call and let us know what you’re looking for and we can recommend the best location for your needs.

Drapes and blinds that turn your home into a dark cave and hide the outdoors from view aren’t the best solution when hiding from the sun’s heat and UV damage. Traditional window films can help save you money on energy costs while blocking the heat, but can also be dark and reflective. They often times can make the outside of your home less aesthetically pleasing and block the natural lighting that reminds you, “Relax! You’re in Florida!”

But clear residential films change all of that. By installing clear nano-technology window films on your home, you allow yourself the luxury of blocking 99.9% of the UV rays that cause your furnishings to fade while protecting your family and loved ones from skin damage. You can also block out up to 60% of the total solar energy that enters your home through your windows, making your home cooler and more energy efficient while allowing your guests to enjoy their visits in a more comfortable environment. Clear window film is a prestigious solution to cutting down on the glare and providing an atmosphere more conducive to conversing comfortably or watching television, while still retaining a connection with the outdoors.

If you’re in love with your view or need to keep your Home Owner’s Association building codes in mind while blocking out the heat, ask us about clear window films that can be your all-in-one solution. Clear window tint for your Avalon Park home will reduce the glare, heat, and visual sun damage while retaining that cheerful sight of your children playing in the sprinklers or neighbors walking their dog.

What most people may be surprised to learn is that there are two types of UV rays, and that not all labels on products such as sunscreen, lip balm, and even window film differentiate between these two rays. The two UV rays are UV-A and UV-B. The 99% of UV rays that are blocked by traditional window films are actually UV-A rays. These are the rays that cause your interiors to fade and warp, damaging wood floors and leather upholstery. But the UV rays that cause the most skin damage are UV-B rays, and that is where the “.9%” comes into play.

While there may not seem to be a drastic leap between 99% and 99.9%, the difference can ultimately be whether or not your skin is protected while driving in your car, working at the office, or sitting down to a meal at home. Rooms that you spend a lot of time in — bedrooms, living rooms, the kitchen — are especially important to protect from UV-B rays, as you and your guests typically don’t consider having to wear sunscreen indoors. The .9% may not seem like a number worth looking at, but when it comes to protecting your family, friends, and yourself, it’s a number to watch carefully when you’re selecting window film for your home, office, or vehicle.

Whether you’re looking for curb appeal, privacy, or the best heat rejection on the market, Orlando Window Tint Specialists offers a wide range of films to fit any commercial budget and need. We carry nearly clear films that allow your dining or lounge areas to stay bright and inviting while protecting your customers from 99.9% of UVA and UVB rays and up to 60% of the heat. If you need daytime privacy, there are many films that offer visibility from the interior but don’t allow outside eyes a glimpse at any of your machinery or products. When you schedule your consultation, let us know what your needs are and our specialists will tailor your consultation to suit your business.

Commercial window film goes beyond looks and heat rejection. Window film is a retro fit product that can be used on new and old buildings to help achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, a process overseen by a third party that will rate homes and buildings on how energy efficient they are based on a wide range of criteria. Reducing energy usage is a key to LEED certification. Window film reduces the solar energy that traditional untinted windows allow in, which can drop an un-air conditioned room by almost 15 degrees. This helps your A/C units run more efficiently with less stress, dropping dollars off your monthly electric bill and potentially lengthening the life of your unit.

With many industries headed down the path of green business, window film can cut your costs in the office, warehouse, and corporate centers. Being a green alternative in your industry can attract a wider customer base, as well as provide economic benefits over the long run. Your Return of Investment or ROI can be calculated by one of our window film consultants using information such as number of windows, sun exposure, and the type of film you select for your business.

Commercial window film warranties offer a product and labor guarantee for ten years. These warranties are backed by the manufacturer and cover various concerns that you as a business owner may have such as product failure, peeling, bubbling, and more. You can rest assured that your investment is covered and comes with a reputable name that will back the window film’s performance and aesthetics.

Whether you’re looking to alter the appearance of your business’ interior or exterior, reduce glare and heat to make your lounge and offices more comfortable for employees and customers, or invest in long term energy savings, we can help you find a film that can accomplish your goals. We service all of the Central Florida/Greater Orlando area and have completed many large scale commercial projects in the past for vendors such as the City of Orlando, American Idol, the YMCA, and various Central Florida law firms.
