took my bmw here few weeks back, 5% on back & rear - 30% on driver sides full ceramic. couldn’t be more impressed with the work Carlos did to my vehicle, will be coming back to get my windshield tinted!
Those of you asking for brand...use Huper Optik 100% ceramic tint. Got my entire Audi A4 done with 35 on windshield, 15 on sides, and 5 on the back. It's amazing quality and you wont even know what the temp is outside.
You probably dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me atm then you can watch all the latest series on instaflixxer. Been watching with my gf for the last months =)
I live in Phoenix. I just got all my windows tinted Ceramic except the windshield since the shop didn't have clear. It turns out 70% is the lightest I can find for windshield Ceramic. You definitely convinced me. Thank you. I'll give you guys an update in 2 days.
@@majestic_G6 yeah but to get the old stickers off every year at inspection time they have to use a razor blade scraper to do that which would wreck your tint job.

@@jamesg8246 ... You can use the sticker shield that Dustin recommended but I dont know how reusable it is for a new inspection sticker. You may have to buy a new sticker shield each time..

The other alternative maybe to use a mobile phone screen protector on the windshield, and then stick the inspection sticker to the screen protector.

@@mpcp27 Yeah that's a good idea.

Is the tint for the front windshield completely clear? How's the visibility at night out of the front? I heard some films aren't totally clear and cause light to go in different directions.
We got you bro! We get people from Dallas, Austin, San Antonio but never that far. So if you ever come done I'll be sure to treat you to that southern hospitality.
I would be honored, i will make sure to notify you guys before hand thank you, been sprending the word about you guys over here, quality like yalls isnt even heard of in this state!
You guys should check out Wincos IR window film and try your heat lamp BTU test. It's beat every ceramic I've ever tested it against including Huper Optik , LLumar Pinnacle, Avery Dennison nano ceramic.

How much is the average price to do a Silverado crew cab with ceramic tint? Windshield and all. I would love to be able to take my ride to you but I live in the Dallas Fort Worth area. I don’t want to get ripped off lol
Ceramic is better in every category other than darkness. Charcoal makes the tint darker than ceramic. Ceramic is still pretty dark though if you go low enough. I have 15% on my car all around and its pitch black looking inside of the car from the outside in the daytime. But if im on the inside looking out, it looks somewhat light. Because of that it doesn't affect my vision driving at night. 15% with charcoal is like trying to look through a wall at night especially if you have electronics in the car that are always on and bright
Question, if I take my car to get tinted and I ask for Ceramic, how do I tell if it’s ceramic or not? I know there’s a lot of shady shops out there so I don’t want to rip off. I don’t want them to pay for Ceramic tint and have them put the cheap tint. Hopefully someone can answer my question. Thank you.
Unfortunately, one of the only things you can do is to ask them to show you a heat test before and after. If they're properly equipped, they should have the meter you see here or something like it. Use reviews to guide your choice of shop.
It it legal to tint whole windshield? I do wish to do so, but am concerned about getting pulled over. My purpose is merely to make cabin cooler in summer, no need to add privacy
No one answered you because it is illegal. If you get stopped by the Highway Patrol they will give you a fix it ticket to have it removed. They use to let other departments sign off those tickets, but when they found out their homies were deputies or city cops would just sign them and said fuck it leave it on. state troopers now make you come to them after you remove the tint. Think first fine was $225 and increases each time your caught. CHP really don’t care about the sides it’s the windshield that will get you fanged 100%
Let's try a test out in the Texas sun on a 100 degree day, sun shining with no clouds. Do half the car straight down the middle, front to rear. Let it set a hour outside, windshield facing the sun all windows up. Now put a temp gun on both sides at the same time... let's see what you got. My guess is they are exactly the same. I might give you a 5 % difference for errors...
& you would be right. Window film is NOT an air conditioning unit, it’s an insulator to help your A/C perform more efficiently. Any vehicle sitting in the sun for an hour on 100 degree Fahrenheit weather with all windows up will ALWAYS get hot (reach point of thermal equilibrium). Cargo vans have no windows but no one assumes it’s immune to heat. Ceramic film DRASTICALLY slows down the transmission of heat. Performing the test you are proposing is the equivalent of rolling the windows down on half of the car and dumping in the ocean to test if only half the car will drown.
FALSE. "Some UV rays can also pass through windows. Typical car, home, and office windows block most UVB rays but a smaller portion of UVA rays, so even if you don’t feel you’re getting burned your skin may still get some damage. Tinted windows help block more UVA rays, but this depends on the type of tinting. (If you do have your car windows tinted, check local laws, as some states regulate this.) UV radiation that comes through windows probably doesn’t pose a great risk to most people unless they spend long periods of time close to a window that gets direct sunlight." -American Cancer Society www.cancer.org/cancer/skin-cancer/prevention-and-early-detection/uv-protection.html

Ceramic tint in clear/ light right? I want a tint that is dark to see through but still keeps heat out, which one is that?
NOT LEGAL AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVER
What's the difference between Ceramic and 3M Crystaline?
Llumar is a good film brand. 3M is not ceramic
Huper Optik is the Best / German technology
Couldn’t find the song on soundcloud. Any chance you can drop me a link?

I don't know i put 3m ceramic ir on my windshield yesterday, my dashboard is still hot to the touch.

@@TexasTintMasters, well when i touched the dashboard it felt hot. Car was facing the sun.

Awesome video
I live in Seattle Washington, would it even be beneficial here to have ceramic tint? There is a lot of rain and clouds with about 2-3 months of sun.
pee cee I used to live there the answer is no, regular tint will be just fine and save you a ton of money. During the summer it heats up tho
Does ceramic tint come in different shade %? What % was used on the side windows here?
Yes there's a lot of different shades. This car had 70 on the windshield, 30 on the two front, 5 on all the rear.
@Gustavo Lopezcadena I've not come across a legitimate ceramic film in 2.5% as of yet.

Okay I'm confused. So this tint is applied to the interior and exterior??
Only on the inside. They place it on the outside first to get the cut size. Then transfer the tint inside

If you leave your car for more than 20 min under the sun, it all comes to the same temp inside.
SW not in 20 minutes but in 40 or so it’ll reach ambient + but no tint will have a much hotter dashboard, seats etc. it also cools off way faster
