This is an older video so now they have the 3M CERAMIC IR series you can choose. However the film with the most heat rejection is 3M CRYSTALLINE. We will do an updated video soon!
The heat rejection of you Ceramic IR Tint is great! I'm just thinking. Can it be also installed on the body of the vehicle? Like the roof and the doors? Will it stick to the paint of the vehicle? Thanks!
Hey butch thanks for the comment! Window tint is installed on the inside of the vehicle and is not designed to be exposed to the elements. We do have paint protection films and vinyl wrap which goes on the exterior to protect it from damage and uv rays or even change the color! Many different options to choose from with exterior films! Hope this helps!
@@thebongpianist35 Glare reduction is relative to how dark the film is. The darker it is the more glare it blocks. But be wary of how dark you choose to go for the windshield due to state laws and visibility at night for your safety.
The most popular shade we sell is 20%. This is what you see on most standard factory stained glass on the back of SUVs/ trucks that come from the dealerships. You could also try a 15% but for some they might have a little trouble with night visibility especially if they drive where there is not a lot of lights. Hope this helps!
Unfortunately none of these films are bulletproof. However, 3m does make a security film called 3m Scotchshield Security Series! This film helps to hold glass fragments in place when glass is shattered, providing additional personal and property security for you. Although I don't believe the film is 100% bullet proof this would likely be your closest bet. We also carry an exterior film that you can check out called Clearplex by Madico that is mostly applied to front windshields and is designed to take a lot of abuse. We have seen some videos on youtube where people shoot bullets at it and it does not penetrate the film! Hope this helps!
Hi there, just wondering if you know anything about llumar pp60 sunfilms? How's it compared to the 3m CR60 films?? Got any alternatives with 60% visibility?
We have never heard of that llumar "pp" film. We do stand behind CR that it is the best heat rejection film on the market. CR is the only film we carry that comes in 60%. Although we have other lines of film that have 50% or 70%. Hope this helps!
Never heard that one before - or seen it! Crystalline is one of the most highly engineered films on the market today. 3M guarantees no fading for life. We sell tons of this stuff and can say with confidence its the best!
@@jeffghant4760 awesome! we are pro shops too the only ones in illinois! Rest assure you are getting the best of the best with crystalline. You just cant go wrong. Cheers!
@@ztechwindowtint I procrastinated but I finally made the appointment for next week. My only concern is I have a '21 Forester and Subarus come with the EyeSight Cameras/Sensors between the visors. Some people have reported the sensors not working properly with the tint even if it's clear tint. I may have to hold off on the windshield especially since Subaru advises against even touching those cameras. It sucks.
I got Crystalline 3M tint on my 2020 Cadillac CT6. These guys were amazing and I love the tiny. I went with a 50 and it looks great on the car. Is it true 3M invented tint?
Crystalline doesn't have 30 right? I just choose the crystalline Front 70 Front side 50 Rear side 40 Rear 40 For my dad's car Actually I prefer 30 for rear side But the dealer said he didn't have 30
Hello, good morning, I am getting in touch with you so that I can ask you how I can purchase your 3m fx or cs sheets? I await your clarification, greetings.
You have to be an authorized dealer to use 3m products but there are many brands out there that you can choose from. Do a little research and see what works best for you. There is plenty of videos on youtube that will help you. Good luck!
Yes absolutely. FXHP20 visible light transmitted (VLT) is 23% where as the CS20 is 19%. CS20 is actually pretty dark we have seen it meter to as low as 13% on a window. Consider FXHP20 more of a traditional 20% where CS20 has more characteristics of a 15% film. Thanks for asking!
A great film for security however not nearly as demanded as the options shown in this video. We still do install that film every now and then upon request, as we are the only 3M "Pro Shops" in illinois we can get any 3M film. Thanks for watching!
I never understood why color stable only has 4 shades and they don't have anything in between from the 20 to 35. The 35 isn't even 35.. it's practically a 40%... I wish they would have done 20%, then a true 30% then bump it up to the 50%. At almost 40% for their 35, it's just too light. The FX series doesn't have a lifetime warranty either which to me makes no sense on even picking it.
We are a 3M Pro Shop - the only 2 stores in illinois! We carry all 3m window film products, however, we can not sell them over the counter. You have to be certified dealer to be able to purchase film from 3m.
Yes 3M does have a ceramic line (CM). We carry the non-metallized nano-carbon lines color stable (CS) and crystalline (CR), which are similar to ceramic.
Our crystalline tint outperforms ceramic tint. This video is also 5 years old. Now 3M has Ceramic IR tint as well. We will make a new video showing that eventually.
Heat reduction is not important because most of the heat transmitted into the car will be through the steel roof and side panels. And once the heat is on the window a long time, you will get conduction heat through the glass anyway. Problem solved by just putting the air conditioning on.
Heat reduction is important to many people especially with medical conditions. If putting an incredibly engineered product, designed by some of the most intelligent people in the industry, on a vehicles windows can better someone's driving experience in any way that benefits their life, it is most certainly a valid reason to purchase it. Heat can be transferred into a vehicle in many ways - the films we sell can put a big halt on heat coming thru the windows. None of these films claim to be the overall solution to heat permeating into the vehicle dealing with hot metal panels etc., however, we know from years of experience that a film such as 3M Crystalline does an incredible job at keeping the interior cool.
Lol silly comment. Must have never been in a vehicle with good quality tint on the windshield to feel the difference. ALOT of heat comes from the windshield & it also damages the dash after a long period of time.
The statistics prove different. The car is metal so the car can still get hot and radiate into the vehicle. As far as heat coming thru the windows it definitely makes a drastic difference.
@@ztechwindowtint thanks but that is nothing more than just ricer talk like adding an intake will get you 20hp. There are two heat waves, short wave from the sun and long wave from Earth....the tint display of blocking heat in all the stores I've been in are is bullshit.
in the 80s there is a 3M tint that we call majic tint...in the morning its dark and at night its super clear
Nice!
They should bring this back
New to the 3M names. So if i wanted CERAMIC which one/ name do i choose???
This is an older video so now they have the 3M CERAMIC IR series you can choose. However the film with the most heat rejection is 3M CRYSTALLINE. We will do an updated video soon!
Can you do an updated video?
You mentioned Illinois where in Illinois are you guys located

Is putting two layers give me more protection or same?
More protection for sure

@@ztechwindowtint, thanks a lot for the tips! I will look for that paint protection film! I hope 3M here have it!
Hello, sir, can you please give me the most appropriate choice of 3M film, thank you
What is appropriate to you?
Dear sir, can you please advise if CR70 will help cutout/polarize oncoming high beam head lights while driving at night?
Due to the fact that it is so light, the glare reduction is minimal. However, it will definitely be better than not having it.
@@ztechwindowtint which film would be appropriate for my purpose then?
@@thebongpianist35 Glare reduction is relative to how dark the film is. The darker it is the more glare it blocks. But be wary of how dark you choose to go for the windshield due to state laws and visibility at night for your safety.
@@ztechwindowtint thanks for the feedback
Hey bro which 3M tint would you recommend that is dark enough for privacy but has clear visibility for night driving

You could also try a 15% but for some they might have a little trouble with night visibility especially if they drive where there is not a lot of lights. Hope this helps!
@@ztechwindowtint thanks and yea it helps big time
3M better than Global tint?
What about IR series?
Ceramic IR wasnt created at the time of this video. We are working on a new updated video to put out!

@Oo oO no, i live in Toronto, lots of shootings here thanks to lack of leadership.
@@henry222ist lol yeah, it’s the lack of leadership...nothing else at all
Is 3M Crystalline 20% almost as dark as 3M FX 5%?
I wouldnt say that dark. Maybe close to a 15 though. Crystalline 20 is a darker 20% than most others
is fx premium better than color sable
Nope. Color stable is an upgraded film made with better materials!
The only reason I want to go with fx premium is because they have 25% which I want to put on windshield and color Sable doesn't have

Hey man have a cts v coupe here I have 5 percent 3m IR all around thinking of doing crystalline 50 percent windshield. Did you do your windshield ?
What are the prices of installing crystalline in a sedan car?
We charge 599.99 for all side windows and back window in crystalline
Crystalline doesn't have 30 right?
I just choose the crystalline
Front 70
Front side 50
Rear side 40
Rear 40
For my dad's car
Actually I prefer 30 for rear side
But the dealer said he didn't have 30
That is correct, Crystalline does not have a 30% option. We hope you enjoy the film! Good choice!
Do you have a Subaru by chance?
anyone know the difference between 3m obsidian and 3m fx premium?
check the 3m website
That’s what I want to know, I feel like fx premium might be a little darker??
Hello, good morning, I am getting in touch with you so that I can ask you how I can purchase your 3m fx or cs sheets? I await your clarification, greetings.
Call either store and we will tint your car for you!
can someone help me and show me how to buy?
I want to start and learn how to tint windows.
You have to be an authorized dealer to use 3m products but there are many brands out there that you can choose from. Do a little research and see what works best for you. There is plenty of videos on youtube that will help you. Good luck!
Is the 20% High performance lighter than the 20% colour stable ?
Yes absolutely. FXHP20 visible light transmitted (VLT) is 23% where as the CS20 is 19%. CS20 is actually pretty dark we have seen it meter to as low as 13% on a window. Consider FXHP20 more of a traditional 20% where CS20 has more characteristics of a 15% film. Thanks for asking!

Is Crystalline for sale to general public?
No you have to be an authorized dealer for any 3M window films
Ztech Of Countryside Thanks
Yes it is. I go somewhere where they have it. It's not cheap though.
I have a new idea to do tinted windows for cars will like to make it happen with big brand company I think is going to be big thing
Perfect

I hear you on the color stable. People either like it or they dont. But FX HP does have a lifetime warranty
Where am I getting cr90 to buy?
Only certified 3M shops are able to carry this film
I got it on eBay
Do you supply 3M film?
We are a 3M Pro Shop - the only 2 stores in illinois! We carry all 3m window film products, however, we can not sell them over the counter. You have to be certified dealer to be able to purchase film from 3m.
Does thicker tint help reduce outside noise?
Sure
No you need acoustic glass for that. Tint might help to some extent but it is still paper thin, so difference might be negligible
3M has ceramic line?
Yes 3M does have a ceramic line (CM). We carry the non-metallized nano-carbon lines color stable (CS) and crystalline (CR), which are similar to ceramic.
Do you have any location near ga
Unfortunately we are only in the chicago area
Your NOT mention types of tint
Example Ceramic Window Tint is best
