50% is a great film and has a lot of benefits, most block out 99% harmful UV rays and about 20%-30% heat reduction. No it's not a privacy film like 20% and lower but it has a place in the tinting world. So no it's not useless!

For some of us older folks, seeing through is not the point. It is reducing glare and heat, but still being able to see where your going at night as yours eyes don't do so well over 50 years. 50% looks ideal to me ...

All about what you're after. Privacy vs Protection. Some of the new 50% ceramics have some pretty impressive, UV, IR, TSER numbers - and night visibility is better than with the darker tints. I really don't care who sees me. And I don't want LAPD getting jumpy due to blacked out windows. A friend just did his new Sportwagen in 70%, (CA Legal limit for fronts) and it looks sharp with that off-white silver paint. That car stays surprisingly cool in 95-100º heat. To each his own - you Ohio guys are O.G. Thanks for the video.

50 and 35 percent would of matched better

Little effect??? The only thing you wont gain is privacy and superior glare reduction however, 50% "tint" as you call it will still keep out 99% UV rays and if you are using a quality film it should reject somewhere around 40% heat. 50% "tint" should reduce the glare by half. If the glass should break another great feature of having any window film is that it will keep the glass somewhat together should it break or become shattered. Any film is better than no film...SMH

he even tinted his sunglasses 😂😂

it's the guy from the original tinting video you made; the one with the 95 honda accord sedan. I decided to go with 35 front, 5 back, and 15 rear window. you were a big help in deciding my tints, and it's not becoming a reality on sunday aug 6. so thank you bro. glad to have subbed~ keep up the good work :D

I went with 15% all around on my car. And I’m glad I did. Had 50% front, 35% rear sides and 15 back window and hated it, as sometimes it didn’t look tinted at all from the sides on a sunny day. With my light interior, the 15% came out perfect. I knew even with the 35% front, I wouldn’t be happy then I am now so I took the risk. You can still see through and seeing out is perfect for me as well day and night. Also I believe if you don’t drive like a idiot, you will be fine with the cops. Don’t give them a reason to pull you over then have them ticket you for tint as well. Drive the speed limit and obey the traffic laws and you will be good. Privacy and comfort over everything!!

Getting a newer car tinted and have never had this done before so this was very helpful, thank you. BTW 50% is the legal limit here as well.

Would you recommend 50% for the windshield? Keep in mind I live on the Alabama Florida line and will be moving to New Orleans within the next year 6 months.

I live in Westerville, what’s a good place to have Ceramic tint put on my 2016 Civic?

I have to say, you make it look so easy! Excellent job..👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I was in the back seat of my friend’s car when it got rear ended and luckily he had that back window tinted or else I would have been covered in glass and cut up all over! Any % tiny is better than no tint!! I personally think 50% all over is elegant, classy looking.

What type of tint is this 50? I’m looking to do this tint for my 01 ford ranger

Thanks for the vid. Just what I needed. From experience I can tell you in NJ the 50% on front windows prevents a 100% chance of anxiety every time you pass a Cop.

5% tint is totally useless. When I had 5% it was difficult to se out of at night and it didn’t provide anymore UV protection; and It makes the car look tacky as hell. 35% on the sides and back windows with 50% on the windshield is the best combo I’ve ever had.

Very informative as always! Thx!

I think 45-50% looks classy on the front windows.

Is there a tint that can block headlights? Cause I get home 11-12pm at night and I find myself getting blinded

Will he get pulled over if he drive through New York with a 70% tint law? thanks,

I live in Ohio and did 50% on a car that had a light interior. I'm doing my truck with the same but I have a black interior. I'm hoping that makes it seem darker.

Great video. Very helpful information 🤗

And for many states it keeps you legal assuming your factory glass tint is 70%. [ 70 * .5 ] = 35%

Mf 3k subscribers.. lol! You’ve got darn near 300k now!! Heck yeah brother

the 50% actually looks a lot darker than I thought it would - sketchy in CA for sure if you meet the wrong HWY Patrol officer and they're having a bad day.............

Can you do an example of 50% on front windshield with front doors and 5% across all back windows?

Nice video. What part of Ohio is this? I live in Columbus myself. Hope to see you out and about sometime.

Hope there is an opportunity to do a 40% demo... (Side & rear)

Yo you guys did my brothers car I'm not into the window tint thing but I got to ask you what's the name of that song your playing

Can someone clarify this for me. So I’m in Ohio, 50% is the legal limit right, but most bare glass windows have a factory tint on it already (70% to 80%). So if I were to get a 50% tint, plus the 70% factory tint, the total tint would be around 35%. Which would be illegal in Ohio right?

What song is playing for the background?

I'm in Ohio too and I've always done 35% on fronts and I have been pulled over for it, but only received a warning to get it removed, which I never did. I'm getting ready to do my new vehicle and I'm thinking of just keeping it legal this time because 50% actually does give a reasonable amount of tint, plus you still get all the UV protection and a decent amount heat rejection.

I'm thinking 50% or maybe 40% as a middle-ground is possible. Some people don't like how dark even 35% is at night time. During the day 35% noticeably changes the colour of stuff out side to look less vivid and bright and nice... plus I'll be wearing sunglasses, so I don't want a darker tint making things too dark with sunglasses, since currently with no tint, sunglasses can sometimes already make things a bit too dark for my liking during certain weather. I also like that when looking out, there isn't a very clear discrepancy between the windshield and the side windows. I like the consistency. Then it's just more subtle, which is especially nice on a shitty car one doesn't care about lol. The darker tints are almost like a statement, like it's very obvious that ya got your car windows tinted like a cool fella with what they feel is a cool car, instead of it just being like, maybe darker factory windows. This isn't a very important point, I don't think this should stop anyone from doing what they wanna do. 50% is still providing some privacy over clear (on camera). Can't seem to see facial features, you can see the person, but not the details. I don't care (or want) to be completely concealed in the darkness like it's an FBI vehicle, I just don't want people to be able to like, make direct eye-contact with me lol. Then other than that, the main reason I want tint, is so as I can have a UV film on the windows to block over 99% of UVA. Even if it had zero tint, I'd still get the UV film.

so the smaller the % the darker the tint? b/c to me the 20% was darker than the 50%. i dont know about cars so im curious

It's easier to understand if you say tint that allows 50% light in and tint that allows 20% light in.

Thanks, thinking about 25% on my 2020 sonata in Texas.

Were the headlights on for the first half of the video?

Where you guys at in ohio? I'm in Dayton and need some tint on my G37.

what kind of film are you using?

I mean but ay, 50% still better than no tint at all! I am extremely intrested in the same config, 45 in the front and 20> in the rear

Was this just dyed? Or was it a a type of uv blocking tint?

Take a look at luxury cars. They are not too dark or not too light. Front VLT between 45-55 % is the best, get all UV protection, and an officer is still able to see through.

why is the soapy water used ?

Thanks for the update ! : ) 50% front should be legal everywhere, it's so light !

Towards the end of the vid... that's the most effort I seen so far... I'm looking for a video 5% back half of car and 50% front half including the entire windshield.. in Ohio too.

50% is perfectly usable, it's amazing for those folks that don't want to be completely invisible.

Good video, helped me decide I'm in Cleveland and I don't wanna deal with the 5-O so I'm going with 50% front and 35% back/rear. I'm Black, my car is Black interior and exterior I'll blend in just fine, I don't know why fools in OH like to pull up all lined up right next to you at the lights, they must not been anywhere outside of OH🤦🏾‍♂️

Which set a squeegees do you recommend for Chevy Cruze lt 2016

Thinking about 30-35% for my suv but what would you recommened for tints in MN?

what brand tint is that?

You should have towels over the speakers and other electronics!

Planing on going to Cincinnati Ohio this month. Are you from their? i also just subscribed

50% uselss? Wrong. Define useless. Does it block heat or reduce UVB? Is it darker than the OEM window tint? Yes. Just because some fanboy wants to look "cool" and not and not only get illegal, but foolish and potentially dangerous in the dark.

Where in Ohio are you located?

Don't see a reason to remove door cards. Btw, nice job.

very useful video thank you

I bought a black Wrx. Dealer is giving me free tint. In Mo I can be 35/05, but I want no hassle nationwide. What should I get? I’ve ordered 35 all around. Should I go 50?

If your going for looks or trying to hide your face then 50 is useless. In my city {vancouver Canada} cops are really strict on tint even 50 or 70 will get you pulled over and you gotta remove it. I have 50 on my fronts for reducing heat which is worth it

Is it normal to put tint on the outside of rear windows? I've never seen that done before, especially on any of my vehicles. Is it a different type of tint? I would be worried about the strong chemicals in car wash products and especially in car washes.

Wish I found this channel before I left Columbus, I like how you all tint.

Thanks for the vid. I’m thinking of getting my windows tinted and always wondered if it’s even worth it or if you can tell a difference. Because I’m thinking of 50% in the front two because in Wisconsin the law is 50% on the driver and passenger and the darkest the back 3 can be 35% and I thought I might as well obey the law since Iv had numerous friends who have gotten tickets for dark tint lol.

I live in Ohio should of just went with 35 in the front 20 in the back, that’s what I have. You’re safe with 35

Thank you for showing 🎉

8:26 "psh.. this guy over here got me doing this shit by myself while he wanna make a vlog" 8:34 "fuck this shit, yo"

I’m getting 5 all around with 50 on the shield and a 5 percent strip in the morning

i used to have 35 all around and got a ticket beckase my town sucks. thinking i might throw 50 on the front

Be lucky you can tint that much! Canada BC you need to allow 70% of the light through on the front windows, aside from the sun strip on top, back windows can get any tint they want

Seems like a lot of work

Song?

looks good

Thanks for this info. I bought a used car from a dealer with tints. Well I got a $50 ticket for having illegals. Rear are 5% and know I'm gonna change the front to 50% just to be on the legal size and avoid future tickets. 50% still looks good on that car. Every little bit helps blocking the ☀.

Stupid question, but why did the door panels need to come off? Does that always need to be done? I’d prefer if the tint shop didn’t take my brand new car apart.

Should I get my windshield tinted fully or just a strip?

What tint you got Ryan

50% has great glare reduction looks great will still block 99% uv and if possible go ceramic it will perform as good if not better than than a regular 2 ply dyed 35% film.

Honestly 50% isn’t completely useless, but it would be a waste of money. My previous car has 22% back half and 50% front 2. Not the best. Plus it had almost a white interior so on them sunny days, it appears almost as if there was no tint. The perks is visibility is pretty good day n night. On my current car, I’m running 5% back half, 15% front, 45% shield, and it’s been serving my privacy as well as practicality since it’s drivable at night (I’m kinda just used to it) while providing privacy day and night. I chose ceramic so it would reject heat for the entire black interior. Honestly 2 popular tint combos is 15s all around OR 35% front half, 5% back half. These 2 combos are nice. IMO the setup I’m running is nice and I’m rlly happy with it. It’s basically providing a blacked out look while still maintaining drivable visibility on the front half at night. The dark tints helps at night mostly when ppl high beam from the back. 5% does a fantastic job for that and 15% does a good job.

What if factory tint is 75% and you get 50% over that, does it come down to 42%?

It looks good man. I'm not sure about the laws there but if anyone went around my third brake light instead of removing the rear deck to tint the entire back window, I'd make them re-do the back window. Unless the laws prevent you from covering a brake light, go the extra mile man.

It's pretty good but if you ever do another one show us what it looks like at night.

Thank you for the video Today I wanted to change my window tinting to 50% I do like privacy but I have blue eyes and any sharp light hurts my eyes This is why I thought 50% is the way to go But yes an eye opener It was very informative

*cops starting to eye ball my Walmart tint. i might need to change it to a lighter Walmart tint. i got pulled over for my tint for the first time ever of 5 years for my tint. its not like i haven't been pulled over before and non of those cop dont even bother with my tint. I think that Walmart tint was like 20% or something, probably a little lighter then that since you can see through it in sunny days no problem from 50ft away or so. When they stop you for your tint, its usually cloudy days. Im thinking of hitting 40% next tint, a shade darker then the legal 50% cause i barely drive with window up in sunny and hot days anyway. its the cold and dark days in the winter and rainy days that matters usually.*

I give you a thumbs up 👍🏻 your windows are nice in. Car 🚘

What is the standard tint on a lamintaed windscreen on a new car from the manufacturer? I am interested in tinting the windows against UV A and B, not so concerened about the look. Is it true that a laminated windscreen prevents UV A and B ? Thank you for this video showing the effect of a 50% Tint because most people show much darker tints generally. I would not consider tinting more than 50% on the side windows (front and back) and the rear window. You need to look through the side windows to look through the side mirrors so tint will effect your rear view, not just the curb. And you also need to look through the rear view mirror through the rear window. If you drive in big cities at night, like myself in Bangkok with scooters on allsides overtaking and undertaking and pulling out, you need good vision. You say that you cannot see the point in puting film/tint on windows of only 50% however: Any tint film will prevent UV A and B. UV B gives you sun burn UV A gives you skin cancer

That looks darker then 50%

In Ohio 50 percent is the only one you can legally use on the front Passenger doors. Windshield is 70 percent. Back door windows and rear window have no restrictions.

All jokes aside I live I a big state Bean town and I and tired of the 35% and below. Tints , I had done then in the pass and Its just and attention getter and ghetto as can be , I really enjoy the 50% looks classy and super clean plus it gives of some transperancy to a car with a beautiful interior ; for me 50% all the way , what tint did you guys use for the car?...freat job

Here in UK it's the little drug dealers who drive round in illegal tinted front windows.

is that CRL crap he's using ok on tint?

so is 5% legal in ohio?

In 2020 you have over 200,000 subs. 😎👍

Thank you

I’m from Cleveland Ohio i want to tints now

You look like Luka Doncic with the shades on. Just thought I would say that.

Lol now your at 29k subscribers

What's it cost to get a tint like this?

go 20 sides and 50 front windshield, makes your front windshield appear 35. I run the same thing with my customers,

I got 15% all around on my truck and I should've just said fuck it and get 5% lol

What’s wrong with seeing right through it? Seems some what dark and you’ll never get pulled over and keeps heat out. Sorry but you should retitle the video.

pointless for sure. but that's an old lady car so it's straight

Sweet grandma going to love her car can’t see her going to bingo
