			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Pleasant Details auto detailing department is making a few changes and adding a few more products lines to provide the best in automotive detailing in Charleston and Mt Pleasant. </strong></p>
<p><strong>CQuartz is the best for a new car or add to our 3 step Menzerna paint correction service for the ultimate exterior detail in town.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Pleasant details is a proud sponsor of the Sandlapper BMW club, Palmetto Pipes Porsche club, Coastal Corvette Club, Camaro Club, and other great clubs who are regular customers of ours. We are most known for our 3M clear bra and window tinting in Charleston.  Most people forget we offer high end detailing that is unmatched by any local car wash.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Call Pleasant Details today for more information about detailing your car. 843 568 0247</strong></p>
<p><strong>Located in Mt Pleasant at 875 Walt Miller St Mt Pleasant SC 29464</strong></p>
<p><strong>CQuartz by CarPro is a anti-static, weather-resistant nano coating that shines and protects your vehicle like nothing else! CQuartz works on the molecular level to transform the surface. Once treated with CQuartz, your vehicle will repel water and contaminants, and it will maintain a clear, reflective, hard-as-nails shine. One application can last two years!</strong></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re tired of frequent waxing, listen to this: CQuartz Ceramic Quartz Paint Protection creates an ultra durable surface that minimizes paint maintenance for up to two years. A CQuartz-treated vehicle stay cleaner longer, require less frequent polishing, and require no additional paint protection!</p>
<p><img src="http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/autogeek/cquartz-diagram.jpg" alt="CQuartz fills in minor swirls." width="409" height="124" align="right" />CQuartz provides:</p>
<p><strong>Ultra hard coating.</strong> CQuartz contains ceramic nano particles, which create an extremely hard finish that is scratch-resistant and durable. The average thickness of Cquartz layer is between 0.7 µm ~1.5 µm.</p>
<p><strong>Weather-resistance. </strong>CQuartz provides durable protection against rain, sun, salt, and anything else Mother Nature throws at it. The anti-corrosive coating holds up in all weather conditions.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>High gloss shine.</strong> CQuartz contains nano fiber glass, resulting in a deep, reflective shine.</p>
<p><strong>Water and oil proof finish. </strong>CQuartz provides incomparably strong water and oil repellency. This hydrophobic effect prevents water spots and oily stains from attaching to the paintwork.</p>
<p><strong>Smooth, dirt repellent surface.</strong> CQuartz&#8217;s nano particles fill in tiny swirls and imperfections in the paint to make it perfectly smooth. Therefore, dirt and dirty water cannot settle into any crevices. The finish is also resistant to bugs, UV rays, acids, and salts. Plus, the slick surface is anti-static and washes off easily.</p>
<p><strong>Anti Calcium Effect.</strong> CQuartz prevents mineral deposits from bonding to the vehicle&#8217;s surface so water spots can be wiped off.</p>
<p><strong>Detergent-resistant protection.</strong> CQuartz cannot be removed by water, alkaline or other detergents, or by pressure washers. It lasts up to two years!</p>
<p><strong>Self-cleaning effect.</strong> Most dirt and debris will not stick in the first place so you may find yourself washing your vehicle much less often.</p>
<p>CQuartz can be applied to virtually any surface: glass, wheels, plastics, leather, and rubber.</p>
<p>For the best results, prep your vehicle properly before applying CQuartz Ceramic Quartz Paint Protection. Wash and clay the paint to remove all impurities. Polish if necessary to remove imperfections. CQuartz is only a protectant so you want to clean and polish before applying CQuartz. When your vehicle is looking its best, apply CQuartz to freeze it in that condition. It&#8217;s like pressing pause on your paint.</p>
<p>Nano technology has taken the car care industry by storm, but CQuartz Ceramic Quartz Paint Protection raises the bar of what nano technology can do for cars. CQuartz makes it possible to preserve your vehicle in its original condition with much less time and effort spent on maintenance.</p>

Don&#8217;t settle for partial dealer kits when you can avoid lines and edges and truely have an invisible product on you car!</p>
<p>Concours d&#8217;Elegance, literally translated, means &#8220;parade of elegance.&#8221; Since its inception, the term referred to a very special type of carriage or automobile show.</p>
<p>In the 1920&#8242;s the first Concours d&#8217;Elegance was staged as an elegant marketing effort in France. The custom automobile coach builders and fashion couturiers of Paris were making luxury products of important design and wanted a new and different way to reach their markets. In an effort to create a unique way to reach the market, an idea was developed of a grand exhibition combining both automobiles and fashion.</p>
<p>Fashion models dressed in the latest Paris creations would drive new automobiles up to a reviewing stand. The automobiles tended to be luxury cars decked-out with custom coach work. In many cases they were one-of-a-kind. The models would step out of the cars and model their fashions for the crowd. The cars and fashions were judged and awards given. The awards were based on beauty, design and style.</p>
<p>Before World War II, the Concours d&#8217;Elegance format was popular and became a premiere social event. The underlying objective was for manufacturers to reach the market for these beautiful high design products. Concours d&#8217;Elegance became the most elegant method of selling products. The Concours d&#8217;Elegance was meant not only as a car show, but also as a total extravaganza of style.</p>
<p>The Concours d&#8217;Elegance theme faded from the European market during WWII. It reemerged in the 1950&#8242;s in Pebble Beach.</p>
<p>Look forward to seeing many of our customers at the event and hopefully new ones. Bring the whole family and have a weekend of fun as you view some rare automotive history!</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p> <a href="http://www.pleasantdetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Tundra_Mocks_FrontAngle.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-749" title="Tundra_Mocks_FrontAngle" src="http://www.pleasantdetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Tundra_Mocks_FrontAngle-300x180.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="180" /></a>Pleasant Details is your go to company in Charleston for vehicle business wraps! We have put some basic information together to help in your decision to determine whether a vinyl vehicle wrap is right for your business.</p>
<p>Car wraps have emerged as an affordable and effective alternative to traditional advertising. Instead of paying top dollar for a 30-second television commercial or a one-month highway billboard advertisement, you can purchase a solution that lasts for years for a fraction of the cost.</p>
<p>Vehicle advertising allows you to turn your car, van, or box truck into a moving billboard for your business. With an eye-catching design and detailed messaging, a vehicle wrap gives brand exposure to thousands of potential customers, whether you&#8217;re driving on the highway or parking in areas with heavy foot traffic.</p>
<p>The primary benefit of using car wraps is that they provide the lowest cost per impression of any advertising method. Both the American Trucking Association and the Outdoor Advertising Association of America (a nonprofit group that tracks advertising statistics) indicate that vehicle wraps cost about $1 per thousand impressions (CPM). Compare that to $2 CPM for static billboards or $12 CPM for a one-day quarter-page newspaper ad, and it&#8217;s no wonder that the vehicle wrap industry is steadily growing.</p>
<p>This potential exposure for your business can be valuable, but it comes at a cost. Quality vehicle wraps start at $1,500 to $3,000 and can increase, depending on the size and model of the vehicle and the design you choose.</p>
<h3>Pros</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Significant exposure</strong> &#8211; According to studies from the Traffic Audit Bureau for Media Measurement (TAB), a vehicle wrap can generate 30,000 to 70,000 views per day.</li>
<li><strong>Long-lasting</strong> &#8211; Applied wraps typically last three to five years, allowing you to get the most for your investment.</li>
<li><strong>Protects finish</strong> &#8211; A wrap can help preserve a vehicle&#8217;s finish without hurting the resale value. Some customers even purchase one-color wraps in lieu of repainting their vehicles.</li>
<li><strong>Easy removal/repair</strong> &#8211; A professional installer can cleanly remove a wrap and eliminate all traces of the installation. If you need to make changes to an existing wrap, the installer only needs to replace individual panels.</li>
<li><strong>Exclusivity</strong> &#8211; Get the full benefits of advertising your business without sharing space with other advertisers (as you would with promotional mailers or rotating billboards).</li>
<li><strong>No bidding process</strong> &#8211; You&#8217;ll have no competition with other businesses to advertise in prime locations.</li>
<li><strong>Increased visibility for frequent drivers</strong> &#8211; Mobile advertising becomes increasingly more valuable for companies that put vehicles on the road frequently (such as delivery services or bus companies).</li>
</ul>
<p>Vehicle wraps are printed on sheets of cast or calendered vinyl. The primary difference between the two vinyl wraps is durability. Cast vinyl is best for long-term use of 1 to 5 years; calendered vinyl is appropriate for short-term wraps lasting just 3 to 12 months.</p>
<p><strong>Cast vinyl</strong> is a premium material that stretches easily to best conform to the vehicle&#8217;s surface. When brushed over with a clear laminate, cast vinyl provides a paint-like finish on cars, buses, and even boats.</p>
<p>In addition to increased flexibility, we  prefer cast vinyl because the sheets don&#8217;t shrink much during manufacturing, and also because they maintain colors better during printing. However, cast vinyl wraps are considerably more expensive than calendered material and isn&#8217;t recommended if you need a vehicle wrap for less than a year.</p>
<p><strong>Calendered</strong> vinyl has strong &#8220;memory&#8221; &#8211; it snaps back to its original form after being stretched. This means it doesn&#8217;t conform as well to vehicles. It&#8217;s also difficult to match colors. But calendered vinyl is much cheaper than cast material, and it can be produced in greater quantities. This makes it an acceptable solution for vinyl wraps lasting only a few months &#8211; especially if used on flat surfaces such as the side of a box truck &#8211; but not for long-term advertising.</p>
<h3>Vinyl wrap methods</h3>
<p>Pleasant Details offer different methods for wrapping your vehicle, depending on how much surface area you wish to cover.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Complete wrap</strong> &#8211; Covers the entire surface of the vehicle. Includes perforated window film (known as &#8220;window perfs&#8221;) that covers glass surfaces without impacting the driver&#8217;s visibility.</li>
<li><strong>Half wrap</strong> &#8211; Covers half the sides of the vehicle and extends around the back. Half wraps may also include a logo for the hood.</li>
<li><strong>Window graphics</strong> <strong>only</strong> &#8211; Graphics printed on window perfs.</li>
<li><strong>Vinyl lettering/spot graphics</strong> <strong>only </strong>- A simple and inexpensive solution that may include 1 to 2 colors, a company logo, and/or a call to action on the side of the vehicle.</li>
</ul>
<p>There are four main steps to creating vehicle wraps: <strong>designing, proofing, printing,</strong> and <strong>installing</strong>.</p>
<h3>Designing</h3>
<p>The design work is the longest part of the vehicle wrap process. It can take anywhere from 5 to 40 hours, depending on the complexity of the design and style of vehicle. Certain graphics may have to be specially cut and contoured to fit parts of the vehicle, which can take longer.</p>
<h3>Proofing</h3>
<p>Once the design is ready,  we create an electronic or printed proof of the wrap. It&#8217;s important to carefully examine the proof for any mistakes you find and immediately note any changes you want made to the final wrap before printing. Any changes you have after the wrap goes into final production can delay turnaround and add significantly to your costs.</p>
<h3>Printing</h3>
<p>Pleasant Details prints the finished design on 48-to 60-inch-wide vinyl sheets using a large-format, solvent-based printer. These printers produce vehicle wraps and other signage at a very high resolution. Complete vehicle wraps are typically printed in multiple panels and carefully pieced together during installation.</p>
<p>After printing the wrap, we set it aside for a few hours to &#8220;gas out.&#8221; This prevents the vinyl from bubbling or wrinkling during application.</p>
<h3>Installing</h3>
<p>Before we can begin installing your wrap, your vehicle needs to be thoroughly cleaned so that the wrap will adhere properly. Taking it through a high-pressure car wash that uses powerful detergents should clean off most grime and debris.</p>
<p>Once cleaned, we carefully align the vinyl panels to ensure proper fit and applies them to the vehicle. The installer uses a small tool like a heat gun to stretch and reposition the vinyl, and a squeegee to eliminate imperfections. When finished, he may apply a UV-coated laminate to the surface to protect the wrap and provide a glossier finish. This process also makes the wrap easier to remove when you no longer need it.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to note that installers rely on sharp razors to manipulate the vinyl and remove excess material around door handles and crevices. Even with expert installers, there&#8217;s some potential for minor nicks and scratches to the surface.</p>
<h3>Caring for your wrapped vehicle</h3>
<p>To keep the wrap clean, hand wash the vehicle regularly with soap, water, and a clean rag. Avoid high-pressure or bristle-based car washes that could lift up or tear the wrap, as well as waxes that could remove the laminate or minimize the wrap&#8217;s adhesion.</p>
<p>Vehicle wrap shops typically provide straightforward pricing &#8211; either a rate per square foot or a fixed dollar amount for the entire project. With either pricing model, your car wrap prices should include the entire project: consultations, design work, materials, and installation.</p>
<p>Most shops typically charge <strong>$12</strong> to <strong>$16</strong> per square foot for cast vinyl material to wrap vehicles. Project complexity and total installation time dictates the total price. Simple installations on smooth, flat surfaces are less expensive, while vehicles with deep concaves or complex designs will push car wrap prices to the high end. Less expensive calendered vinyl costs about $5 to $8 per square foot.</p>
<p>Special requests &#8211; like rush delivery, proofs printed to the actual vinyl, or changes to the design post-proof &#8211; can add significantly to your total costs.</p>
<p>If a sign shop provides a flat rate for the complete wrap, the costs typically vary based on the size and type of vehicle:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cars, compact SUVs &#8211; $2,000 to $3,000</li>
<li>Large SUVs, vans, box trucks, Hummers &#8211; $3,000 to $5,000</li>
<li>Buses, train cars, tractor trailers &#8211; $5,000 to $7,500</li>
<li>Vinyl lettering, spot graphics, window graphics only &#8211; $200 to $500</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that the above prices are estimates for high-quality cast vinyl, which is best for vehicle wraps lasting one year or longer. If the vendor uses calender vinyl for shorter-term wraps, expect your costs to drop by 40% to 50%.</p>
<p>If you need to wrap five or more vehicles, most vendors will offer volume discounts of 10% to 15%. You&#8217;ll not only save money by wrapping multiple vehicles at once, but you&#8217;ll also keep the design and messaging constant for your entire fleet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://www.pleasantdetails.com" target="_blank">Pleasant Details </a> in Charleston, South Carolina offering the best in ceramic films by Llumar.</p>
<div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><sup>AIR Blue dramatically reduces irreversible damage to human skin and vehicle interiors due to harmful ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared (IR) rays that penetrate ordinary window glass, while keeping the vehicle significantly cooler. </sup></span></span></div>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;While other films employ very dark tinting to achieve similar levels of solar energy rejection, AIR Blue’s color is light enough to meet visible light transmission laws for windscreens in most countries worldwide,&#8221; said Rainer Bechtold, global category director, automotive, CPFilms. &#8220;With AIR Blue in place, the vehicle and its occupants will be shielded from the effects of solar radiation, and the cabin surfaces will be cooler as well.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Testing in harsh climates has demonstrated that installing AIR Blue film can keep a vehicle’s interior surfaces as much as 16 C (30 F) cooler when compared to an unprotected vehicle. This temperature reduction not only increases comfort, but it also reduces the use of a vehicle’s cooling system – helping to decrease fuel consumption. AIR Blue film also offers a high degree of optical clarity and low reflectivity, so it will not impede night driving vision.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">&#8220;AIR Blue provides the ultimate in comfort and protection as well as an elegant look,&#8221; said Lisa Winckler, director, product development and technology, CPFilms. &#8220;With the advanced electronic systems in today’s vehicles, it is imperative that a window film allow optimum performance at all frequencies. AIR Blue achieves this standard, ensuring no signal interference from popular devices such as radios, GPS, keyless entry, cell phones and navigation devices.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">The unique technology used to produce AIR Blue (AIR80BLSRHPR) makes it the most state-of-the-art automotive film today. The film provides a proprietary non-metallized, non-conductive ceramic technology film with maximum heat rejection, maximum ultra-violet rejection, excellent optical clarity, and scratch- and corrosion-resistant properties.</span></p>
<div><span style="font-size: small;">LLumar® CTX™ Film Series. LLumar CTX Films utilize Ceramatrix™ Advanced Technology to provide superior UV absorption and heat rejection without blocking electronic signal transmissions.&#8221;In a world filled with wireless devices such as GPS, mobile phones and satellite radio receivers, it’s more important than ever to ensure that automotive window films provide the highest possible protection without disabling connectivity,&#8221; said Mark Gershenson, CPFilms’ Director of Product Marketing. &#8220;As part of the LLumar brand, our CTX Film Series is backed by more than 50 years of technology expertise and service. We are pleased to introduce this innovative new product that incorporates leading-edge technology to improve the performance of our signal enabling films.&#8221;</span></div>

<h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Pleasant Details Newest Addition To The Clear Bra Lineup!</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Being the clear bra install leader in South Carolina we are always testing and keeping up with industry trends. One of the newest films came out almost two years, which was Avery Nan-Fusion. We have been using the product and testing on our own vehicles with great success and have decided to offer it to our customers. We feel this film is the best film on the market due to the clarity, durability, and lifetime warranty. Avery Nano-Fusion will be the only film we offer with a lifetime warranty! Similar to our window tinting choices, our clear bra will be a better/best option. 3M Scotchgard &amp; 3M venture Ultra will be &#8220;Better&#8221; where as Avery Nano-Fusion will be &#8220;Best&#8221;. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Along with adding Avery Nano-Fusion, we have up fitted our install bay with a four post lift for increased efficiency. This will allow us to better install the film by being able to lower and rise the vehicle during application.We are the only shop in South Carolina with this type of lift for clear bra installs!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Feel free to swing by and see the upgrades and new Nano-Fusion Film.</strong></p>

<h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Clear Paint Protection Shield for Cars and Trucks</strong></h2>
<p>Bugs, rocks, sand and other various road debris begin attacking your automobile the second it leaves the showroom floor. They chip way through the clear coat and paint, leaving your car helpless against daily driving conditions. Until recently, the only practical solution to these problems were vinyl/leather car bras that offer poor coverage and often cause as much damage as they prevent. Now, let’s meet the solution: <strong>Clear Film for Cars </strong>by Avery Dennison.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Our Paint Protection Clear Bra Film: Nano-Fusion by Avery Dennison</strong>™</h3>
<p>Our Avery Dennison Nano-Fusion Film™ provides a barrier for your paint’s surface against harsh, environmental elements and everyday wear. Stone chips, road debris, bug acid and abrasion decrease the value of your automobile. Unlike using a leather car bra, our clear film remains invisible, allowing your vehicle’s aesthetics to shine through.</p>
<p>Nano-Fusion™ clear film is noted for its extreme ease of installation, superior clarity, and high gloss. Approved and used by Automotive OEM’s, these flexible films provide good resistance to the damaging effects of U.V., while allowing the brilliance of the automotive finish to come through.</p>
<p><strong><em>Key features:</em></strong></p>
<ul class="listitems">
<li>U.V. inhibitors to resist discoloration and cracking</li>
<li>Precision computer-cut designs</li>
<li>Protects against smudges &amp; abrasions</li>
<li>OEM Approved</li>
<li><strong>Limited lifetime warranty</strong></li>

</li>
</ul>
<p><a name="Benefits of Tinting"><strong>Benefits of Tinting</strong></a><br />
Heat rejection and a custom look for your auto are the two outstanding reasons most people consider auto window tinting.  In the last few years several of the major manufacturers involved in making window film have gone to great expense in developing a product that gives heat rejection rates of over 69%.  These high performance products, usually referred to as reflective, hybrid, metalized or ceramic films, generally carry a lifetime warranty against turning purple, bubbling and peeling, as well as a special scratch resistant coating.  The scratch resistant coating can protect your investment from every day use of rolling the windows up and down.  Along with the enhanced performance and warranties available with quality metalized films, you can also be assured of the great custom look window tinting will give your car.</p>
<p>Glare reduction and protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays that harm you and your cars interior are also excellent reasons to purchase tinting. Whether it&#8217;s the blinding glare of the sun or the friendly interstate tailgater, tinted windows can be an answer to the problem. Medical experts and auto upholstery technicians both have long known what the damaging UV rays from the sun, even on cloudy days, can do to our skin and auto interior! NO MORE &#8211; - today&#8217;s quality tinting materials eliminate up to 99% of these UV rays before they can get into your auto.<br />
Tinting has always been associated with increased security for your auto, what a thief does not or cannot see usually will be left alone! Recently, some window film manufacturers have introduced safety tinting that can strengthen your windows to a point even a baseball bat wielding thief will have a tough time breaking into your auto through the windows. A somewhat overlooked safety aspect is in the event of an auto accident, window tinting can help shattered glass hold together helping to prevent it from spraying the inside of the auto with sharp splinters of glass.<br />
Last, but certainly an important consideration in your decision to purchase tinting, would be the years of comfort a quality tinting product will give you and your auto. Dollar for dollar, window tinting for your car improves the looks and protects your interior better than any other aftermarket product available anywhere!</p>
<hr />
<p><strong><strong><strong><strong> </strong><a name="Educate Yourself"></a><br />
</strong><br />
Educate Yourself Before Buying!<br />
</strong></strong></p>
<p>Every day thousands of people make what they think will be a simple decision &#8211; to have tinting applied to their vehicle&#8217;s windows. The decision can quickly become complicated when they start shopping around. To start, within many local markets, the installed price can vary over $100 from one shop to the next for tinting the same vehicle. Then there are the different kinds of tinting from various manufacturers &#8211; non-reflective, hybrid, full metal, titanium, stainless steel &#8211; with colors ranging from bluish to gray or charcoal to the coffee brown found in bronze/stainless steel tints.<br />
There are also different installation methods. Some shops leave a small gap or micro-edge at the top of the roll down windows, while other shops take the tinting all the way to the edge of the glass when the window is rolled down. The latter method looks much better, but can cost more because of the extra time involved in installation. Rear windows can usually be formed from one piece of tinting material. The one-piece rear window installation, when possible is preferable over the rear window being installed in several pieces. One-piece rear windows can also cost more due to the extra time and expertise needed for this type of tinting installation.<br />
The price each shop charges for vehicles can depend on several variables.<br />
Three of the most important are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Brand Name</li>
<li>Type of material used</li>
<li>Quality of the installation itself</li>
</ul>
<p>The major tinting manufacturers usually have three different qualities of tinting materials available to the local tinting shops.</p>
<ul>
<li>The lowest quality is referred to as a non-reflective/dyed material. This type of tinting, usually the cheapest, has the shortest guarantee, and has a tendency to turn purple and form bubbles over time.</li>
<li>Next is the hybrid or high performance tinting which is the best selling product nationwide. Hybrid tinting is referred to as a reflective product, but don&#8217;t let the term reflective confuse you. This type of tinting has a slightly different appearance and color from the non-reflective. The big difference is hybrid tinting rejects much more solar heat and the product warranties are much better than the standard non-reflective products. Most major tinting manufacturers offer extended or lifetime warranties for the hybrid/high performance products.</li>
<li>The next grades of products are the relatively new full metal or ceramic tinting materials. These products usually have the same or slightly higher solar hear rejection statistics when compared to hybrid tinting materials. The warranties for full metal tinting are usually lifetime and some include a clause against fading of the material over an extended period of time. The higher reflective qualities of full metal tinting products are objectionable to some buyers. Care should be taken in choosing what type of tinting material best suits your needs.</li>
</ul>
<p>To make your final decision on who will tint your windows, there are a <a href="http://www.autowindowtinting.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=content.display&amp;pageID=145"><strong>few questions</strong></a> you should ask your local tinting shops. Based on the information found in this section, you should be able to make an informed decision that will add comfort, beauty, safety and value to your auto for years to come.</p>
<p>Questions you should ask when shopping for window tinting in Charleston, South Carolina:</p>
<p>1. How many cars do you tint? How long will it take?</p>
<p>2. Can I see examples of your work? How long have you been in business/tinting?</p>
<p>3. What are the local laws?</p>
<p>4. What is the guarantee?</p>
<p>5. What brand and type tinting does the price include? Make sure you understand the warranty for the type of film quoted.</p>
<p>6. How do you finish the top edge of roll down windows? Is there a gap, or no gap?</p>
<p>7. Will the rear window be installed in one piece?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Paint Protection Film, an optically clear paint protection film for automobiles. The 8-mil film is designed to offer a removable shield against scratching, chipping and minor surface damage that can mar auto paint finishes. The product’s extreme flexibility allows it to be installed seamlessly over radically curved body surfaces.  A nearly undetectable protective urethane film designed to resist impact from everyday damaging road hazards such as gravel, debris, stones, road salt and insects. Application-specific computer-cut patterns securely fit all chip-prone surfaces such as the hood, mirrors and bumpers. Pleasant Details, LLC in Mt Pleasant, SC has three certified 3M installers and hundreds of installs. Pleasant Details is becoming one of the best clear bra shops in the south! Pleasant Details has  a working relationship with local dealers such as Baker Motor Company, and Rick Hendrick to do clear bra installs for custo<a href="http://www.pleasantdetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/CPC_LLumarPPF.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-724" title="CPC_LLumarPPF" src="http://www.pleasantdetails.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/CPC_LLumarPPF-300x298.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="298" /></a>mers.</p>
<p>When shopping around for a clear bra installer, be sure to do you homework to prevent a bad experience. Your installer should be trained by 3M or Xpel, have a plotter and software system to cut patterns at the shop, has at least 3-5 installs a week, uses a quality film, and can show you an example of a install in person. Be careful of a shop that orders film online because if they mess up the install they are going to do what they can to make it work.  Just because a shop can install window film doesn&#8217;t mean they can install clear bra material. Our head tinter Matt has been tinting for over 20 years and isn&#8217;t one of our3 installers for ppf film. Ask to see what the kit will look like, ask for a sample of film, and talk to the installer to see what knowledge of the product he has.</p>
<p>We look forward to helping you with any questions you may have about clear bra material and e sure to stop by our shop to see it in person!</p>

<div>
<div>When it comes to selecting the proper window film for your vehicle, the market is vast. But you want more than options. You want the right option. Choose LLumar window film to provide the ultimate performance.</div>
</div>
<h2>Solar Protection</h2>
<p>The sun’s rays can cause a car’s interior to become unbearably hot. Installing a high performance window film can reduce your car’s interior surface temperatures by as much as 16°C (29°F)… creating a more comfortable ride, lessening the burden on the air conditioning system, and saving fuel.</p>
<h2>Ultraviolet Protection</h2>
<p>Ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause damage to a vehicle’s interior — and to human skin. LLumar window film with <a href="http://www.llumar.com/en/AutoUltravioletProtection.aspx">UVShield™ technology</a> forms a protective barrier that blocks up to 99.9% of UV rays, which keeps your car’s interior looking newer, longer, and shields you and your passengers from UV exposure that can contribute to skin cancer.</p>
<h2>Additional Protection for Windscreens</h2>
<p>A cooler interior starts at your windscreen! These technologically advanced films offer extraordinary level of protection from infrared and ultraviolet rays. <a href="http://www.llumar.com/en/AutoWindscreen.aspx">Learn more about our windscreen films.</a></p>
<h2>Quality</h2>
<p>To ensure lasting quality, all LLumar window films are professionally installed by highly trained technicians. Using proprietary <a href="http://www.llumar.com/en/InfoPrecisionCutSystem.aspx">LLumar PrecisionCut™</a> technology, each LLumar window film pattern is computer-generated and trimmed precisely to factory specifications, ensuring a perfect fit. And our LLumar HPR adhesive is known worldwide for its strength, durability and optical clarity. This quality and attention to detail will give you the confidence that you’ve made the best choice.</p>
<h2>Customize Your Ride</h2>
<p>Do you want your car to stand out from the crowd? Whether you want your ride to look elegant, or head turning hot, LLumar window film can help make that happen. In fact, when you have LLumar professionally installed on your car, you not only get the look you want. But you also get a high performing, durable window film.</p>
<p>With LLumar window film&#8217;s exclusive range of films available in a variety of colors and shades, you can choose a look for your car that truly complements your personality.</p>
<h2>Enhance Style without Sacrificing Performance</h2>
<p>Auto enthusiasts agree that LLumar films are the most stylish films on the market. But you don’t have to sacrifice style and appearance to protect yourself and your investment. With LLumar you can count on:</p>
<ul>
<li>Color-stable film that never turns purple</li>
