Is Ceramic Window Tint Worth The Extra Cost?

- A window tint update video. I cover the 3M Ceramic IR Series and compare it to the Color Stable in this non-scientific test.
I realize this isn’t a completely accurate way to measure, however. The heat on the door cards was pretty obvious which tint rejected heat more.

Dude has over 200k in cars and asks the question is the cost of Tint worth it.😂 very good video and good job winning at life.
I'd say 20% in Southern states is reasonable. (though with 35% ceramic tint, you'll get better heat reduction than normal 20% tint). But in Northern states, you are much better off getting 35% tint. You don't have as much sun, and its not as strong. Secondly, really dark tint can be a cop magnet. I've had 35% tint on my 2004 Solara and 2006 ES350 for years, and never had any issues with cops. But they look sharp, and the bonus is that I can see outside at night, no impairment in night vision, or seeing my side mirrors.
Another way to measure out the temp in the interior is just to do a temperature probe set up on the center armrest. That way you can see what the interior air feels like versus just the seats.
Ohio requires 50% visible light transmission on both of the front windows. Darker looks great, but cops wouldn't like the darker 20% VLT on front windows.
Just got my windows tinted a month ago. Believe the hype, I was skeptical until I rode in a friends car with ceramic tint. It makes for a much more comfortable ride and it.
Those ceramic tints are definitely the most reliable parts of those bimmers.
So on your M5 you put 15% tint all the way around and you put it ontop of the stock tint?
Haha 😂 visible bird flipping should be considered when deciding on tint- how you know you are a tool.
I’m thinking about getting the same percentages on my Escalade that you have in your X5M. I believe my Escalade has factory 20% on the rears. I just want to confirm that you added 15% ceramic over the 20% factory tint on the rear windows and back glass? Also how much noticeable is it driving at night with 15% all around and 70% windshield compared to when it was stock?
have you had any issues with the BMW? The bmw's you got in america isnt the same built quality as european once who is built only in germany
I live in Texas and just got driver & passenger window ceramic tint for my camaro about 3 weeks ago, the back and corner are regular tinted, windshield leave untouched but use the windshield covered instead because I was a little skeptical about ceramic price and if it is worth it compared to regular tint.
Thanks for the video, bud. This is pretty much the exact type of video and information I was looking for . The different car types, the tint type and %, even considering the interior color, tinting over factory, windshield info... everything.
Awesome video thank you for all your info about tint percentage I might consider either 20% or 15% most likely 20 to be safe
Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!! Beautiful vehicles and clean examples
Awesome video, so much helpful to me, especially when it comes to decide whether and how to tint my stock tinted rear windows, many thanks on showing your case and for a detailed comments and insights!
Thank you for this very detailed overview. Definitely want to tint my front windshield but couldn't decided on which type and what percentage to get. You definitely just helped me a lot so thanks!
Wow...That was a phenomenal video. This was exactly what I was looking for before I get my Lexus ceramic tint installed. Thanks so much for posting this video.
I swear you have a video for everything I want done!! 🙌 I may go with the 20% for my X6, same color as your X5M but black interior. This FL ☀️ is no joke and I don’t want to ruin the interior! Thanks for the video and all the details!
Good video comparison, Edward! I just had my X5m tinted yesterday. Went with Xpel XR plus. I prefer a lighter “smoked” look so went with 30% on front sides, 70% on WS, and 55% over the rear stock privacy glass. I almost went F1 stratos but didn’t like the slight bluish hue for the WS, since my car is black. On your M3 it looks great!
Best tint explanation video ever. Thanks man!
