[@anthonyibarra7008]

[@joseangelmartinez2038]

That ceramic tint might make a slight difference when driving with the ac on...but if you leave a car parked all day(like at work)regular or ceramic tint won't make a difference being the heat will have reached it peak inside...especially in Texas parked more than 2 hrs no difference

[@Billy123bobzzz]

This is an excellent way to demonstrate the relative difference between tints. It doesn't matter if the heat lamp was an inch further or closer away from the window between the two tests, what matters is the relative difference between the tints. The ceramic tint was ten times better than the conventional tint. That is a massive difference and moving it one inch further or closer away probably only changed it to be 9.99999999999999999 times better, which is just not possible to feel, so effectively this test/demonstration was done properly. Thank you!

[@erickolazaba]

Billy Bob finally someone who gets it

[@TexasTintMasters]

Thank you! I hope this becomes the top comment. I can tell you know your stuff!

[@GiraffeApocalypse]

you would be right except you can see they switch the heat lamp to lower intensity around 1:49 or so... Which I can almost guarantee they did when shining it through the ceramic tint. if it was only the distance it wouldn't be a big difference but its the intensity of the heat coming out of the lamp coupled with the distance.. "I can tell you know your stuff!" Sounds like a typical salesman kissing ass. Hey Texas tint masters how about you make a REAL video showing the actual difference between the tints? show us your using the same settings on the lamp for the same duration of time etc, same distance, etc and stop acting like the people calling your bullshit video are haters???

[@LuisRamirez-ln3cj]

Ceramic tint is expensive, but it really does work. If you're used to driving a car with it, you'll immediately notice a huge difference when you drive or ride in a car that doesn't. And the benefits are two-fold, as it protects your skin and also the interior. The dash and leather on my 2013 Ford Fusion still looks and feels like new. But make sure you get it from a legit shop. Mine came with a lifetime warranty, so if it ever starts to bubble or crack, I get it replaced for free.

[@evildax6815]

@@Ray00069 the real test is 2 ply 5% mirroed tint vs ceramic. I feel like dark mirrored 2 ply tint would win because it reflects heat and the sun instead of absorbing it

[@uneedmorepeople]

You can go with carbon tint as well blocks allot of UV and heat and is little less expensive. I've been using carbon on my vehicles for over five years now

[@EastCoastYoungGun]

I didn’t realize there were so many ceramic tint haters out there. It’s the way to go. Find a good professional shop with good reviews. Professional shops that offer name brand tint often come with warranties. So many ppl just want that cheap ish and they get cheap results. Ceramic tint drastically cut down heat in my car and will be on every car I get from here on out.

[@11onejay]

East Coast Young Gun because it just isnt worth the money. Most people get tint just to keep the glare of the sun out therea no way any tint will literally cook ur car down. I'm 100% fine with my 3m color stable for $165 installed on 5 windows.

[@EastCoastYoungGun]

11onejay It’s worth it to me. It may very well be worth it to others, but not all. I notice the difference and it’s enough of a difference to warrant the extra coin in my opinion.

[@EastCoastYoungGun]

I’ve concluded that it comes down to this; if all ya care about is reducing sun glare and the look of a darker window then I agree that the standard tint is the more valuable option. However if heat is a concern then I highly recommend ceramic tint.

[@Evan-xk3db]

Todd m I’m sort sad that a shop that offered LLUMAR ceramic tint would of cost me $169 versus that 300.. but they told me they couldn’t do my car since it’s over 15 years old their computer doesn’t go that far back. What a bummer. Smh.

That's a weird reason to not do it. If they have good techs, they should be able to hand cut it the way it was done before the Computer-Cut system was invented. Try somewhere else.

I can support this about ceramic tint. Here in Illinois the legal limit is 35% VLT all around. I ended up getting Huper Optik Ceramic 40% VLT just to stay on the safe side of legal. It makes a huge difference. There are days I can just drive with the windows up and only fresh air in the car, no A/C and be comfortable. Combine this with a sunshade for the hottest days while parked and the car stays very nice with just the sunroof cracked.

I called around and seems like none of the interns in my area do ceramic. One even told me he doesn’t do it because it interferes with your cell and radio signals! That was the reason ceramics came about to solve that problem which metal based films had. I have a 2000 BMW 528i (E39) and let me tell you I wish this thing had a UV blocking tint installed before I got it. Every piece of trim in this car snaps and Preakness if you just look at it. If you want to preserve the interior of your car for years to come I’d say tinting with ceramic is a must.

of course its stil gonna get hot, its like being in an oven, eventually it ALL gets hot. the point is that it slows down the rate of heat by blocking a lot of sunlight and 'some' heat as it sits still for short durations. but all in all, they're all gonna eventually get hot, simply the rate/speed of which determined by the tint.

I will look into ceramic for my wife’s van. It also looks like the heat lamp was at a further distance and angle from the ceramic tint compared to how it was positioned for the regular tint.

[@mrblackbond]

Is there anyway to find out if my tint was actually ceramic without having an installer remove it?

[@JZXKenny]

A polarized effect would be a dead giveaway but it's pretty subtle in the right lighting conditions. I also remember wearing a certain type of sunglasses and could see the polarized tint effect from inside and outside the car. Another way is to take a heat lamp on the exterior of the window and have a heat meter on the interior. If its really ceramic then then reading on the heat meter should be significantly less than the heat lamp.

[@mrblackbond]

JZX Kenny dont have a heat lamp however i DO see polarized effect when I’m wearing polarized sunglasses inside my car. You’re saying if i see this effect, then I do in fact have ceramic tint? I paid next to nothing for my mustang to get tinted and other places charged almost 3x that much for ceramic... so i was sure if I had authentic ceramic or not.

[@davidsixside769]

So the only difference between the 2 is internal temperature?

I got window tinted on my 05 f350. The place I took it to, I do a lot of business with them. Before tinting my window, it was definitely hot in the truck during the summer time. When I was talking to them about it, they said ceramic tint would help block some of the heat out but not all (which I understand). I did the 35% up front door windows and 5 on back. and a clear on the windshield. having it during the summer, frankly I'm not sure what they put on. Sure doesn't feel like its ceramic because it feels like its even hotter in the truck. I can feel most of the heat coming off of the window. I do have a some what of a dark truck. Its a greyish color on the exterior, and tan on the interior. I touch the headliner thinking most of the heat might be coming from there, but its not burning hot. It might sound like I got screwed. I wish you guys are closer to the DFW area. would like to test to see if I did got screwed or not.

[@TexasTintMasters]

Hmm, that's not good. The glass will get hot no matter what but the difference is in the heat TRANSMITTED through. Once your inside and your A/C is on, you shouldn't feel the heat coming through and your truck should cool down quickly (if your A/C works good). Especially if you tinted your windshield, the cold air should preserve more if it is indeed Ceramic Tint. You'd be surprised how many shops that carry Ceramic tint are not equipped with the proper gear to prove to the customer they installed Ceramic. Next time you're in the market for it, ask a shop if they can prove it's Ceramic once it's installed. If they can't, look elsewhere. Most of our top reviews came from our Ceramic customers. The real thing makes a huge difference.

[@TexasTintMasters]

Main thing, make sure your A/C is working well too. The cooling unit is just as important as the Ceramic Tint on your glass. The tint drastically REDUCES the heat coming through the glass while the A/C is what COUNTERS the heat. Both are necessary for a cool cab. 👍

My a/c does blow extremely cold air. it takes awhile to feel the cold air due to when the truck sit out in the sun for a long period of time, it gets extremely hot. even with my "ceramic tint" i have. but I can sill feel some heat transfer coming from the window. I don't know if the material of the glass makes a difference for example, I also have a 2010 f150, never done tint and when it sit out in the sun as well for a long period of time, you can still get in it and its not terribly hot. So that is another thing is that wonder the material and from the manufacturer if they were able to make something better to cut the heat than an older vehicle. Before watching this video, I went to another place where they do window tinting and also have ceramic tint. they had a tester where part of the glass is no tint and the other half is the ceramic tint. Now keep in mind, when I saw the test, the glass was quite thick compare to what you see on an automotive. to my guess around 3/16" to maybe 1/4" thick. when I stuck my hand in the tester, I can feel the hot lamp, when they slid the glass over with the tint, the heat reduce dramatically. But i'm not sure if it was the thickness of the glass and the tint or just the tint itself. also, I saw another video of you tinting an audi and when you were tinting the windshield, it looks like you were putting a film on the outside. so do you sandwich the tint on the windshield to help reduce the heat?

@@jasonman1515 jasonman1515 For demos, shops use a thick glass to prevent it from cracking when doing the heat lamp demo. On the Audi: Everything with the tint gets done on the outside, the shrinking/molding and prep. The actual install goes on the inside of the glass. Even if the glass is a bit different you shouldn't feel much heat coming through with Ceramic Tint. For example, our Clear Ceramic reduces 65% of heat and the darkest (limo) reduces 89%. Try contacting them and let them know what's going on. Ask if they can show/prove to you that it's Ceramic on your glass. Let me know how it goes, genuinely interested.

[@jasonman1515]

One last thing. Which ceramic material do you use particularly? the tint on my window has a sticker from a brand called LLumar.

[@michaelrobinson9643]

of course the stable heat that car reaches will be the same. Tint doesn't impact that. Radiated heat exposure when in the car you can change.

[@TexasTintMasters]

Good point! I've noticed it takes longer for it to get to peak temperature especially if the car is coming off a cooled cab when it's tinted. But you just hit on one of the biggest misconceptions people have about ceramic tint-that it prevents your car from getting hot when it sits out alone in the sun for hours. When there is nothing to combat the heat, it is STILL going to get hot. It's only until someone gets in and turns on the A/C will the cab cool down. In this case Ceramic Tint acts as a barrier between the solar heat outside and A/C cooled inside preserving the cooler interior temps.

@@TexasTintMasters so, if someone uses propane instead of freon in their ac, AND gets ceramic tint....you get to roll like a polar bear?

Great info! Thank you for sharing

[@girl600podcast]

After installing on the windshield - will it cause an issue for cellphone suction mounted brackets. My 📱 iPhone dashcam overheats. Or should I get a ceramic strip only?

[@TexasTintMasters]

Get the entire windshield-your best bet. It doesn't affect receptions or suction cups. This would be an interesting experiment to test your dashcam over heating before and after installing the tint. You should record & upload and let us know your results!

How can I tell if I actually have ceramic tint and not regular tint? I have not way to contrast the temp in the car now vs. what it was before the tint. Is there a simple way a novice without the special heat indicating film can do to test for ceramic tint? (Just checking up on my installer)

[@Aragon714]

What is your take on LLumar CTX from a scale of 1 to 10 what would you rate it, im in california got the Ctx 5% on my 5 windows on my 2018 civic sedan 2 weeks ago was that a good choice for the heat or did i mess up?...

[@girl600podcast]

Now I know. Super informative.

[@bobhunter3086]

thanks for this A/B. I'm gonna have my Cadillac done with ceramic tint.

[@porkchopspapi5757]

Oh, well I'm going to have my skyscraper in Manhattan done.

[@noyb154]

Seems like you should be holding the light at the same distance, since the fall-off is exponential.

[@TexasTintMasters]

Yes, we've addressed this and redone the test in our other videos on KZbin & Instagram.

[@sashabowman204]

Which is better at blocking the sun's blinding glare - dark tint film or polarized window film and can the two be used together?

[@ferhdz1738]

Hi What’s your opinion about tinting moonroofs?

[@2breality]

2018 camery SE 2B Tinted 9/7/18. What Percentage would you go with? currently w/ @ 20%.

[@IntoTheLightAstrology]

On my last 2 cars with ceramic tint, when wearing polarized sunglasses it wacked out the colors outside, white cars looked pink, and flowers were psychedelic. With my current ceramic tint that's not happening. Is this a sign that I didn't get ceramic, or could it be a different type?

[@jorgerivera8933]
