Maine market context
Why Maine aftermarket shops grow on SalesThumb
Portland metro + the coastal towns pull a steady luxury and recreational-vehicle market. Salt-belt winters drive ceramic + PPF for paint protection more than aesthetics.
Maine film tint laws
Maine allows 35% VLT on front side; rear sides + back glass any darkness. Windshield: top 5 inches AS-1 line. Medical exemption available.
SalesThumb's state VLT compliance check uses these ME thresholds at quote time. Out-of-spec selections trigger an auto-attached customer waiver to the invoice.
