Tint help/info wanted.

Question.

What about cleaning your windows after you get them tinted? Can you use Windex, Vinegar with water, Sprayway or what is recommended? I would assume some cleaners can be harmful to the tint? TIA

Seems like a decent price, now to get the tint. I had the windows tinted on my 1980 Thunderbird. No idea what the % was but I hated driving it at night. I regularly rolled down the driver's window and sometimes the passenger's before I would make a turn because it was difficult to see so have always been reluctant to tint a vehicle's windows ever since plus I was always concerned getting pulled over, fortunately that never happened in the 2 1/2 years of ownership.

I’d recommend 15% all around

There is a big difference in price and performance between the ceramic and nano-ceramic.

Before you have tint installed that is 20 or below, you should ask to see it at night and make sure you are happy with the visibility. I brought a black Nissan Frontier with dark tinted windows (I don't know the percent, but it was certainly higher than 5%). Visibility out the side windows was terrible at night, dusk with sunglasses, in a poorly lit parking garage, etc. There were a number of times that I had to roll the windows down to see well enough to maneuver - in the winter in Colorado up hill both ways.

Check the film manufacturers websites for more information. There is a difference in how much UV is blocked and this is what heats up the interior of the cab. This is why people will pay the premium price for ceramic films.

As promised, pics. Llumar Stratos 15% and 50%. Went with this because of its heat rejection properties. One of if not the best window film on the market right now.

Good pictures. I noticed you still have a windshield sunscreen as well as the film tint. I was hoping to get some good ceramic tint and avoid buying a Covercraft or some other sunscreen. Is that just a pipe dream?

You're chasing margins after installing good tint.

The windshield is the only glass I haven’t done yet, and now that it’s summer I realize that was a mistake. I can have the moonroof shade open all the time and still have 90% of the heat come through the windshield. I’ll be taking it back to put Llumar Air 80 on it.

Anybody have pics of carbonized grey metallic with tinted front sides?

Margins are needed on Hell's front porch and in Florida. ?

App remote start has ya covered. Just have to think ahead 10 minutes

I can say for sure after a few weeks in a loaner, with no tint - it really works.

I'm miserable for about 10 minutes after starting up. With tint, roll down the windows to let the heat out, then it's cold 2-3 min later..

Just got Xpel Prime XR Plus Nano-Ceramic tint installed 30 all around, including the moonroof. Literally picked it up 10 minutes ago. I will report my thoughts as I get them, but it is going to take a week or so to fully cure.
