Hi Peeps!! Quick Question........

Where can i find clear tints? I've seen it in car shows, its a clear film that offers superb solar protection. I forgot the name, all i know is its made in the US and is expensive.

A Car with no tint is realy cool, but HOT!! So having this kind of tint will make you look cool, inside and outside the car. hehehehe

Thanks

Lem

 

ok let me be the first to say what tha hell u talkin bout bro?

 

Sorry if my post was confusing..
it is a clear film (applied much like a regular car tint) that offers better protection from the sun but it is CLEAR.

 

Possibly you have seen cars with JDM clear glass???

 

i think he's thinking just some almost clear tint that just has UV protection.

but no.. that won't stop heat from coming in really...

 

is this just uv? because i've seen a clear tint that also offers shatter protection in case someone throws something at you while moving...

 

But the one I saw is made in the USA.
look here.......

and the one i saw not only offers UV protection but also eliminates heat,

one company that makes clear tint that has UV and Heat rejection is

again, the one I saw is made n the US, Nasa technoloy and is really clear.

 

even the slightest amount of light reduction can reduce heat... but not as much as if you had darker tint.

 

WTF?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the HuperOptik is one of the highest quality UV/Heat resistant films on the market today. If you go to any high-end car dealership (ie. BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, etc.) they will have a display for the HuperOptik film with a comparison to the other types of UV/heat 'resistors' on the market. This film is quite expensive, but will block out almost 100 percent of the UV rays and has about 99 percent heat rejection, depending on the level of film that you purchase. I was going to get it for the box and then add the limo, but I wasn' about to pay over 400 dollars for a freakin tint job. I think the color comes out a slight blue hue, if any color at all.

 

To explain why darker tint isn't always better, it depends upon the level of metal content in the film. Some films are better than others because they have a certain dye in them with a very low metal content, while others have a high metal content and low dye. I would have to say there are positives and negatives to both sides of the fence. Probably the main reason why I chose 5% with a high metal content is because I can use glass cleaner on the tint without it fading the color, or making it change colors, while also not allowing people to see in my vehicle, especially at night.

The other side of the fence, low metal content with an ___ load of dye, the dye can fade after a while, making the tint either like a brown or purple of some sort.

My tint doesnt block out too much heat, especially in Phoenix, but the UV protection is amazing. The metal flakes in the tint actually magnify the heat penetration, causing the car to be warmer than it would be with a low metal content film. There are so many ____ty films on the market that I have decided the next time I get tint, I am not cheaping out again. Aguileras Tint, hells no!!

 

thanks lem for editing your post about the huperoptik after i replied....

i know about the certain amount of metal content in film.. as far as comparing one level of darkness compared to a lighter one.. having the same metal content....

that's what i was trying to get at. when i said that earlier... n/m.. i'm going ot. it's late.. i'm tired.. shouldn't be posting incoherently anyway.... going to bed now.

 

Did'nt mean to cause trouble by editing my post.

Peace and Happy Driving.

 

yeah.. i was tired and wasn't clear on what i was saying.... after i saw sprslug_182's reply.. i slightly woke up a little.. and saw what i said vugely.. but ehh... blah.. anyway.. no worries.

looks like you found what you were looking for.

 

Go with what you found.

To be clear, a tint has to allow visible light to go through. You can't reject those rays without looking dark. But you can design it to reject forms of light on either end of visible light. UV on one end, or infrared on the other. Combine the two, and you can reject both UV and infrared while allowing visible light to pass, but it isn't cheap.

Hope that helps.
