Ever wonder what happens to a vehicle at the shop, after it gets dropped off for window tint and paint protection film installation? Watch our video to find out. It takes you to Jay’s Detail Studio in San Antonio, where two expert SunTek installers are working on a Tesla X. They’re tinting the windows with our CeramicIR film, and fully wrapping the finish with SunTek PPF Ultra Defense.
