Can Ceramic Window Tint Keep Your Car Cooler? + Minimize Window Tint Tickets

[@g.dubyou6263]

Had Xpel Prime XR Plus on my CTR. Went back to Formula One Stratos on my 22 M4X, no specific reason. I had Stratos on 4 other cars, I didn’t feel a huge difference between the XR Plus and Stratos. Didn’t have PPF on the CTR, but went with full STek on the whole car on the M4. Highly recommend XR Plus. Good to see other shops installing XR. I may go back to it, next time.

Love the information and detail in these videos. Getting my car tinted soon myself. I will say though that any tint is legal on the rear passenger & rear windows of vehicles in California. The front two windows “legally” should only have a 70% tint & the windshield shouldn’t have any except for 4” from the top. That said, I’m getting 15% on my front windows after watching your videos… I’ll take my chances. 😂

[@eddiemcars]

Good deal! I think it gives officers a reason to pull you but they typically don’t. I’ve had more trouble with window tint living in Ohio than California.

[@juniorr2646]

Hell yeah

[@mongop177]

Getting ready to get my Honda Accord EX-L done tomorrow. Only going with the XR ceramic. Probably going with 30% all around including bar across front windshield. Good advice on traffic stops too.👍

[@absalomrogers4310]

Excellent video with plenty of info.. just what i needed for my search on ceramic tint! New sub here!

[@jeromio_peezy6822]

I had 70% on my windshield but over time it felt like a waste of money. It cut out some heat but there was still lots of glare from the sun and oncoming headlights. If I were you, I'd go back and redo the windshield to 50% like me. I have ZERO regrets. It's noticeably darker to see out of both day and night but you get used to it in a few days. I love it because it really cuts down the glare of oncoming headlights at night, especially annoying LED headlights that beam right at your eyes. Its not too dark, I can still see my passenger and driver seats from the outside looking in through the windshield, although with a more smoked look rather than clear. My set up is 5% on the 3 back windows, 18% on the front 2 windows, and 50% on windshield (although my windshield actually metered at 45% with a meter)

[@jl-zz9zs]

It’s about cutting out the heat if you are using better tint.

[@JoeGoldberg577_]

XR plus is definitely worth the money! I didn’t want to but man it’s expensive but worth it

[@1337Frederick]

After two years how has it held up? I am thinking of getting the exact same thing on my Mercedes.

[@Michigan_Fan]

Looks Perfect! Will have to find an XPel installer in Texas for my X5.

[@lloydhendricks5370]

Did you find one? I just got mine done in Houston at Tint Masters.

Thanks for this video I have 2022 Nissan murano with black leather interior gonna do 70 percent windshield, maybe 35 or 30 on front sides

[@shawn1869]

Which film do you like the best? Seems you have experienced all the brands and I'm wondering which one you'd go with for best results? Thanks 🙏

[@killaclownz911]

Awesome video, super informative too!

How much should I wait until can was my car?

[@shawn1869]

Is there any haziness to it?

[@jesselenix]

Getting my accord sport SE done next Monday, great video bro! Getting the XR plus as well and I’ve been looking for videos for more info on these tints. So far, everyone I asked or each person in each vid swears by this so I’m excited! I’m thinking of going 20% all around but I’m concerned about the windshield being too dark!

[@eddiemcars]

You won’t regret the Xpel!

[@rinati75]

What did you end up getting?

[@jesselenix]

@@rinati75 I ended up getting the high end tint, worth every dollar. I got 5% all around and 15% in my windshield

[@boricuajr84]

@@jesselenix how can you see well driving at night? sheesh

[@jesselenix]

@@boricuajr84 lol it’s actually not bad at all the quality of this tint is amazing, it doesn’t look like there’s tint from the inside

[@IslandDigital]

Your thoughts on XR vs 3M Crystalline ?? Before I get it done , I’d love to know. Thanks. Also when sitting in a lot, does this help protect the dashboard from UV fade ?

[@eddiemcars]

I don’t have any experience with Crystalline but I heard it’s a good film. Both films would prevent fading as that block out harmful UV rays.

[@tomdurkins]

If the glass on the outside is 150 degrees to touch the glass on the inside is 150 degrees to touch. Right? I love this tint but let’s be realistic.

[@PressurePlayerStudio]

if your oven is 450, why is the oven glass not 450....

[@tomdurkins]

@@PressurePlayerStudio Double or triple pane glass with a vacuum or gas between panes. But you have a point. If it was single pane like cars it would be 450.

[@jkinze]

Looks like a great job! Go stealth!

[@synaptik111]

Thanks for this - very informative! What color is that? I'm looking for that exact color or something close like PTS Voodoo Blue.

[@eddiemcars]

You’re welcome! The color of the Civic is Boost Blue Pearl

[@willdamian1066]

How does this compare to Rayno s9?

[@costantineyoussif6679]

very nice review, i still can't really decide which film is to go with which film it has better quality and better overall performance xpel xr plus or llumar formula one pinnacle ? any recommendation

[@eddiemcars]

You can’t go wrong with either one of those. I would see what your desired darkness you want and see if they off it. With Xpel, I had to choose 30% or 15% for the XR Plus

[@costantineyoussif6679]

@@eddiemcars which tint brand have more blackish/charcoal color from every angle ? Because what makes me change my mind ok lumar startos 70% front windshield is kinda bluish hue to it not like the Xpel am I correct ? Or both have same color tint ?? Thanks again

[@NikhilNaik22N]

Would you recommend the XR prime black or the llumar ctx?

[@geefim2144]

Which one would you recommend that’s really clear and not hazy. Prefer a grey to clack color rather than brown/ blueish. Going 35 % with black interior

[@eddiemcars]

3M IR series is going to be more grey/charcoal and Xpel XR+ has a bluish color to it, but XR would be grey

[@verynick]

Just had Suntek CXP carbon 45 all around and it’s clear with no haze

[@Optimization_Coach]

So is the XR PLUS installed inside and outside of the window? Thanks

[@eddiemcars]

All window tint is installed inside the window. You may see installers placing the film outside the window but that’s solely for the shaping/sizing process.

[@Optimization_Coach]

@eddiemcars ahhhhh ok ..thought I was going crazy! Thanks for that!

[@kennyli5838]

If I have something glued/adhesive on the windshield like a dash cam, how would they apply the tint on the inside

[@eddiemcars]

You’ll have to remove it and reapply after the tint is installed.

[@chubbylove16]

Do they have location in Florida

[@eddiemcars]

I don’t think they do. I’m sure you can find an Xpel dealer in your area though.

[@mikeh4858]

I know my local tint shop uses this film. Currently getting it on my SI. I’m sure you could call the local shops and ask what brand they use.

[@S_Paoli]

UVA rejection... I'm always said whenever I hear that mentioned... :( (because when I was young, I applied to UVA and was rejected) :(

[@honestlygio7830]

Thumbs down because the video did not show in IR reading inside of an actual car. It just used the store demo, which could always be rigged.

[@atSlickBoiChris]

I put 30 on my windshield and 5 everywhere else. I’ll take my chances with the police

[@eddiemcars]

Wow! That’s risky! I’m sure you’ll have a lot of privacy!
