$100 Carbon Tint vs $300 // Carbon Window Tint Review @ Detroit Tint Studio

[@HenntuPhotography]

Thanks for comparisons at your cost for us all!

[@vitalyrozhnev8083]

I've been doing window tinting for a long time. 2 years ago I tried lexen. a year ago geoshield. my favorite Lexen. lexen has cheaper and more expensive lines, but for some reason they always compare cheap ones. and I'll tell you that lexen is in the same line with brands such as llumar xpel and 3M

[@discipleofchrist5217]

I agree I've been us8ng lexan Nano Carbon & Nano Ceramic films in my business & have not had 1 complaint in over 5 years. And in the nano carbon there isn't any real low angel haze it's only in this cheaper carbon lexan film that he used.

[@lilchiefz2932]

@@discipleofchrist5217 do you recommend puremax supreme carbon ? its going to be the first 100' roll of tint i buy

[@oddsman01]

That’s probably because there’s only a handful of manufactures who supply all the name brands.

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

great review, Matt! I personally like the color view of the grass through the Geoshield C2. Lexen wasn't too bad, but I did see the haze you were talking about and that was probably what cause the grass to look a lighter green than when you looked at it through the Geoshield. Watching your videos has pretty much sold me on wanting to use Geoshield, even before watching this, so this review only reinforced what I was already leaning towards! Thanks for the comparison review, Matt!

[@duprimewanu2071]

Please use the lexen puremax which is the high quality carbon film to compare with geoshield

[@deucebigalo6650]

The sacrifice is appreciated.

[@ChakravarthyGarlapati]

I brought the lexen supreme carbon today, will try it on my car using suggestions from your previous videos. You are best.

[@ChrisProvazek]

Very good video dude, learned something new! Love your "studio" theme with the 80s vibe colors!

[@DetroitTintStudio]

thanks man!! yea it was greatly inspired by all the gaming rgb and that old school neon

[@adambev9548]

@Tintstuff What would you choose between.... Carbon for $220 or Ceramic for $400? Purely for aesthetics. I’m in Canada and my car is always in a parkade so heat reduction doesn’t matter.

[@DetroitTintStudio]

on the outside they will look identical, look at a sample of both films tho because on the inside you will see a slight difference in hue but probably not enough to come near justifying a price difference. heat rejection is really the only benefit

[@adambev9548]

TintStuff good to know! Thanks man

[@chrisrstt]

the lexen max carbon isn't optical grade, using pure max would have given better results

[@BradWithAnM]

I will always, always only use geoshield. Great company and excellent tint.

[@robertschulze8680]

Can you do a comparison with lexen Purmax Carbon? Purmax is suppose to remove the haze.

[@christiangarcia6655]

What about every ceramic pro nano?

[@nikolaykondratiev3925]

How much does it cost to tint a car with front windows?

[@khodzz69]

Don’t forget quality of film can also depend on how long it stays on a car, for example cheaper film might deteriorate much quicker than expensive film will.

[@DetroitTintStudio]

💯 that's always a huge concern. i wanted this video to be about a day 1 side by side comparison. if you are a customer and someone tinted your car. what's the biggest initial differences between these films

[@thatslegit]

saving 2/3rds of your money sounds good on paper but longevity will be the main factor, maybe if you sit with it for one hot summer and see the difference in winter will be the true showdown

[@lalomartinez9573]

Review Lexen’s better quality nano carbon film , I’d like to see a rematch or review cheaper lexen tint vs. Lexen’s higher quality!!! They state their nano carbon film has no haze

[@patfranks785]

To be fair, is that going to make a difference the relative short time you are in your car. Now, if you are doing the windshield use Geo.

[@ccep9]

Can you do an updated video on brands if possible? Curious on cheetahtint especially. Haven’t seen any reviews

[@innovativeintelligence4172]

The Lexen will be good for the budget I paid, Happy to try my first nano carbon! Do you think I made a mistake going Lexen budget carbon over regular 20 dollar Ebay pre cuts?

[@chrisrstt]

no, i use lexen puremax

[@frodcoma973]

For someone who’s gonna start in the business, which brands can you recommend me to use to being able to give low prices but also I want to give a good product, please help 🙏🏼

[@fel1xxpubg972]

Trust me when i tell you, nobody and i mean nobody will ever notice the difference. The only people that might admire the tint will be guys not girls 😂 I have literally tinted my cousins car for free with two $10 window tint from walmart 😂 and people would never notice the difference, he even gets complemented on how good it looks 😂 and i did it seeing youtube for the first time 😂

[@mathiasgiomi8034]

ok Fel1Xx PUBG

[@deeshnutsh]

It's clear you have no experience with tint lol

[@beastmode3370]

3m crystalline tint is a life saver when it comes to heat in summer and keepimg heat in doing winter time. Yes its expensive and I thought it was over rated for the price but when I got my 2020 ford I wanted to protect the leather and keep heat out. When I got it I sat in the sun 🌞 and didn't feel no heat at all didnt even use AC 🙃.... in some things you pay for what you get and tint is one of them.

[@mustangdemon87]

There is only 5 degrees difference between crystalline and lexen koolmax. Atleast in the mohave desert sun mid summer.

[@VICXIETY]

idk slight haze and $200 difference thanks for the video

[@spydergs07]

Could you do a review on the newer Lexen Ceramic?

[@timmyl2005]

I don’t know that I would say beautiful top edge it doesn’t look very good but let’s see what the video holds

[@shawn1869]

Does all ceramic tint have some haze to it? I notice a slight haze ever so slightly and it kind of bugs me

[@cwhitaker6966]

Congrats on 8+ years on YT 👌

[@T_733]

Got lexen 5% all around 20% all front works great

[@sosatintz]

Have you ever done Protec window tint ? I need to know if it’s good or not

[@vijaychauhan9613]

Whats exactly the difference between carbon tint vs nano carbon window tint??? Plz suggest

[@KENI.07]

Great comparison) can you do the same with santek carbon? Thank you

[@mustangdemon87]

I used to be a suntek dealer. I only use lexen for budget films now. An geotec for high end. Customer never noticed the difference.

[@xbetonatorx1834]

So what material is better GeoShield or Llumar??

[@WTS-XX]

I hate and disappointed with my geoshield pro nano.. it has a hint of brown looking out.

[@williamgraham7581]

Do a heat shrink comparrison .. Lexen is hard to shrink !

[@michaelmalave3134]

C2 is super easy

[@carlosgaritajr7154]

I just had one question am from Detroit and i wanted to know what size of roll film do you buy am starting to tint and am doing all my friends and families cars

[@DetroitTintStudio]

awesome man, good luck! 36" fits most everything but it helps to have 20" rolls also for most truck windows. flip the 36" sideways for f150s

[@carlosgaritajr7154]

TintStuff no thank you very much i appreciate it !!

[@macpherson162]

I wonder if Lexen is the same as SolarFree. They both have that low angle haze. Have you reviewed SolarFX? We love that film at my shop.

[@DetroitTintStudio]

I'm not sure but I know a ton of carbon films come from South Korea or China so a lot are pretty similar.

[@DetroitTintStudio]

I haven't used solar fx but I hear nothing but good things about it from many many people so I'm sure you are golden with it!

[@frankramirez2206]

SolarFX does not have a carbon film, their carbon fx series is a color stable deep dyed film. The series name is a bit misleading, their films are high quality nonetheless. SolarFX is manufactured by Garware which also makes Xpel and Global.

[@michaelmalave3134]

@@frankramirez2206and Geoshield as well. If I am not mistaken

[@avinjemison7148]

I wish you would make a video of you tinting glass in chrome. just to see what it would look like

[@DetroitTintStudio]

I'd like to do that crazy neo chrome tint, would make a killer thumbnail lol not sure about the title

[@avinjemison7148]

TintStuff maybe “RAINBOW TINT!?!?” because I mean everyone click baits but it’s not a lie. Anyways maybe one day you can make a video on tinting an 07-13 crew cab Silverado bc the back doors on the outside have a plastic curved panel.

[@anthonyrincon5514]

Does anybody have any experience with express window film? I debating between lexen and express. How do they compare to each other as they seem to be price relatively the same.

[@markmoyer9826]

Great video, I've watched a bunch of your videos and wondered if you ever tried Tint Club carbon. I'd love to see a comparison between the 3 considering Tint Club carbon comes right between these two in price point at $209 for a 40x100

[@DetroitTintStudio]

thanks man! never tried the stuff but there are a ton of inbetween options I've seen. the haze may be a little less than lexen but this c2 film I carry is a brand new improvement to carbon films. split that roll cost among 8 full cars and the price point is spitting hairs on anything inbetween so u might was well get the best.

[@markmoyer9826]

@@DetroitTintStudio thanks dude, I'm going to use to look into it. Keep up the great video's. I've been in the business over 20 years and still learn cool tricks from you

[@donaldnoble4325]

What about true line?

[@ThomasCash-w7p]

I get the part that geoshield is a better more expensive film, lexen / tint x isn't a bad film it's it's just not the film that Detroit studios wants to use for his type customer base.. That's 100% fine but for the video it's kinda bias like you said from the git go cause you are already using the film for you company the second part is that you cut the film in half and left the half of the geoshield that's already baked on the window and did a retint with the lexen which will have some more has from it still drying unless you showed it like 2 maybe 3 days later... Everyone has there type of film they like for their business and can be bias to other brands cause of the fact they like what they like don't get me wrongnim the same way with car audio I love dd audio and was bias to sundown audio but sundown have a wonderful product and is competitive my point is the type of business base your are building the price your wanting to charge reflects your tint you would charge 600 for a lexen as you would for your geoshield unless you gonna make a 89% or more profit.

[@jeffhorstman7896]

llumar ok?

[@jerseyrolla6479]

Any idea if the lexen turns purple or anything???

I have in y car for 5 years still same color

I like all your videos l jus installed rayno s9 nano ceramic and looks clear from inside to outside the total solar energy rejected l think it's the best the color it's blushy what do you think?

[@davidc2023]

Hey man where did you get the Rayno nano ceramic? Do you buy the entire roll film?

[@josecastaneda-fl8hg]

@@davidc2023 l bought half roll on Santa Fe spring in California the roll 40'' x 100' cost 570 easy to shrink here in California many tint shops are using l just tint cars on weekends in my garage they also have a regular film for 220 roll same zise

[@brandonblack1722]

So what color is the lexen film is it the charcoal color or tan colored or what?

[@DetroitTintStudio]

honestly not really a color, it's just darker which I'm surprised I don't really see very often

[@brandonblack1722]

TintStuff hmm interesting, I’m about to order 2 rolls

[@nomoreinfo3096]

Thank you!

[@luthersolis4970]

What keeps the heat out more? Carbon or ceramic? Or are they the same?

[@DetroitTintStudio]

Ceramic does but a lot of ceramics on the market add carbon too so I'm going to have to do a follow up with a popular budget ceramic vs a better ceramic 🙂

[@luthersolis4970]

TintStuff I also tint and I seen a lot of your tools come off tint depot. Is there tint good to use for cars?

[@slayz1515]

Xpel film is the best ceramic film on the market. If you decide to do a comparison vid you need to use xpel xr plus. It is almost 90% heat rejection and by far our best selling(we only carry xpel ppf and tint btw).

[@luthersolis4970]

Slayz z where can I get that?

[@factsoverfeelings21]

Should have just put the blade low and rolled the window up.

and any professional tinter knows it whats the film looks like in a year or 2 when it turns purple and bubbles. You cant tell the difference at first installation. lol. Are you really a professional?

huh? You are a professional tinter. And you are bragging about the top edge being nice? lol And alot of time spent on it? A pro can tint that window perfect in about 15 minutes.
