We recently had a Rivian R1T owner come to us with a vision: they wanted to go from factory black to something brighter, cleaner, they wanted white. The idea was to have the outside white but keep the gloss black frame on the inside the same, I had my doubts at first but I really liked the way...
The windshield protection is a clear film that goes on the outside that protects against rock chips and then we can tint with a nano ceramic film that would go on the inside of a vehicle. The lightest tint we have is 70% and that means 70% of the light is still coming through the window but the...
Let’s be honest—whenever we hear, “I need to talk to my partner first,” we know exactly what’s happening. The Rivian’s already in the driveway, the accessories are piling up, and now there’s a conversation about tint or PPF... that somehow turns into a full-blown debate.
But here’s the deal...
I would suggest getting the rest of the vehicle tinted first with the XR plus and seeing how that does. Because heat is still coming through the side windows, when it is all uniformed, it gives you the best heat rejection!
Are all your windows tinted or just some of them?
You could add another layer of tint but some issues that might come up is that the adhesive is meant to adhere to the window so it might be more prone to peeling up and having some defects. It also might fade and cancel out the warranty. I would...
The likely hood of your sunroof cracking due to tint is very small. There has been some Rivian roofs that have cracked for what seems like no apparent reason that did not even have tint. Odds are there was a flaw at manufacturing which makes the glass weaker and more susceptible to breaking with...
What kind of ceramic tint do you have on your windows? Some ceramic tints block a lower amount of IR then other ceramic tints. For instance XPELs XR Black tint only rejects 78% IR but their XR plus rejects 96% of the IR.
Warmer months are approaching and I for one could not be more excited! But that also means car ovens are back, and Rivians are no exception to that, in fact we often hear our Rivian clients complaining of how hot their Rivian seems to get in the summer.
Many can be mislead with the term...
Have you considered windshield protection film? It is a good way to prevent rock chips and damage to your windshield by providing an extra layer of protection so you do not have to pay those expensive costs to replace your windshield every time it happens!

What kind of detailing are you looking for? We don't do car washing unless you are also receiving a ceramic coating or PPF. But if you are looking for exterior and interior detailing I can ask some of our installers and they might have some recommendations!
Xpel said hopefully October is when they will release theirs. We have started looking at other options to so that we don't have to wait that long. Alternately if you find a windshield protection you like, you can also send me a link and then we can see if we can order and install it for you!
