    Opinions on Window Tint?

    It’s not a “conditioned space” while it’s just sitting there

    Now while you are driving down the road with ac on. yes it rejects heat better, it really does, no denying that

    Is it worth the $ ? guess depends how much you drive in the hot sunny weather

    It is substantially more money around here anyways. If you just need two front windows done to match the remaining it’s not a huge extra cost. It’s when all 5/7 or so windows need done its gets pricey

    I completely agree with this.Opinions on Window Tint?
    A few years back I was wowed with the little heat lamp demo that a popular tint shop did for me and I paid a premium for that fancy ceramic tint...

    But I’ll never forget what my buddy said to me while I was driving that pearl white car to Las Vegas in the blazing sun.Opinions on Window Tint?
    I was trying to avoid turning the AC on because of the steady climb in elevation towards Vegas and the many warning signs posted along the road. Finally my buddy couldn’t take it no more and said hey man does the AC work or what? I told him that the tint I had installed blocks the heat and he quickly replied BULL****! It’s hot as hell in here turn the AC on!Opinions on Window Tint?lol.

    Today I had my 2 front windows tinted for $60 bucks cash.Opinions on Window Tint?
    And when I told the guy that I removed my previous tint and it left absolutely no adhesive residue on my windows the 1st thing he said was “cheap tint”

    Now I’ve got a minor dilemma... It doesn’t greatly bother me at the moment but I am considering having him do the rest of my windows. Check it out.



    I noticed it immediately and when I asked him why it looked so different he told me what I should’ve already known... “That cheap tint turned purple”

    From the outside it all looks the same.



    But with his prices and good honest service I’ll probably be going back and having him do the rest of the windows soon. And for nowhere near $300 bucks or even more that some places try to charge for tinted windows.

    I would DEFINITELY get the rest done... especially if it's a good price!

    Cheap tint and ammonia based cleaners make them turn purple. I would have had the purple tint removed and redone immediately!

    My Camaro is rocking 15% on the hatch and 20% on the sides. Llumar films. My Jeep only has factory tint.

    I’ve been wondering lately about why this happens...



    And whether it can actually affect tint and lead to this purple situation we see in my rear windows.



    Would you guys care to see a long term test where I use D120 on my passenger side tint and a different window cleaner on the drivers side?

    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Actually I just took a look at the Kias tinted windows yesterday, and after using D120 on them for the past few years they still look fine...

    But here’s a cat related D120 picture as requested. Lol.



    That picture was taken 3yrs ago the day I left her home alone and she went crazy and spilled that gallon of D120, causing it to leak all over the carpet, requiring 2 days of intensive steam cleaning in order to finally get rid of the nose piercing scent it caused.
