    Default Nice day and some ZAINO

    Toady was a nice day here in St Louis (rare as it's usually HOT and HUMID) so I took advantage of it and detailed our 2012 Crystal Red Volt. This is the second coat of ZAINO, too bad all I had to take photo's was my 4 year old 3.2 MP BB cell phone. CR in the sun with ZAINO is stunning.

    Oh and I just had the windows tinted with LLumar ceramic tint at the legal limit here in Illinois, it should help reduce the battery drain.











    One of these days I'll get a decent digital camera.

    Looking good! Someday I hope to spend some time getting my red one looking that sharp. Would you mind sharing where you got the tint done and the price? I see you're in Illinois as well. I'm in the Joliet area and looking for a reputable place to get it done the same way, legal all the way around (35%?) in ceramic.

    Complete Window Tint in Swansea - http://www.completewindowtinting.com/

    It was a bit pricy at $350 but he removes door panels and any trim to get the tint under everything. He also has a special application that goes over the dot's which covers them completely. It looks great right now crystal clear, no distortions etc but is still curing and will get better as it dries and hardens.

    This was the second Volt he's done, the other is a DW I see from time to time, it looks wicked.

    The price isn't scary but the drive would be! Google maps is showing ~250 miles away. Still, the tint looks great and I'll be looking to get mine done soon. Thanks for the info.

    I'm frugal, but that tint looks great, Tom. Ceramic tint... Will have to do some research.

    @Voltaic If you find anyplace local to Chicagoland area, please let me know.

    Thanks, Bruce

    Very nice! Is it legal to tint the windshield in Missouri? (it looks to me like your windshield was also tinted). In Maryland only a top band, not the whole windshield is legal.

    The windshield isn't tinted it just looks that way since the rest of the windows are tinted.
