I am looking for a clear tint for my windshield to reject heat and protect my dash. I am thinking about getting 35 all around the rest of the car except maybe the front. Don`t want to give cops a reason to stop me.
If you have suggestions for the normal tints too in terms of good heat rejection I am all ears!
Check out Clear Plex.

One of the aspects I like about the film is it has a polarized finish. I am still researching if that will have a negative effect with my polarized sunglasses or not though, that could be a deal breaker if so.
AIRBLUE 80!!!!!!!!
I have a mix of airblue and CTX, they are top of the line but well worth it. There is maybe 1/4 of the heat that used to build up inside my car. The ceramic tints are absolutely a must for high heat states.
I have it on my R, I LOVE IT! I have an all aluminum interior which burns my hands all the time, this just killed the heat.
Here`s pictures...

BTW ~ Tint doesn`t always stop heat, it`s the type of tint that does. Look for ceramic tints, almost all shades/% kill heat.
Definitely go with ceramic. I have 29% ceramic all around and 40% ceramic on my windshield. It blocks a TON of heat on my all black car with all black interior. My front is huper-optic and not sure what the rest of the car is but I can find out. Was extremely mad when it was getting done so didn`t really ask. As long as it was getting done the correct way the second time I didn`t care.
Driver is right about tint not always stopping heat. Most people think that just because your windows are tinted dark that it`s blocking heat. That is totally wrong. The darker the tint the more heat it traps.
For clearplex does that have heat rejection?
Also for ceramic tints don`t they interfere with the radio? I have a sharkfin but I think that is just for the Sat radio on my Lexus IS.
Boostin when you are giving those percentages is that in terms of a dark film or a clear film`s heat rejection?
That`s in terms of light, ceramics do an dont with the radio. I`ve personally never had a problem but some have. You need to research.

That just sounds like hogwash to me.
Those percentages are how dark the film is. So not only is my film dark, it is ceramic as well. Except my windshield, it is clear ceramic.
Sounds to me like going clear ceramic is the way for me!
On the few polarized windshield tints I have seen, polarized tint doesn`t play will with polarized sun glass lenses. I don`t know about clearplex but just speaking from past experience.Quote:

I`ve learned something new today. Clear tint. Who knew?
