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

Watch this video before you decide to get ceramic window tint! I compared the Xpel CS against XR and XR PLus. I had the Xpel PPF done on my 2021 Civic Type R and 15% Xpel XR Plus on the windows and 70% windshield. I wasn't expecting the feel much different with the Xpel Plus but there's a big difference in the film and you can immediately feel it inside of the car. For now on, I will purchase the highest grade ceramic. #xpel #windowtint
I also had the chance to interview the shop owner of Stealth Window Tint! It's one of few places. I like the way they do business, you no longer have to wait weeks to get in for an window tint appointment.
These guys do walk-in service and you still get great quality work!

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)

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.👍

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. 😂

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.

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!

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 9 ай бұрын

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.

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 Жыл бұрын

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
