3M Crystalline or Madico Wincos Tint?
I am planning to tint my car ASAP and at the moment I have narrowed my tint choice down to 2 films, 3M Crystalline or Madico Wincos
I have not been able to find any direct comparisons between these 2 tints. I can't stand heat so I am looking to have the highest heat rejection I can get on all windows while tinting the VL within the legal limits of Georgia law(Must allow more than 32% of light in on sides and rear). I am curious if there is anyone with experience using both of these films and could provide some feedback or recommendation? Thanks |

Are either of those ceramic tints? It seems if you were going for maximum heat rejection then ceramic is the best choice.

You will not regret this decision. I got the 3M Crystalline 40 on sides/back and 70 on front. Money well spent and it has made a significant difference in temperature of car sitting in sun. After getting into car for drive home it is not unbearably hot and it does not take nearly as long for the a/c to cool it off.

Thanks a ton. I am going back and forth on whether I want to go ceramic or not. Since I don't have comfort access this go around, I don't have to worry about the rumors of e ceramic interfering with the signal.

Is that the 40% 3M Crystalline?
Sorry to bump an old thread, but specifically searching for info on 3M Crystalline.
