“Great place for window tinting, car audio, and radar detector installation. I initially went to get a radar detector installed and discovered that they are car audio installers that carry some of my favorite brands. The radar detector install was done very nicely and looks like it came this way from the factory. I subsequently have ordered a major car audio upgrade and look forward to getting that installed shortly. Very knowledgeable and experienced folks. Don't hesitate!”

XPEL is our lead PPF: XPEL Ultimate Plus is a self-healing, virtually invisible 8-mil urethane film that shields your paint from rock chips, road rash and scratches, backed by a 10-year limited warranty — and an XPEL Fusion Plus ceramic top coat adds gloss and easy maintenance.

XPEL Ultimate Plus carries a 10-year limited manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking, blistering and delaminating when professionally installed. With proper care it protects your paint for the life of that coverage — one reason we lead with XPEL as our PPF.
XPEL is our lead PPF brand and we're an XPEL Factory Trained installer. XPEL Ultimate Plus is a proven 8-mil, self-healing urethane film with a 10-year limited warranty, and it pairs with XPEL Fusion Plus ceramic coating. Factory-trained installation means your film is cut and applied to XPEL spec, which is what keeps the warranty valid.
Austin has a large and competitive detailing market with dozens of shops offering ceramic coating, ranging from mobile detailers to dedicated installation studios. Rather than counting shops, the better question is who prepares and applies the coating correctly — surface correction, controlled environment, and proper cure matter far more than the brand on the bottle. Sunshades Tint & Sound applies ceramic coating in-shop with the paint correction and prep that determines how the coating actually performs.
Central Texas conditions — intense UV, summer heat, and humidity swings — do put real stress on paint and coatings, which is exactly why proper application matters here. Ceramic coating cures best in a controlled shop environment; applying in high humidity or outdoors can affect the bond and finish. Once fully cured, a correctly installed ceramic coating is built to withstand Austin heat, humidity, and UV and to make washing easier, protecting the underlying paint or PPF for years.
