Lifetime Transferable Manufacturer Warranty

The Strongest in the Industry

Every FormulaOne® Pinnacle®, Stratos®, and LLumar® CTX® installation is backed by a genuine nationwide lifetime warranty directly from the manufacturer — not just a shop promise:

Covers fading, peeling, bubbling, delamination, cracking, and color change for as long as you own the vehicle
Fully transferable to the next owner at no cost
No-fault "Select" coverage on Pinnacle® and Stratos® — if the film ever fails for any reason, it's replaced free of charge
Honored at thousands of LLumar/FormulaOne dealers across the country — drive anywhere in the U.S. and you're protected
Includes free replacement film and, at our shop, heavily discounted or complimentary re-installation labor if warranty work is ever needed

FormulaOne® and LLumar® ceramic films are designed and warranted to outlast your ownership — real protection, real value, real peace of mind.

Skin & Health Protection

Blocks virtually all harmful UVA/UVB rays (over 1,000 times more than untreated glass), endorsed by the Skin Cancer Foundation and recommended by dermatologists. Delivers medically-recognized shielding for melanoma survivors, lupus, porphyria, xeroderma pigmentosum, and anyone with extreme sun sensitivity—turning your vehicle into a true UV-safe zone.

Interior Fade/Cracking Protection

Blocks 99.9% of Harmful UV Rays

FormulaOne® virtually eliminates the sun's ultraviolet rays — the #1 cause of interior damage. This museum-grade UV rejection protects your dashboard, leather seats, steering wheel, carpets, and wood/plastic trim from:

Fading and chalking of colors
Cracking, drying, and splitting of leather and vinyl
Discoloration of fabrics and plastics
Warping or bubbling of dashboards and door panels
Premature aging that drops resale value

Independent testing shows interiors with FormulaOne® stay like-new up to 5–7 times longer than unprotected vehicles — even in harsh desert or coastal climates.

Superior Heat Rejection

Up to 64% Total Solar Energy Rejected (TSER) • Up to 99% Infrared (IR) Heat Rejection

Up to 64% Total Solar Energy Rejected (TSER)

The true measure of heat blocked — keeps the entire cabin dramatically cooler and reduces AC strain/fuel use.
Proven in independent lab tests — not just a "shade" number.
Lowers interior temperatures by up to 60°F compared to untinted glass.
Helps preserve battery life in EVs and hybrids by cutting AC runtime.

Up to 99% Infrared (IR) Rejection

Blocks the invisible "heat rays" that bake you even when the sun isn't shining directly in — delivers instant comfort the moment you sit down.
Eliminates the burning sensation on skin and seats.
Keeps the steering wheel, shifter, and seats cool to the touch.
Provides the "wow, it's actually cool in here" reaction every time you get in.

FormulaOne® Stratos combines both for the coolest interior possible — no other film even comes close.

Signal-Friendly Ceramic Technology

No Interference, Ever

LLumar CTX®, Pinnacle®, and Stratos® films use advanced non-metallized nano-ceramic particles instead of metal. That means:

Zero interference with GPS navigation and tracking apps
Crystal-clear AM/FM radio, satellite radio, and HD signals
Full-strength cell phone reception (4G/5G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi hotspot)
Radar detectors, TPMS sensors, and toll transponders work perfectly
Keyless entry, remote start, and push-button systems remain 100% reliable
No annoying static, dropped calls, or "No Signal" warnings common with cheap metalized or dyed films

Drive connected and protected – the way modern vehicles were designed to be driven.

Color-Stable for Life

No Purple, No Fade, No Bubbles

FormulaOne® Pinnacle® and Stratos®, along with LLumar® CTX®, are built with premium non-dyed nano-ceramic technology that guarantees a deep, true-black appearance for the lifetime of your vehicle:

Zero color shift – never turns purple, brown, or hazy like cheap dyed films that break down in the sun
No fading – stays rich, jet-black even after 10+ years of intense UV and heat exposure
No bubbling or peeling – advanced multi-layer construction and adhesives remain perfectly bonded, no delamination ever
Always looks factory-fresh – maintains that premium stealth appearance that boosts curb appeal and protects resale value

With FormulaOne® Pinnacle®, Stratos®, and LLumar® CTX®, the stunning color you see on day one is the exact color you'll still have a decade later – backed by a nationwide lifetime transferable warranty.

Shatter Resistance / Glass Retention

Added Safety, Theft Deterrent & Everyday Durability Benefits

Even though FormulaOne® is not a thick security film, its advanced construction delivers real-world advantages every day:

Holds shattered glass together in accidents, collisions, or smash attempts — reducing flying shards and helping maintain cabin integrity
Makes "smash-and-grab" thefts much harder and slower by keeping broken glass in the frame longer
Creates instant one-way privacy — thieves can't easily see your tools, bags, laptops, or valuables from outside
Discourages opportunistic break-ins by removing the quick visual "inventory" criminals rely on
Scratch-Resistant Hardcoat — every FormulaOne® film comes with a tough, factory-applied coating that resists scuffs, keeps the surface crystal-clear, and makes routine cleaning safe and simple

An affordable upgrade that adds real safety, security, and long-lasting good looks every time you drive or park.

Glass Coverage, Insurance

Most Companies Now Pay to Replace Your Glass & Tint All Around

In the last few years, nearly every major auto insurer (Geico, Farmers, State Farm, Progressive, Allstate, USAA, and more) has updated their comprehensive glass coverage to include replacement of glass & aftermarket window film. That means if your glass is cracked, chipped, or shattered and needs replacement, your insurance will typically pay for brand-new LLumar/FormulaOne film, on all replaced glass, at little or no cost to you.

Another reason investing in premium window film today literally pays for itself tomorrow. Always confirm exact coverage with your insurance provider.

Exclusive Dealer / Factory-Trained Installation

Don't Pay Twice for the Same Job

We fix failed "bargain" installs almost every week: bubbling, peeling, purple haze, scratched glass, and no warranty when the film fails. Customers end up paying a discount shop first, then paying us again to strip the film and do it right.

As an authorized LLumar SelectPro / FormulaOne dealer, we use only 100% genuine film installed by factory-trained technicians with full manufacturer backing—so you get it done right once, protected for life, and never become another "I wish I'd come here first" regret.

Easy Maintenance

Keeps Your Tint Looking Brand-New for Life

Simple care takes just minutes and ensures your FormulaOne film stays crystal-clear and flawless for decades.

Wait 3–5 days (longer in cold/humid weather) before rolling windows down
No interior cleaning for a full 30 days
Tiny water bubbles, cloudy haze, or "fingerprint" marks? 100% normal – trapped moisture/adhesive will evaporate and disappear on their own (never push or pick at them). If they persist please call us to review the install & make sure your tint job is up to industry standards for installation.
A few dust specks? Normal in every professional install – Older vehicles have more dust specs due to the amount of debris trapped into the gaskets & seals, this is unavoidable for any installer.
After 30 days: clean only with ammonia-free solution (a couple drops baby shampoo + water) and soft microfiber cloth works great.
Never use ammonia cleaners (Windex, 409, etc.), rough paper towels, brushes, or razor blades on the film
Exterior glass cleans exactly like normal. Your tint is on the inside of your vehicle.
Avoid high-pressure wands aimed at edges
