Maine's XPEL Dealer of the Year- Lifetime warranty on window tint

What is ceramic window tint?
Ceramic window tint is window film made with nano-ceramic technology. At The Mad Tinter we install XPEL PRIME XR and PRIME XR PLUS, and as Maine's XPEL Dealer of the Year we use only the highest quality films. Our certified technicians serving Waterville, Augusta, Bangor, Ellsworth, and surrounding areas bring meticulous attention to detail to every installation.
Compared with a carbon film, ceramic tint delivers much higher infrared heat rejection and clearer glass. That keeps your vehicle cooler in the summer and reduces the strain on your air conditioning system, and like every XPEL PRIME film it blocks 99% of UV rays that can damage your skin and fade your interior.
Whether you drive a sports car, luxury sedan, truck, or SUV, we have a ceramic film and shade for your vehicle. Check out our project gallery to see examples of our work, or see all of our automotive window tinting options, including XPEL PRIME CS carbon film.
Ceramic tint is an automotive window tint install, and every automotive window tint installation we do comes with a lifetime warranty. For even more protection, pair your tint with ceramic coating or paint protection film. Contact us today for a free consultation and quote.

Brandon was great to work with, he was very clear with pricing and the timeline from the start and delivered exactly as promised. The tint on our 2025 F150 Lightning looks sharp and was completed right on schedule. Definitely a solid choice if you want the job done properly. I would easily recommend him and his shop to anyone.

I recently took my car here for a window tint installation, and the experience was great from start to finish. It is hard to find a shop that is this professional and welcoming, but the team made everything easy and were very accommodating with my schedule. The shop itself was spotless and well-kept, which really showed me they take pride in their work. They walked me through the benefits of ceramic window tint, specifically for UV protection and heat rejection, without making it feel like a high-pressure sales pitch. The actual tint job was performed flawlessly, the edges are perfect and the optical clarity is excellent. I have no complaints at all and would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone looking for high-quality automotive window tinting.

Have had two vehicles tinted by them so far. Flawless job both times! No corners cut and they got me in quick both times. Will continue bringing my vehicles here in the future!
Frequently asked questions
What is ceramic window tint?
Ceramic window tint is window film made with nano-ceramic technology. We install XPEL PRIME XR and PRIME XR PLUS, which give much higher infrared heat rejection and clearer glass than a carbon film. Both block 99% of UV rays, and PRIME XR PLUS has the highest infrared heat rejection and the best clarity of the XPEL films we install.
What is the difference between XPEL PRIME CS, XR and XR PLUS?
PRIME CS is a colour-stable carbon film with strong heat rejection and no purple fade. PRIME XR adds nano-ceramic technology for much higher infrared heat rejection and clearer glass. PRIME XR PLUS is the top tier, with the highest infrared heat rejection of the three and the best clarity. All three block 99% of UV rays.
Does ceramic window tint come with a warranty?
Yes. Every automotive window tint installation we do comes with a lifetime warranty, and XPEL PRIME films are backed by XPEL against bubbling, peeling, cracking and colour change. If anything ever goes wrong with the film, we make it right.
How long does ceramic window tinting take?
Most cars, trucks and SUVs are finished the same day, and many smaller jobs take a few hours. If you work, we offer drop-off options so you do not have to wait at the shop in Detroit.
How much does ceramic window tint cost in Central Maine?
It depends on the vehicle, how many windows you tint and which XPEL film tier you choose. We give free, itemized quotes by tier so you can see exactly what each option costs before you book. Call (207) 458-2226 or use the quote form on this page.
When can I roll the windows down after tinting?
Leave the windows up for three to five days while the film cures. A little haziness or a few small water pockets are normal in that time and clear on their own as the film dries.
Do you install ceramic tint for drivers from Waterville, Augusta, Bangor and Ellsworth?
Yes. Our shop is at 300 River Rd in Detroit, Maine, just off I-95 between Waterville and Bangor, and customers drive to us from across Central Maine and Downeast. Same-week appointments are often available.
