Excellent job applying PPF and window tint on our new Subaru Outback. We also had it put on our Toyota Rav three years ago and it looks great. Their customer service is amazing also as they helped us remove a spot on our Toyota and answered many questions we had regarding ceramic coating.

Loved the convenience of having them come to my house to do my ceramic coating. Nick did a great job! UPDATE. Took my SUV to have the windows tinted. Another great job! Thanks!

Highly recommend Nathan’s. We had window tint and PPF done on our ‘26 Tesla Model Y. Everything was great from start to finish. Beki was a huge help the whole way through. Answered all questions, and even kept us updated throughout the process. Thanks again! You’ll have our business again in the future!

I cannot say enough good things about Nathan’s Auto Detailing! It’s a high quality, highly professional business yet has the nicest of individuals working as a collective team to deliver the best results possible. Having bought a new Model Tesla 3, I made arrangements with Nathan’s before taking delivery of the vehicle. They were patient enough to describe all of the service options, pricing, and even made arrangements for my drop off. During every step of the process, team members stated in touch to keep me updated and address my questions. I couldn’t be happier with the results from the three services completed: PPF, ceramic coating, and window tinting. Thank you Nathan and team for making my new vehicle even more stellar!

Nathan's did a fantastic job on my car. Scheduled a time that they would be able to tint and detail my 22 Civic Si at their location. Brought it in at 8 am and it was done the following morning. Specifically asked for attention on some stains on the interior, they completely removed all of them! Great work guys!

Ah, the anxiety of a big purchase—who among us hasn’t felt like a freshman on the first day of class, clutching their schedule and hoping they’re not about to walk into Advanced Quantum Mechanics by mistake? That was me, folks, staring at my brand-new showroom-fresh vehicle with only 500 miles on it, determined to preserve that radiant shine with tinted windows and a ceramic coating. But where to begin? I embarked on a quest worthy of a dissertation, calling over ten companies across Cleveland, Mentor, and Lorain. I was ready to drive as far as needed—heck, I’d have driven to Toledo if it meant getting it done right. But let me tell you, the customer service landscape out there? It’s like grading final exams—some are excellent, but many leave you wondering if anyone read the instructions. And don’t get me started on those online forms. Fill one out, and suddenly you’re being contacted more aggressively than a clingy Tinder match who thinks “No thanks” means “Try harder.” I was bombarded with texts, calls, and zero clarity. It was all “How much can you pay?” and none of the nurturing guidance a nervous buyer like me needed. Enter Nathan’s Auto Detailing—cue the heavenly choir! With over 1,300 glowing reviews, I thought, “Surely this is the Ivy League of auto detailing.” I submitted my info and braced for the onslaught. But instead of a barrage, I got one—yes, one—call. And it was from Beki. Now, Beki didn’t just answer questions—she taught. She explained the process with the calm confidence of a tenured professor and encouraged me to take my time. I half expected her to assign me a reading list and office hours. I peppered her with questions like a student trying to impress on the first day, and not once did she rush me or brush me off. Here’s a joke for you: I was so nervous about ceramic coating, I half expected to sign a lease on a second car just to practice on. But Beki’s approach was so reassuring, I ended up getting both my car and my wife’s done. That’s right—ceramic tinting for both, and ceramic coating for mine! And when I dropped by unannounced (yes, I was that student), I met Nick, who was just as welcoming and knowledgeable. The facility was spotless, the team was professional, and the whole experience felt like I’d finally found the right classroom. Another joke? I was so worried about making the wrong choice, I almost asked Beki if there was a return policy on my confidence. Turns out, I didn’t need one—she and Nick earned it. So, dear reader, let me save you the research paper: Nathan’s Auto Detailing is the summa cum laude of car care. I’ve done the legwork, asked the questions, and tested the service. If you want it done right—with kindness, clarity, and craftsmanship—this is the place. And my car looks amazing!!! Sincerely, Mr. 1,000 Questions lol

Frequently Asked Questions

A smiling yellow emoji wearing a graduation cap and holding an open book.
Which tint options block the most heat and UV?

Ceramic window tint (we install XPEL Prime ceramic films) blocks up to 99% of UV and significantly reduces infrared heat for a cooler, more comfortable cabin—without going overly dark. It’s the premium choice for performance and clarity in Northeast Ohio.

Dyed is budget-friendly but offers minimal heat rejection and Ceramic is the top tier, delivering superior IR heat rejection, UV blocking, signal-friendly performance, and optical clarity.

We help you pick shades that comply with current Ohio regulations and your goals for privacy and heat reduction. Our team confirms legal guidelines at your appointment so your tint looks great and stays compliant.

Keep windows up for 72 hours after install; full cure typically takes 7 days depending on weather. Light haze or a slight “watered” look is normal during curing and will clear as moisture evaporates.

A few tiny moisture pockets or light haze can appear while the film cures and will disappear on their own. If anything persists after the cure window, we’ll inspect and make it right if it doesnt meet our high standards.

Yes—we can closely match the shade and look of factory privacy glass while adding real heat and UV protection that factory-colored glass alone doesn’t provide. We’ll meter existing glass and recommend the best film to blend seamlessly.

Our window tint films include a manufacturer-backed lifetime warranty against peeling, bubbling, fading, and discoloration when professionally installed by Nathan’s Detailing. You’ll leave with documentation and care tips to keep your tint looking new.

No. XPEL Prime XR Plus ceramic window tint uses nano-ceramic particles instead of metal, so it doesn’t interfere with GPS, Bluetooth, cellular, AM/FM radio, satellite radio, or phone-as-key systems. Cheap dyed and metallic films can block or weaken signal — true ceramic does not. This matters for Tesla owners using FSD navigation, anyone relying on built-in GPS, and any modern vehicle with phone-as-key entry. We only install signal-friendly XPEL Prime films at Nathan’s Detailing.
No. Under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, an automaker cannot void your factory warranty just because you installed aftermarket window tint. They can only deny a specific claim if the tint directly caused the failure — which is rare with a professional install. Our XPEL Prime films also carry a manufacturer-backed lifetime warranty against peeling, bubbling, fading, and discoloration, on top of our installer guarantee.
Install time depends on the vehicle. A standard sedan takes 2–4 hours, an SUV or truck takes 3–5 hours, and Teslas or vehicles needing old-tint removal take 4–8 hours. We schedule one tint installation per bay per day at our Bedford, Ohio studio so technicians never rush. You’ll get a confirmed time slot when you book; most clients drop off in the morning and pick up the same afternoon.
