Ceramic Tint > windshield

Have you tinted your windshield for heat reduction or brightness? What % did you go with? I am thinking 35% - but wanted some feedback before paying 180$ to have it done. I live in a HOT state, and want to reduce interior temps in summer. I do use a sun shade almost every day as well

Pretty effective for heat and brightness at about 30% VLT. A >90% heat reduction film will treat you well.

Nice to cut the glare from modern headlights too.

High quality sunshade is a must for times parked outside.

I did go with the 35% 3M ceramic tint. Lifetime warranty, and they did a good job. Ready for summer . . . was pricey, but maybe it will help save my dash in long run

I did the same last year and having a black car in SoCal I can say it (ceramic all around too) made a big difference. Ac doesn’t need to work as hard and I don’t really feel heat on my skin. Overall happy with it especially in the triple digit heat days.
