Comparing Window Tint! 30% vs 15% vs 5%

[@busa89]

5% looks good on a sunny day but you can’t see shit at night. I’ve personally found 15% to be a much better balance of privacy and visibility.

Cool video, I have 15 on all my vehicles but thinking about 5% for my next Explorer... one thing I’ll suggest is doing the same video except in outdoor and sunny conditions.. if people haven’t had tint before I think many would be surprised at how much more light and transparent the windows are outside during the day... with this video 30% actually looks pretty dark but 30% basically has zero privacy during the day..

[@saintpetersburg5818]

30% has enough privacy to allow you to pick your nose without having people three cars away pointing giggle. What are you doing in your car that needs 5% tint? It doesn't matter, it's my car.

Yeah, I just got 15% all around, and 50% on the windshield (all XPEL Ceramic) yesterday and I've been kind of disappointed bc it's not nearly as dark as I was expecting. Definitely going to have to go down to 5% and 35% shield next time. Shame tho, going to stick with this for a while since it was $650

[@brodi81]

30% all day for me. I had 5% and was pulled over by cops and searched on the reg. As an adult in their 40's it gets really old really fast. A little bit of tint vs a lot of tint goes a long ways.

[@bigfirepop]

I mix. 50 front windshield. 15 sides/doors. 30 back windshield. Works perfectly. Might drop to 15 on back windshield.. might be too dark at night. One thing everyone forgets to mention is privacy inside the vehicle is increased when covering ALL windows with tint. If you leave say just the front windshield at stock then it’s way easier to see inside the car even from the other tinted windows, whereas if the front is also tinted then it’s much more difficult to see in even with only 15 or 30% tints

[@broderp]

I agree I had 15% and it was dark enough. In the city where you have plenty of street lights you might be able to see at night without rolling down the windows, But in the country ain't no street lights. I had to roll down my windows to see. So I say yes to 15% its plenty dark. Can't imagine trying to drive at night with 5%. Also I was never stopped for my tint, in South Carolina.

[@braddjohnson4255]

From South Carolina also getting tinted 15% at the moment ,good to know that sc doesn’t really pester you about tint

[@denvera1g1]

Its very hard to do this comparison with a gopro/cellphone style camera because they often dont allow for manual shutter, ISO and aperture, The camera automatically adjust with the lower light levels making it look as if the same/similar amount of light is being let in. You do a great job of working around this problem by having the driver side window, and the un tinted windshield in the same frame, and with the 5% tint you can see the camera struggling to set exposure for both the 5% and the 100%

[@haliaeetus8221]

this

[@Dreadlk]

Liked the video but you made one critical mistake. You had the camera set to Automatic, so it adjusted the aperture to compensate for the light changes. As you watch the 5% demo it is clearly demonstrated that the camera is keeping the final video at the same brightness. I wish you would do this over with the camera in full manual mode so that we can actually see how dark it really is.

[@LUIXX71711]

I have a 5% tint in the back of my car, its pretty damn dark, barely drivable in the night and its only on the back.

[@WindowTintingBusiness]

yeah I tried to compensate for that by showing the difference in light between the nontinted front windshield and the tinted door window. I did try and just set the light adjustment but when I get in the car with 5% you literally couldn't see me, its not that dark in real life so I figured the auto light adjust was the best route for the video.

[@PatriarchalPatrick]

@@WindowTintingBusiness I just saw this video, I'm VERY thankful for the tint comparison as I'm getting ready to get my front windows tinted. I unfortunately just tried to do a 30% and it failed due to my lack of experience, none the less this is a great comparison but I think for you to get the best effect possible so people can see a side by side comparison you may want to tint one window with all 3 tints then the camera won't be able to compensate for all of them. You'd have to do it on a vehicle obviously so that you can show the inside and outside view, none the less I am thankful for the comparison.

[@joapps8135]

i will cut thru all the BS -ceramic is the highest performing tint available now BUT needs specialized experience to install (not like other tints) -many shops dont have the skill level to install ceramic CORRECTLY -so i recently had Huper Optik's Xtreme Optiks installed on new car...only 15 percentage points less infrared (IR) blockage (aka heat rejection) than ceramic...all other specs like UV, etc are similar if not the same -15 pct points is not that big enough diff to pay 200 bucks MORE for ceramic (but moreso, someone inexperienced might be the installer) -paid around $300 for a 4door sedan. 35% on all 4 doors and 20% on back window (looks clean; cant tell diff % tint) - huper optiks is the best tint imo. german company; do your own research -get your tint at a company that will stay in biz...your install warranty is nothing if they go bankrupt n shutdown -fyi, privacy glass from factory often does not block heat or IR, UV, etc

[@luhryan8185]

Do 35% all around (classy look) and 70 windshield. It won’t give you privacy but it will do the job with keeping heat out

Am I blind or it all looks the same? Why wasn't this done outside?

[@TheGrandmaster1]

I think he's using automatic exposure on his camera, which will always normalize for a certain level of luminosity on the sensor. It will make anything darker "appear" lighter, so it always looks around the same. You'd need manual exposure to really see the differences.

If your tinting yourself go 5% all the way around but driver side 20% 👌🏽!

I have 30% tint on my Challenger. It's dark enough that other drivers can only see my figure but not any of my facial features.

I regret my decision and I’m asking the shop to replace it with 35% so that I can see at night. Seems dangerous to me but not everyone has the same vision.

[@WindowTintingBusiness]

yes the vision aspect is definitely a relative term. Plus different states allow different darkness's as well.

[@rizescrappy8729]

That's crazy. I just got 15% all around, and 50% on the windshield (all XPEL Ceramic) yesterday and I've been kind of disappointed bc it's not nearly as dark as I was expecting. You can see in easily from the outside both during day and night, and the visibility at both day and night is perfectly fine, as if there's not even tint there. The sides you can barely notice a tiny change in brightness but on backroads with no streetlights, I can still see perfectly. Definitely going to have to go down to 5% and 35% shield next time. Shame tho, going to stick with this for a while since it was $650

[@jasonashley9853]

In my experience the darkness from the inside is much clearer in person than a video. So for most tints it's silly to do interior vids. I get it though. So far I did 15% on the back of my Focus and wish I went with 5, lol. But I'm gonna do 30 on the front windows and the whole windshield at 50. I'm in Ohio. I don't get the visor thing. Just do it all at 50. Way more practical and provides more heat reduction.

[@BrittAllOverLovely]

Since my vision is horrible! I’m gone get 15 on my doors. 20 on back windshield & 20 visor strip in the front.

[@saintpetersburg5818]

Most states permit 35% 15% or 5% is usually limo passengers. On a standard passenger vehicle 15% or 5% are referred to as "get shot" tint. That's because an officer walking up to a heavily tinted window is more likely to snap the holster or tilt release their sidearm for quick draw access. If a cop can't see into your vehicle as he approaches he has no idea what's behind the glass waiting for him That is why you will find the cop with his hand on his holster ready for a quick draw.

Once you tint your car the first time, there's no going back

Not true

Hey Patrick yesterday i was tinting a straight rear window on a 2017 f-250, everythin went well and clean but as I hard tooled the 1/2" dot matrix along the side of the window my film wouldn't stick. I've been told elmers and scotch glue, but the dot matrix isnt much at all. Maybe i should've sanded the dot matrix?

[@WindowTintingBusiness]

+Ryan Flores make sure to use a good scrub pad. Could have been oils or something to make it shine. Or you slip solution could have been too soapy. You could always try steel wool also triple zero works best for me. Thanks for watching and good luck!

[@ryanflores8916]

Window Tinting Business thanks Patrick I remixed my slip and lowered it a bit, also used a blue scrubby pad and it finally stuck! Iv never had an actual instructor so Id like to think you and Ralph van pelt are my instructors bro. Thanks for the tips man

Just got 5 percent except the front and back of the car. Had to drive it with the windows up for 30 miles in the afternoon. I would have laughed if I got pulled over a couple minutes after I had just taken it out of the shop. In California i can probably get away with it on the freeway but If it rains I’m probably screwed.

[@Marooncords]

I used to always get 5 or 10% in Cali while I was in high school. I had more than 8 fix it tickets. Racking up 1000s of dollars. Haha I'd never get away with that in LA it's 35%. I'm in Colorado now it's 27%. I miss the10% but not worth it so hard to see and youre a cops reason to tag you.

[@juniortoussaint8696]

Yo this is the video right here cause way too many guys getting pull over for 5% tints

[@broderp]

Not sure why the facination with dark tint. DO this with more reasonable/ legal tint such as 40 and above...

[@robophobic3716]

Around here its 35, 20, and 5%

[@foh9416]

quick question so 15 percent is obviously not blacked out you can obviously still see someone in their even at night time so how would we go from 15 down to 5 and be blacked out ? it’s not far off from each other 🤨 wouldnt you still be able to kinda see inside the car with 5 percent ?

[@theresilientsurvivor1892]

15 is a good balance, driving safety + privacy. 5 will bock your visibility at night.

[@foh9416]

@@theresilientsurvivor1892 i agree i kinda want to stay at 15 which ive never had a problem with the cops but then again so many people around my area have blacked out tint and even windshield tint my dream tint is 5 percent over 15 on the sides , ill probably do it next summer !

[@rabioramos1796]

@@foh9416 so 15 is not dark ?

It would be nice to see what it looks like outside in bright sunlight

I'm not sure what tints I have on my car, but after seeing this, I'm certain my windows are tinted darker than 5%.... I don't live in the U.S. btw

[@starboy3384]

Maybe its spray painted

[@gt2rs260]

@@starboy3384 You're saying windows are spray painted?

[@touijj]

Is 30% tint the same as 70% visibility?

[@johntheaccountant5594]

The problem with tinted windows is that there is no visibility at night; everything is a blur (especially lights of other vehicles) so makes driving at night dangerous as impossible to judge speeds and distance of otehr vehicles when using rear and side mirrors.

[@WindowTintingBusiness]

Your info is not 100% accurate... Film reduces glare from lights. if the film is a blur then you're probably looking at old film.

[@johntheaccountant5594]

Thank you for bothering to write a comment. This film was on a Toyota car that was only one year old. It was supposedly 3M put on by the Toyota dealer at time of sale of the new car which is common in Thailand. I had never diven a car with tinted windows before and when I took the car out at night in Bangkok streets could not judge the distance or speed of vehicles (especially motorbikes that are common in Bangkok) behind or on the sides of me using the rear mirror and side mirrors. It concerned me so much that when I bought a new Toyota Pickup requested the dealer not to tint the windows. I have watched hours and hours of KZbin on the subject of Tinted Windows. I get the impression from the USA videos that for customers it is mainly cosmetic and not to be seen from the outside of the car. I understand that the car doesn't stays cool from tinted windows because most of the car is steel body so the heat will get into the car anyway (maybe take longer). Is that correct? So once the car's air conditioning is on it is not going to make much difference. Is that correct? I am looking at protection against UV with respect to the people in the car. Also does UV damage the interior of the car or is it the heat in the car when it is stationary that damages the car?

[@WindowTintingBusiness]

It sounds like a bait and switch, where they tel you it’s one film but actually put another on. 3m film shouldn’t look like that new. Film ha many benefits like privacy, glass protection from breakage, heat rejection, UVA & UVB protection and a few more also

[@johntheaccountant5594]

Thank you once again. I wouldn't know if it was really 3M or not. I know that the Toyota dealers give it free on sale of new cars. They deducted 5,000 bt = US$166 when I requested no film when I bought the pick up truck. Labour is about US$13 per day (yes per day !) so wouldn't know what the cost of the film and materials would be to tint a saloon car. As I said I have been watching many videos and am under the impressuion that the ionly way to stop UV rays is using Ceramic and then this can be increased by using Carbon also. Is that true?
