This is one weird episode of dude perfect
☠️☠️☠️
😂😂😂
35 year old white guys with beards look like DP with their hat backwards
This is a great example of a video for businesses to upload. Both informative and shows off the business
I appreciate that!
I am so happy with the tint and paint protection you applied to my new car a couple of years ago. I will continue to recommend your company. Thank you!
Great to hear!
@ChicagoAutoPros in 2 windows ,the tinting is deteriorating (?) And producing like glitter dust...
What is this?any solution?
Beforehand, Thank you.
A bit too far away to be a customer of you but this is a great guide, I would have loved this a few years ago when I tried to make sense of all of this. It's probably a good call out to also mention that tints offering UV protection will also help your car not age as much on the inside, as they won't have UV rays hitting them and causing wear/fade. As someone who lives in the desert where the Sun is doing it's best to try and cook you as soon as it's out, I'd strongly recommend anyone shopping for a car to factor in the cost of good ceramic tint and get it soon, as it will make your car cooler and quicker to cool once it's been in the sun for a while, as well as making any leather type seating material go from torturous to ok, maybe even nice if it's hitting the seat back and you have a bad back. Ceramic tints on the windshield have an added benefit of making road trips easier, as you aren't getting sunburnt from the sun & road reflection.
For the team of Chicago Auto Pros, any specific brands that you'd recommend? And also, any special care that we'd need to do on our tints to both keep them clean but not scratch/dissolve them?
This is the most helpful tint video I have seen yet. Very high production value as well. Thanks for the info.
Evvironemnt matters a LOT. My 30% tint is absolutely fine in day, could go 5%, in the city with street lighting at night it's still fine. I live in the country. As soon as I leave town, 30% tint is absolutely black when looking outside from dusk on. I crack my window when turning so I don't hit a pedestrian. It was a huge mistake, yes I like the look and privacy, but you've gotta be able to see while driving... It also mutes all color. The whole world looks like a darker brown/beige bland colorless old movie.
2:36 - This is fantastic, glad I watched. I was going to go with my ol tint shop who did metalized on my last sled. Ceramic for me now. 👍
Glad I finally got my XC90 to you for the nano ceramic tint to be installed. Nice bonus to see that one of your detailers also has a sharp looking XC90.
Always bringing us the best content. Thanks again.
Of all videos I’ve watched to learn about different types of film and sunlight percentages, this is by far the best video I have seen. I wish you were on the west coast, you’d have my business! Thank you for sharing.
Glad it was helpful! You can find reputable detailers and installers on our website: chicagoautopros.com
@@ChicagoAutoProsi checked your website online and cant find where gou suggest reputable detailers and installers. I am in the east coast and interested in this services
Do Ppf & Ceramic coatings next! This is great for informing customers and educating them on film
My man, you are full of useful info. Glad I watched you following AMD's high mileage cleaning.
That was really good information, and well-presented. Thank you!
This is a super helpful reference video. Much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful!
This is one of the best video and very informative.
Been watching a few videos on window tinting by businesses and this is by far the best. Direct, concise, and informative. If I was up north, I'd use you guys, but sadly I'm in the south. Do you have any associates in the ATL area that you'd recommend?
Well done! Very well spoken and props to the editor!
Wow, thank you, and thank you for adding the state law tint
Thank you so much for this video! Very helpful, blessings!
Now, THIS is a video I can appreciate. (Not that I don't appreciate all your other videos!)
Thank you for this video, awesome info man!
This was so helpful! Thank u❤
Thankyou for this knowledge!
Super informative. Thank you for posting.
Glad it was helpful!
Great Video!
I'm freaking happy that I watched this viddy! Very good explained 10/10🎉
No problem! Glad it helped.
Great video enjoy the straight forward. Interesting i was recently turned down to tint my windshield here in South Florida even with a State issued Exemption. Some companies here will turn you down. Today i got my windshield tinted after replacing a windshield. I always stay with the 15% nano premium and 5% around here in South Florida its a game changer especially on 100+ days you dont feel rhe hear coming in
So, basically:
Types of Window Tint Films:
Dyed Film: Least expensive, lasts 2-5 years, may fade, and bubble.
Metallized Layer Film: More expensive, includes a reflective layer, helps prevent premature fading, and keeps the car cooler.
Carbon and Ceramic Layer Films: Advanced options, block infrared heat effectively, providing better performance and appearance.
UV and Infrared Rays:
Most films block about 99% of UV rays.
Dyed films only block about 20% of infrared rays.
Ceramic films can block up to 98% of infrared rays, keeping the car much cooler.
Visible Light Transmission (VLT):
VLT ranges from 5% (very dark, limo tint) to 50% (much lighter).
Chicago Auto Pros offers a variety of VLT percentages (5% to 80%), allowing customers to experience different tint levels in-person.
Common Questions Addressed:
Windshield Tinting: Yes, it's possible, commonly done with an 80% VLT for reduced glare.
Warranty: Ceramic films come with a lifetime warranty against peeling, fading, or bubbling.
Winter Tinting: Yes, it can be done, and it might be the best time due to a less crowded schedule.
Very informative, thanks.
Super informative video man. Thanks
No problem! Glad it helps.
Great information, thank you
Thank you for the video. Is there any tent that reduces glare from the inside? I know that’s a weird question, but at night when I turn the car on all the lights on the dash and the aftermarket LED strip shines and bounces off the inside of the new ceramic tent.
15-25% on the sides and back and 50% windshield and sunroof is the best. If your rear sides and back are stained dark from factory, slap them with 8%0 so the final number stays around 15-20% and you can still see out of it at night. No darker than 50% windshield for comfortable night driving, with 35% being the hard limit. I had something that metered 29% for about a week and felt like I was wearing weak sunglasses at night, so I went back and had my shop rip it for 50% instead. It was positively luxurious on the windshield in the daytime, though. Didn't even need sunglasses, but with the 50% I'd still choose to put them on during the brightest moments.
You'll get pulled over constantly with 50% windshield in Ohio, so going that dark isn't worth the risk to me. In my area they do not play when it comes to dark tint. I typically go 70% on windshield, 30% on front doors, 15% in the rear. I know some people just have to have side windows matched, but I'd rather have them slightly mismatched than to be harassed by the popo all the damn time.
They also make dyed film that has a lifetime warranty. Yes, this film will also eventually begin fading but it will most likely outlast the life of the car or at least last longer than how long you will keep the car. 99% of my customers don’t care what happens to the tint in 20 years because they don’t own it anymore. Something else to keep in mind is that tint will not prevent the ambient temperature of the exterior from getting inside, especially if the vehicle is sitting outside. If it’s 95 degrees outside it will be at least 95 degrees (and more) inside.
Tip: make sure you tint your glass roof(sunroof).
Great video Jason. Nice and clear explanation of tint. 👍
Great observation. Without tint, we've seen cars reach well past 140ºF... Something to think about as well. It's all about that infared heat rejection!
I live in Orange County CA where do you suggest I go to to get my car windows tinted ?
Awesome video thank you
Well explained
great explanation, need to do my black sl550, thing is a heat trap in summer.
Thank you!
Great video. I'm in So Cal, but if I was in the Chicago area, i would schedule with you guys. Appreciate the info.
Thank you for your video.
Thanks for the video. I was wondering typically how dark tint can you put on the rear window of a single cab truck? Thanks again for all the education and information on window tent
Such a W video thank you
I've had 3M color stable on the Big Body Lexus since 2011 and it still looks brand new. I'm curious about the film y'all use.
3:01 You are right about the factory going as low as 20%VLT for the rear; even where I'm from here in Perth Australia, our car window tint laws allow the rear and side-rear tints to be no lower than 20%VLT. Its probably a common standard that is adopted by many legislations world wide.
In the US, many states make it illegal to go below 35 😂 so i highly doubt they are selling cars with 20 tint in the US sadly
@@GenesisRasphotos its 35% here is AUS for the front side windows, the back side windows and rear window are allowed to be 20%
In New York state, you can only go down to 70% tint on windshield and sides. I fn hate it here

great guide! been looking for a quality auto channel, think i just found it
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, thanks. Can you say how much more expensive ceramic is compared with dyed?
30 % are the perfect choice 👌
Its more Brown and the chrome detail inside youre car will be seen from outside ❤
So do I still get the high IR and UV isolation with the 70% ceramic?
What type of LED lights should I have on a 2018 Honda pilot for 5% VLT on my windshield?
This video came out at the right time. I need to get tint on my brand new Mach 1 and didn’t know where to start. I’m not an expert on tint lol. Thanks for the info!
Let us know if you have any questions! Tint on a Mustang is a must!
Don’t go so dark that you can’t drive at night 😅
I have 15 on my sides and 5 on the back it's pretty good
The sides aren't too dark but gives you the privacy you want without going overkill with 5.
I'm thinking of doing 30 or 50 on the front
great stuff
Had to show my wife how the ceramic tint can reduce the heat inside the car. Getting into a hot car will sometimes trigger a migraine. Time to schedule, thanks.
Is there a tint that looks limo from the outside in. But looking out is not equally as dark? Looks like a 50 or 80 when looking inside out?
Great information and explanation! Would love for you to do my 2024 X5. Unfortunately, I live in Atlanta. You wouldn’t happen to have any colleagues with the same capabilities that you would recommend in the Atlanta area?
Great video! So my dilemma is, i had 5% regular windshield tint couldn’t see at night so i went with ceramic 20%. So now my issue is that i feel like i can see too much from the inside now compared to what i just had. My question is, if i went to 5% ceramic, will the inside look like the 20% ceramic or it changes drastically? If it changes drastically how would it compare to the 5% regular tint from the inside perspective
VERY GOOD VIDEO
can you tint the outside of a sunroof using the ceramic tints?
I got my windows tinted 6 yrs ago, 70% driver/passenger and 5% in the back. I retinted the front to 5% to match the back, but I went to a different location and noticed that looking out the windows is harder through the front than the rear. Is this because the tint is still new, or because of the quality of the tint? The rear tint is still in great shape, no bubbling/discoloration/peeling and it’s easy to see out the window at 5%
Hey there- great video. I checked out the website and see you have great resources so thank you. New Hampshire state law limit on front side window tint I thought was 70% when I looked online. On your website it says 35%, same as the rear side windows. Have the laws changed? Looking for confirmation!
Great video
Can you tint plastic windows like in Jeeps? I know you can get it tinted from the factory but doesn’t come on the door windows if they are plastic.
What kind of tint is used on a Mercedes s class or ranger rover ( the blue color one) ? Is it like an inbuilt windshield glass or is it possible we can get that blue colour effect 😃
Very informative! Too bad I don't live closer. I'd go to you for this tint
please i have a sprinter van cargo and turn it to passenger van with a front ac only can i buy ceramic tint or ac for the van when is very hot
Can you make a video on your double ceramic tint films?
i just tinted my front side windows 20% same as the back dealership tint but its carbon ceramic tint , is it supposed to be darker in the beginning and fade slowly over time? It’s supposed to be lighter inside right?
Got my windshield tinted recently at a shop near me in TX and with polarized sunglasses I see the "rainbow effect" when the sun shines on it in certain angles. Is there a winshield film that does not have this effect that i can consider or do all the clear films have this rainbow effect when viewed through polarized sunglasses?
Which percentage tint would you put on windows that have the factory 20% in the glass already? I want limo black but am wondering if a 5% tint would be too much since the windows are already very dark 🤔 as I want to be able to see out of them haha
What is the difference between Premium Ceramic and Geoshield Pro Nano Ceramic? which one is better for UV protection and longevity?
Is there a NY Auto Pros? Or do you have an affiliate shop in NYC?
Is there a perceived difference when going with 80 vs 5% with the same type of tint? Will the darker tint make you feel more comfortable inside the passenger cabin vs clear?
I get it about its difference, the thing is how do I know I did not pay for ceramic, but had installed dyed?
Informative
Ikr
Yes agreed
How about low angle haze with ceramic tint?
How would I k ow if I received the 5% tint I ask for is there a way to text the percentage?
After installation what numbers are we looking for in camber and toe?
Question....does the rear tinted windows from the factory block the uv and iv rays like the premium ceramic tint will. I have a 2024 Ford Edge with factory rear tinted windows. I plan on getting the ceramic tint on my front untinted windows soon. Thank you.
Appreciate the video! Can’t find a link to your website in the description, figured it should be right at the top but don’t see an easy one to click on.

Perfect! Thank you
What is the difference between PVC film & PET films for home windows which is better , can i use it car windows as well ?
How much of an improvement of heat rejection would we get from a tinted roof vs. not tinted with the 2023 Model Y?
It's pretty common actually to get the roof tinted on the new Teslas that are coming out! It helps tremendously.
If your car comes with dark windows from the factory do you have to remove that before tinting?
What ceramic tint do you use? Xpel, global, Lumar, 3m etc
Do you guys also wrap cars as well.
I love all your videos ever since Savageese first introduced me to you guys. Is there almost equivalent shop like yours in Los Angeles? Or do you guys plan on expanding your skilled services to the West? :c
i had a local shop to mine and somehow there is hair or something like that inside the film and window and they said that i have to wait two till the film cure than contract them back so i will see what will do about it in a few weeks
Too bad you're not local. I had my car ceramic tinted and it does work to keep the interior cooler and help the AC work less to coolthe car after sitting. The windshield tinted ting (I went with 80%) messed badly with my auto on lights. They came on way too early and often. So keep that in mind when tinting the windshield. The biggest issue is heat soak from the roof and sunroof. I assume tinting those would improve heat rejection.
Saw it after tinting my car, but it's ok. I got metallic tint by fluke, i guess.
The salesman didn't give me options as i was having 60% discount coupon 😅
Thank you
You're welcome
The LUCID in the back though!
What about Photochromic film or Transition ?
What brand do you recommend?
Protect yourself from skin cancer and skin damage by having your car side and rear windows tinted. I got the lightest tint applied to my 2017 Prius Prime when it was new. I am glad I did. No worries about the sun damaging my skin while I am in my car. Side windows normally allow a lot of UVA rays through.
I was thinking of getting my 2002 corvette convertible tinted. I was just wondering about the cost.
i never got my windows tinted before but was wondering if it’s possible to get have the front windshield tinted 80% then have the top 4 inches a lot darker?
You can certainly do that! Some customers that go with 50% and up sometimes wish they went darker. You really get used to it after a day or two.
Have you ever use ceramic tint on an ocean going sailboat?
Will tint windshield be easier to fog up?
Is amio window tint film good/easy to install?
Thoughts on a brand of tint called SolarFX? Just got some nano-ceramic auto windows done with it
question, to prevent bubbles from my window tints do i go with the ceramic tint or does the type of tint have nothing to do with bubbles and it has to do with the person installing the tints
Bubbles after installation have nothing to do with the type of tint. It's up to the installer to properly install your tint! However, bubbling can occur over time with off-brand or low-quality tint.
