Well I didn't do the best editing the sound but yes Ceramic film will block out more heat than the other lines of film. I always try to use Ceramic for Full Windshield installs and just charge accordingly. I want to make a better updated video about Ceramic in the future. Thanks for checking it out.
I had no idea that the 70% ceramic made that much of a difference. Thanks I just bought a semi and will definitely be adding this to the list of things to do to it.
Wow, I just got 5 percent all around on my vehicle. I was wanting to tint the windshield, but didn't want all the attention that gets from law enforcement. The 70 percent ceramic is definitely the way to go for that! I can't believe that the 5 percent did so poorly in that test, I feel like it's much cooler with the 5 percent versus nothing, but it almost seems like that does little to nothing with that test you did! Thanks for the great video!
Yeah it really depends on the line of film. A Ceramic will block out more heat than just a dark film. Just helping people understand why Ceramic costs more. 70% is a nice film that works and like you said might help keep the law from tripping to much. Thank you for watching, even though I know the sound wasn't very good.

@@Demidannyy 20% on the sides is pretty much the norm on the vehicles I tint. Also remember most SUVs and minivans have rear privacy glass that's close to 20% so it's common and most can see well out of it.
@@FadeToBlackLLC how much would it cost to get 70% ceramic tint on windshield, 20 side window and 5% on the 2 small back windows and rear windshield on a mustang?
Just had my car done-- 70 windshield and front, 5 rears. Outside looking in on the 70, you can see a slight tint. Will it cops care especially here in California? I doubt it. Inside looking out? Amazing! It's like viewing HDR in your car. You would probably need to go darker than 70 on the windshield if you are sensitive to bright lights coming at you. Doesn't do a whole lot to dim HID and bright LED headlights but cut the glare at bit.
@@FadeToBlackLLC Yeah Ceramic. It reduces the staring into the sun type of effect of bright headlights. LOL For me I really notice the clarity in my field of view more. Passengers don't even realized there's tint on the windshield until I say something.

Been rocking ceramic tints for almost 6 years. My last car didn’t have this and I was being roasted like a turkey with the windows up and my arms were clearly a few shades darker. Ever since I got ceramic tints I’ve never had this issue. Need to get my windshield done now.
Ceramic Tint is good stuff, it's crazy no matter how much I talk about it people still have no idea about it. Full Windshield makes a world of difference.
Nice video, crazy how much of a difference different films types make. I'm having trouble deciding on my car's tint, I want either 70% or 50% front windshield and front windows tint and 15% back windows tint with 35% back windshield tint (so I can see better backing up at night, that is a concern I have). However I don't know if these combinations make the transition look good or if lighter tint is even necessary for the back windshield tint for when backing up at night. Thanks, would help a lot and I value your expert opinion
When I back up I have a rear camera and I also use my mirrors and not the rear view mirror. I personally like to keep the shades all the same. So you are all over and that drives me a little crazy to be honest. I personally have 50% on both of my windshields so I’m cool with that. For sides and rear just do 20% and keep it simple.
Before you buy tint for your front window (it”s illegal in all 50 states by the way for a reason, look it up) ask your car insurance company if you are still covered if you hit a pedestrian at night while driving a car with a windshield modification that makes it illegal.
There's always that one guy. These are things we know and deal with EVERY DAY as a business owner. I don't tell Gun shops not to sell guns to people when they can be illegal as well. It's something that you need to have common sense with like most things in life. Also this film is clear so you wouldn't even know it's there 70% Ceramic Full Windshield. Thank you for your comment.
Thats a good selling pitch " when we are young we want Darker tint" in reality 3m tint has different % of shade but all have the same quality of protection. I have 3m tint on all my windows. I have 70% on wield shield 50% on side doors ( driver and passenger) then 20% for my 4 back windows. Its literally light and day in the summer keeping out heat and keeping warm in winter. The front window for 3m for front wield shield is $300 to $500 just for that window fyi. But its worth it because that's where most sun hits. His a good sales person tho. I would said it differently as a sales person myself, I would have said "being younger we just want tinted windows for show but not for quality but the 3m isn't just tint but a item that will improve your vehicle in the summer from the heat staying cool and staying warm in winter". Then break it down further. Because regular tint is useless in my opinion it only provides shade but no heat reduction but 3m provides all around protection with all shades.
You definitely know what your talking about. Yeah as we get more WISER we want things for different reasons. I like to be comfortable and not just be dark anymore ha ha. Sounds like your ride is covered! 👍🏾
70 percent ceramic tint over factory 20 is equal to about 14 percent tint. So basically, you could add a 15% tint on the front side Windows to make them look like they match!
Yes but I'm using this to show how 70% can benefit everyone being applied to a full windshield. Also 70% Ceramic over the rear on SUVs and Minivans because a lot of older people don't want to go dark but this will help keep the interior cooler. I do install a lot of 15% Fronts for another shop, but I myself use 20% and most of my customers are happy with it. Thanks for watching.
I love all of your videos! can you do a video about how much tint (% & length) a new tinter should buy if starting own business? Also would love a price breakdown of what to charge customers!!! Thank you!
I have a video here based on roll sizes.. You have to look through my videos. I don't post or talk prices, they are different all over the country based on the market and brands used. Call around to the local shops and ask for the popular install prices and that will help you know what to charge. Stay close to them and don't undercut. You loose money and it also brings down the market prices.
Hey man I’m really enjoying the channel. Had a quick question tho. I have 3% tint on my rear windows and the front have 15%. I wanted to get my windshield tinted since it gets really hot. I wanted to go with the ceramic film but I also wanted some tint on the windshield. What would look the best for privacy but not have me on alert for the feds. I’m looking for a not really visible look through the windshield but also not something super dark. Preciate it brotha!
Thank you for watching. I'd do 50% on the windshield in Ceramic. A nice light smoke and if you open up the sunroof it let the windows down it will look lighter when you need it to. I have more videos coming up with 50% full windshield content, just need time to get them up.
Really appreciate your videos, you do great work. I'm looking to get into tinting and want to start with one of my own vehicles. What brand of film do you use or reccomend?? Any feedback is appreciated
I don't really talk about brands it's more of a personal preference. I've been using Flexfilm, Tint Club and now SolarFx for various reasons but they are all good films
@@FadeToBlackLLC I'll look into those, I just didn't want to buy low quality film and end up with purple windows or something like that. Keep up the good work, I hope business is good. Thanks for the input.
You know I actually never try to upsell someone local when wanting something done. I do think that this is really nice to have on any vehicle. Young or old we all can enjoy the benefits of this film. Thank for watching. I want to film and install it on my truck when I get time.
@@FadeToBlackLLC same, my truck has factory tinted back windows but I want to get some for my front and I'm glad I saw you video before I just grabbed some cheap stuff from Walmart
Im thinking of doing a 70% on my windshield in ceramic. I see you're using a panaflex on your sample... im being encouraged to go with Wincos 70 by Madico. i was told it has a slight blue hue.. i haven't seen it in person yet. looks like the panaflex was slight blue. are all the 70% slight blue that you have seen. I really think i prefer clear as opposed to a color.. TIA.. great video BTW
The Panaflex actually looks very clear no blue at all. I've seen some Llumar with a slight blue but when looking through it I think it's good. Check out my Impala video with the Colored tint, now that is very different looking through it.
@@FadeToBlackLLC I ended up going with 3M Crystalline 70% on the windshield and panoramic roof of my 22’ Lexus ES Ultra Luxury. I’m extremely happy with the result. No blue hue.. and immediately noticeable glare and heat reduction
@@OfficiallyTonyGianni that's awesome, glad it worked out for you! I have Ceramic on my Van as well and 70 is a great way to avoid problems with the law and reduce heat.
I'm trying to figure out a tint for my cars, im in PA so I think the legal is only 70% on all windows. I'm going to have to go ask at the police station I think because the back glass is already smoked. I'd love to at least do 50 but the heat reduction is my main goal. The eye protection at night too, I've been behind cars now who's tail lights are bright enough to hurt.
Definitely go with a Ceramic film. That stinks you can only go 70% though. At least 50% would be nice. I'd do the whole vehicle including Windshield with the film though to help. Even over the oem smoked glass.
I’ve never had anyone complain about clarity. People love having their windshield tinted. If it cracks and gets replaced they come right back to have new tint installed.
If you live somewhere hot as hell. Definitely get 70 ceramic on the windshield. It’s so good that I’m doing it for my girl friends car Monday. 50 is better but in my opinion a bigger gamble. Especially since I regularly travel to California
It won't interfere with electronics but honestly I don't remember if Polarized glasses look wierd through it because I don't wear them. Some film like Llumar looks rainbowish right out of the box and that will look weird but I don't think the 70% does if I remember correctly.
Hey I appreciate it. I have to work on the music, that one was a little off but at least you understand what I was trying to say. Still learning how to give a presentation. Thanks for watching.
I pointed it at the object as if the sun was passing through a window and landing on it. As in your skin or the dash board and heating it up. The Ceramic tint is going to block out heat and less will enter the vehicle that's why I measured after the tint not ON the tint. If that makes sense?
I just tinted my whole car expect windshield, thinking of getting 70% on windshield even though it's illegal in my state. Because heat comes most from damn windshield
I've got to stop purchasing new windshields for my Harley Road King just b'c bugs and sand scar up the plexiglass type windshields. Would this ceramic tint protect my windshield from scratches made by bugs & grit ? Would I be able to replace the tint from time to time as it gets beat up while saving my windshield ? Do you have an opinion or suggestion ?? Thanks for your generous consideration, Sincerely ........................... Steph
I'm guessing that film has the Low Angle Haze that people talk about with some Ceramics? I've been using Panaflex 70% with no issues. Very clear film. Hopefully you get some clear film installed on there soon.
@@FadeToBlackLLC mmm yeah but Suntek CXP isn't ceramic, weird it's milky looking when the sun hits it. I dont notice it after a while, but when I first put it on I was a bit dissapointed. It does cut a good amount of heat though. 44% TSER if that's anything to go by.
The con I see with tinting your windshield is if you had to break the glass to escape your vehicle, especially if you were submerged under the water or on fire.
Even if something hits the glass it will stay in one piece. Use ceramic to block the heat and a nice shade to reduce the glare. Plenty of reasons to tint its. Oh and it looks AWESOME!
Nice vid. Question for you. I have formula one ceramic tints on all of my cars (including 50 on the windshield). I wanted to get ceramic on my moonroof/sunroof but I was told that it is not advisable as ceramic absorbs heat. I should at least use metallic tint on my moonroof/sunroof since metallic reflects heat and sun since the roof is always hit by sunlight. Is it true? Any thoughts? Thank you!
Some do say it's not good to tint sunroofs. It's crazy I think just did one today with Ceramic. I've never had any issues yet with sunroof. Here in Wisconsin we have have cloudy skies half of the year though. I say if you really want it done, have them do it and them sign off for no responsibility.
@@FadeToBlackLLC Thank you for your feedback. Personally I think it is a good idea to tint sunroof. I have seen a lot of Tesla owners doing it on their panoramic rood. It is hard to get someone to tint sunroof but I did find a couple willing and they both said that it is better to use non ceramic for those. They did have the same reasoning. I do live in Florida so it can be quite hot on the sunroof.
For some reason Ceramic is now getting pretty popular. I won't confuse them with another level of Ceramic. Most just like the basic Ceramic I've been using now.
I’m debating on the % I should get.. 5% all around & 70% on the windshield OR 5% rear, 15% front & 45% windshield I want the complete privacy plus heat rejection but am a little sketchy with the 5% on the front two windows because of driving at night.. but during the day I don’t want people to see in so that’s why I’d do 45% on the windshield so it’d help but idk
what about in the winter when you r trying to defrost the front windhshied won teh ceramic tint block the heat front the heater in the truck so the windshield will get ice all over it thanks
No the heat from the defrost comes from the Vents in the dashboard, that has nothing to do with the tint. Ceramic film helps keep your interior temp more consistent during winter so your not getting blasted from the sun entering through the glass.
Hello. I recently got 3M ceramic IR 50% windshield tint. Last year, however, I got 3M Color Stable on the side and rear windows. As far as heat rejection goes, is it worth removing the color stable (nano carbon) film on the side and rear windows and installing ceramic film on the rest of the car? I have 35% on the front side and 5% on the rear windows. Will I feel a noticeable difference or should I save the money and keep the nano carbon film on the other windows or upgrade them to ceramic like I have on my windshield?
That's a good question. In the past I had Ceramic on the Full Windshield and Carbon on the sides. If you feel like the sides or rear still feels hotter compared to the Windshield I'd say yes change the sides. If you don't seem to notice I'd leave it. Driving into the sun with a Dyed Film on my windshield back in the day my hand would be hot. I switched to Ceramic and I could tell my hand on the steering wheel stayed cool. So go with what you feel. I hope that helps some. Hard to explain with typing.
@@FadeToBlackLLC thanks! I do feel a little warm from the sunlight sometimes through the driver’s side windows but I’m not sure if it’s worth the money/if it’ll truly cool down the car by a major noticeable difference or not if I switch to all ceramic.
@@gregoireansari6651 that's hard to really say. I drive directly into the sun heading west every day so when I switch to Ceramic I could tell right away. It just depends, a lot of variables but you will have to decide.
70% is virtually clear so what color you put on it will look pretty close to THAT color. If you install 70% over rear Privacy Glass like my latest video you won't notice it get any darker. Not enough to tell a difference.
Have Black Pearl (I was told 70) on my side and back windows, now want to get windshield done. I see there is a NR70 and a NC75. Would one be better than the other for the windshield? Thanks
Sorry about the audio but you definitely get the idea of what Ceramic film can do. I plan to have more content coming. I'll try to redo some of this information. Thanks for watching.
So I’m sold. But here’s my issue. I live in Colorado. No window tint on the windshield is legal here. Can I get away with a 70% if a cop pulls me over for something else would he/she notice? I can not do glare at night I need something!
Is it normal to have a cloudy haze on your windshield when driving towards the sun with 70% ceramic tint after it was installed 4 days ago? And will the haze go away, or do I need to get the ceramic tint replacement on my windshield?
Some Ceramic will have a haze at certain angles. It's called Low Angle Haze. It might happen at certain times when the sun hits. You should really just talk to the shop that installed it if you feel there is an issue. Thanks.
What i want from a tint is to make it less of a greenhouse and to be able to have stuff in my hatchback trunk hidden enough that passers by won't think to break in and steal it at a glance. I am not a rapper, I ain't in a limo lol
I want to get my windshield tinted but I’m not sure if i should get 70% or 50%. What do you recommend? I’m in Florida so the sun is VIOLENT down here and my area is pretty lenient on tint laws
Does 70% percent ceramic tint come in different grades??? Had a tint guy say there are two grades of it . He charge $120 for low grade $220 for high grade. Which one was you testing.....thanks
In my state it is illegal to tint the windshield at all. Is it possible to get the benefit of ceramics with a 85-90%? Something that will go unnoticed?
If you wear Polarized sunglasses you will definitely notice that. Some films might have more of that look than others. The films I use don’t show that.
Hey man. If my side windows plus rear windshield are 35%. Should I go with 50% or 70% for the front windshield to match it up? What do you think about the windshield tint strip? And yes, you are absolutely right about ceramic tint. I have it on my Infiniti Q50 and I'm loving it thus far.
Well it won't match but I'd do 50%. I think that will look good. Visors are nice but I don't usually run them on my vehicles. It will help it be darker inside.
Would it mess up my insurance policy if I tint the windshield with that 70% ceramic? Kinda heard that if involved in an accident,it will put me automatically at fault..something like that.
With this 70% it's clear no one can even tell it's been applied. I can't see why how you would have any issues with it? Chances are if you have an accident it wouldn't be related to being able to see out of the windshield. You should see how many people do 5% on there veh now a days. They can't see but it's on them.
I install Carbon and Ceramic. Some of the Gen 4 Dyed stuff is a good product. I just found what works best for my Market and pricing. Some of the Dyed colors I don't care for as much either. I like a dark black looking film.
@@ItsCreates well you will have tint where your not supposed to. So I can't say either way? Some have good luck and some people don't. No way to know if you'll attract more attention?
Yes I know.. EPIC fail on my part....I've tried to work on that in my latest videos. Hey I hope you've check out some of my other videos too and Subscribed. Thanks.
I think I need something like this as I suffer from severe ight sensitivity, that means UV lights, the new Ledheadight, and even Florescent lights are quite bothersome to my eyes. Can I still get a dark tinted visor strip along with the clear 70° ceramic?
This video was uploaded over a year ago. Some including myself like to plan out things on my vehicles for the upcoming year. There have been advancements in the Technology of window films that people can consider doing in the future. Thats why I said 2020 when it was upload last time if that makes sense?

These are things we know and deal with EVERY DAY as a business owner. I don't tell Gun shops not to sell guns to people when they can be illegal as well. It's something that you need to have common sense with like most things in life.
Also this film is clear so you wouldn't even know it's there 70% Ceramic Full Windshield.
Thank you for your comment.
I just got 35% XPEL Prime XR done on my windshield and my eyes are thanking me. No need for sunglasses and LEDs don't hurt my eyes.
Very cool!
Thats a good selling pitch " when we are young we want Darker tint" in reality 3m tint has different % of shade but all have the same quality of protection. I have 3m tint on all my windows. I have 70% on wield shield 50% on side doors ( driver and passenger) then 20% for my 4 back windows. Its literally light and day in the summer keeping out heat and keeping warm in winter. The front window for 3m for front wield shield is $300 to $500 just for that window fyi. But its worth it because that's where most sun hits. His a good sales person tho. I would said it differently as a sales person myself, I would have said "being younger we just want tinted windows for show but not for quality but the 3m isn't just tint but a item that will improve your vehicle in the summer from the heat staying cool and staying warm in winter". Then break it down further. Because regular tint is useless in my opinion it only provides shade but no heat reduction but 3m provides all around protection with all shades.
You definitely know what your talking about. Yeah as we get more WISER we want things for different reasons. I like to be comfortable and not just be dark anymore ha ha. Sounds like your ride is covered! 👍🏾
How does 3m tint keep a car warm in the winter?
70 percent ceramic tint over factory 20 is equal to about 14 percent tint. So basically, you could add a 15% tint on the front side Windows to make them look like they match!
Yes but I'm using this to show how 70% can benefit everyone being applied to a full windshield.
Also 70% Ceramic over the rear on SUVs and Minivans because a lot of older people don't want to go dark but this will help keep the interior cooler.
I do install a lot of 15% Fronts for another shop, but I myself use 20% and most of my customers are happy with it.
Thanks for watching.
I love all of your videos! can you do a video about how much tint (% & length) a new tinter should buy if starting own business? Also would love a price breakdown of what to charge customers!!! Thank you!
I have a video here based on roll sizes.. You have to look through my videos.
I don't post or talk prices, they are different all over the country based on the market and brands used. Call around to the local shops and ask for the popular install prices and that will help you know what to charge. Stay close to them and don't undercut. You loose money and it also brings down the market prices.
can you do a test of headlights shining against the glass to see the difference from the camera how much the glare is reduced?
Hey Wayne, great video! Any recommendations on tint shop in Orange County, California? Thanks much. Appreciate you man...
Honestly I have no idea on shops out there. I'd just read the reviews and I'm sure you'll be all good.
Hey man I’m really enjoying the channel. Had a quick question tho. I have 3% tint on my rear windows and the front have 15%. I wanted to get my windshield tinted since it gets really hot. I wanted to go with the ceramic film but I also wanted some tint on the windshield. What would look the best for privacy but not have me on alert for the feds. I’m looking for a not really visible look through the windshield but also not something super dark. Preciate it brotha!
Thank you for watching. I'd do 50% on the windshield in Ceramic. A nice light smoke and if you open up the sunroof it let the windows down it will look lighter when you need it to. I have more videos coming up with 50% full windshield content, just need time to get them up.
Really appreciate your videos, you do great work. I'm looking to get into tinting and want to start with one of my own vehicles. What brand of film do you use or reccomend?? Any feedback is appreciated
I don't really talk about brands it's more of a personal preference. I've been using Flexfilm, Tint Club and now SolarFx for various reasons but they are all good films
@@FadeToBlackLLC I'll look into those, I just didn't want to buy low quality film and end up with purple windows or something like that. Keep up the good work, I hope business is good. Thanks for the input.
A true salesman, had me sold at 2 minutes in
You know I actually never try to upsell someone local when wanting something done. I do think that this is really nice to have on any vehicle. Young or old we all can enjoy the benefits of this film. Thank for watching. I want to film and install it on my truck when I get time.
@@FadeToBlackLLC same, my truck has factory tinted back windows but I want to get some for my front and I'm glad I saw you video before I just grabbed some cheap stuff from Walmart
Im thinking of doing a 70% on my windshield in ceramic. I see you're using a panaflex on your sample... im being encouraged to go with Wincos 70 by Madico. i was told it has a slight blue hue.. i haven't seen it in person yet. looks like the panaflex was slight blue. are all the 70% slight blue that you have seen. I really think i prefer clear as opposed to a color.. TIA.. great video BTW
The Panaflex actually looks very clear no blue at all. I've seen some Llumar with a slight blue but when looking through it I think it's good.
Check out my Impala video with the Colored tint, now that is very different looking through it.
@@FadeToBlackLLC I ended up going with 3M Crystalline 70% on the windshield and panoramic roof of my 22’ Lexus ES Ultra Luxury. I’m extremely happy with the result. No blue hue.. and immediately noticeable glare and heat reduction
@@OfficiallyTonyGianni that's awesome, glad it worked out for you! I have Ceramic on my Van as well and 70 is a great way to avoid problems with the law and reduce heat.
I'm trying to figure out a tint for my cars, im in PA so I think the legal is only 70% on all windows. I'm going to have to go ask at the police station I think because the back glass is already smoked. I'd love to at least do 50 but the heat reduction is my main goal. The eye protection at night too, I've been behind cars now who's tail lights are bright enough to hurt.
Definitely go with a Ceramic film. That stinks you can only go 70% though. At least 50% would be nice. I'd do the whole vehicle including Windshield with the film though to help. Even over the oem smoked glass.
Lots of info, very useful but the music in the background makes it harder to hear
Yes that's my bad, I have the Pinned comment stating that I messed up this video. I'm thinking about Remixing it when I get a chance.
Except it takes away from the clarity. Spring time sucks but summers in CA makes up for it.
I’ve never had anyone complain about clarity. People love having their windshield tinted. If it cracks and gets replaced they come right back to have new tint installed.
If you live somewhere hot as hell. Definitely get 70 ceramic on the windshield. It’s so good that I’m doing it for my girl friends car Monday.
50 is better but in my opinion a bigger gamble. Especially since I regularly travel to California
People have 35 percent on windshield here in California
That's getting a little to dark out there, especially since I'm out in the country.
I don't think you can go wrong with 70% but so many want that color/shade now a days.
Your a genius! Thanks so much
for your insight/knowledge.
Be well.😎
Naa, just trying to share my thoughts. Thanks for watching!
Fade to Black! Great Name!
Thank you!
I just got 70 percent I don’t want cop to pull me over
Even the 70 helps to block out the IR and keep it looking Factory!
@@FadeToBlackLLC the pigs I mean cop won’t stop me right
Ceramic tint makes a huge difference. I alway notice when I'm in a car that's not my own.
I agree. Some of my more recent vidoes I've been using some Ceramic and noticing the difference as well with this hot Temps in Wisconsin.
Great demo! Question: Does this 70% ceramic interfere with polarized sunglasses, radar/laser protection, etc?
It won't interfere with electronics but honestly I don't remember if Polarized glasses look wierd through it because I don't wear them. Some film like Llumar looks rainbowish right out of the box and that will look weird but I don't think the 70% does if I remember correctly.
Thank you @@FadeToBlackLLC! Great channel, sub'd!
@@erijavec I did some new Windshield Tint on my Impala. Working on the video now, check it out when it's uploaded. Crazy!
Woah! Thanks for explaining so well. Subscribed!
Hey I appreciate it. I have to work on the music, that one was a little off but at least you understand what I was trying to say. Still learning how to give a presentation. Thanks for watching.
Ceramic tint is the way to go. I drive a lot and had it installed to block uv light on my skin.
All my personal vehicles are done in Ceramic as well.
Is there a noticeable reduction of light coming through the windshield with 70%, or do you need 50% for that. Appreciate it
50% would be better for light reduction.
Great information! Is it 2mil or 4mil thickness?
It's 1.5ml Flexfilm Panaflex is the 70% Ceramic is use.
I'm confused, why would you point it at the heat and not the tint? I would think you would be standing behind the heat lamp and point at the tint.
I pointed it at the object as if the sun was passing through a window and landing on it. As in your skin or the dash board and heating it up. The Ceramic tint is going to block out heat and less will enter the vehicle that's why I measured after the tint not ON the tint. If that makes sense?
I just tinted my whole car expect windshield, thinking of getting 70% on windshield even though it's illegal in my state. Because heat comes most from damn windshield
Yep the 70% would help. Most people can't even see it so I think you should be good.
I want to get this done but I’m not sure how the inspection sticker in my state is gonna work since they scrape it off which might ruin the tint.
I'd talk to the local shops and see how they handle it. I installed some 70% Ceramic Full Windshield this afternoon.
Can't find anyone to do windshield at all, might have to diy
Give it a shot at least you tried.
I've got to stop purchasing new windshields for my Harley Road King just b'c bugs and sand scar up the plexiglass type windshields.
Would this ceramic tint protect my windshield from scratches made by bugs & grit ? Would I be able to replace the tint from time to time as it gets beat up while saving my windshield ?
Do you have an opinion or suggestion ??
Thanks for your generous consideration,
Sincerely ...........................
Steph
No this won't help a cycle screen. Tint is applied to the inside.
Maybe try some high quality PPF.
I have 70% Suntek CXP on my windshield, but it's noticably milky. I will install Global QDP ceramic sometime soon.
I'm guessing that film has the Low Angle Haze that people talk about with some Ceramics? I've been using Panaflex 70% with no issues. Very clear film.
Hopefully you get some clear film installed on there soon.
@@FadeToBlackLLC mmm yeah but Suntek CXP isn't ceramic, weird it's milky looking when the sun hits it.
I dont notice it after a while, but when I first put it on I was a bit dissapointed. It does cut a good amount of heat though. 44% TSER if that's anything to go by.
The con I see with tinting your windshield is if you had to break the glass to escape your vehicle, especially if you were submerged under the water or on fire.
Even if something hits the glass it will stay in one piece.
Use ceramic to block the heat and a nice shade to reduce the glare. Plenty of reasons to tint its.
Oh and it looks AWESOME!
New sub...love the knowledge about tint GREAT explanation 👍🏾💯
Much appreciated! I have much more content, right now it's my busy season so I have long days and short nights lol.
Thanks again for Subbing. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Nice vid.
Question for you.
I have formula one ceramic tints on all of my cars (including 50 on the windshield). I wanted to get ceramic on my moonroof/sunroof but I was told that it is not advisable as ceramic absorbs heat. I should at least use metallic tint on my moonroof/sunroof since metallic reflects heat and sun since the roof is always hit by sunlight. Is it true? Any thoughts? Thank you!
Some do say it's not good to tint sunroofs. It's crazy I think just did one today with Ceramic. I've never had any issues yet with sunroof. Here in Wisconsin we have have cloudy skies half of the year though.
I say if you really want it done, have them do it and them sign off for no responsibility.
@@FadeToBlackLLC Thank you for your feedback. Personally I think it is a good idea to tint sunroof. I have seen a lot of Tesla owners doing it on their panoramic rood. It is hard to get someone to tint sunroof but I did find a couple willing and they both said that it is better to use non ceramic for those. They did have the same reasoning. I do live in Florida so it can be quite hot on the sunroof.
The Nano tint is the best ceramic tint would've dropped that temp to the low 20s easy!
For some reason Ceramic is now getting pretty popular. I won't confuse them with another level of Ceramic. Most just like the basic Ceramic I've been using now.
Need 2 semi trucks done.. love the videos.. stopped looking for a place after watching

@@FadeToBlackLLC where are you located at bro?
@@Johnny747CB Marshfield and Freedom Wisconsin.
@@FadeToBlackLLC ok thanks bro
I’m debating on the % I should get.. 5% all around & 70% on the windshield OR 5% rear, 15% front & 45% windshield I want the complete privacy plus heat rejection but am a little sketchy with the 5% on the front two windows because of driving at night.. but during the day I don’t want people to see in so that’s why I’d do 45% on the windshield so it’d help but idk
I'd suggest the 15% on the fronts just so you can see at night. You'll need to roll down your window to see at night with the 5%.
Great video. Alot of things I never thought of like the tint on sunroof and over factory for keeping car cool. Thanks
Most people always think dark, but there are other reasons to use window film. Thanks for watching.
Just remove it before your court date
Good one.....Can anyone let me know how to recognize the original 70% llumar flim other than the llumar printing on the flim..
No clue, I replace a lot of film and have NO idea what brand it is. Also the name on the film usually wears off after a while.
what about in the winter when you r trying to defrost the front windhshied won teh ceramic tint block the heat front the heater in the truck so the windshield will get ice all over it thanks
No the heat from the defrost comes from the Vents in the dashboard, that has nothing to do with the tint.
Ceramic film helps keep your interior temp more consistent during winter so your not getting blasted from the sun entering through the glass.
informative, but the music is too loud. your voice and the music need more separation
Yep, I've been told that a few times about this video in these comments. Something I'm working on moving forward. Thanks for watching.
Hello. I recently got 3M ceramic IR 50% windshield tint. Last year, however, I got 3M Color Stable on the side and rear windows. As far as heat rejection goes, is it worth removing the color stable (nano carbon) film on the side and rear windows and installing ceramic film on the rest of the car? I have 35% on the front side and 5% on the rear windows. Will I feel a noticeable difference or should I save the money and keep the nano carbon film on the other windows or upgrade them to ceramic like I have on my windshield?
That's a good question. In the past I had Ceramic on the Full Windshield and Carbon on the sides.
If you feel like the sides or rear still feels hotter compared to the Windshield I'd say yes change the sides. If you don't seem to notice I'd leave it.
Driving into the sun with a Dyed Film on my windshield back in the day my hand would be hot. I switched to Ceramic and I could tell my hand on the steering wheel stayed cool.
So go with what you feel. I hope that helps some. Hard to explain with typing.
@@FadeToBlackLLC thanks! I do feel a little warm from the sunlight sometimes through the driver’s side windows but I’m not sure if it’s worth the money/if it’ll truly cool down the car by a major noticeable difference or not if I switch to all ceramic.
@@gregoireansari6651 that's hard to really say. I drive directly into the sun heading west every day so when I switch to Ceramic I could tell right away.
It just depends, a lot of variables but you will have to decide.
How would a 65%-50% ceramic over 70%
70% is virtually clear so what color you put on it will look pretty close to THAT color.
If you install 70% over rear Privacy Glass like my latest video you won't notice it get any darker. Not enough to tell a difference.
Appreciate your video very useful
Thanks for watching.
Thank you for making this video helped me out a lot!!👍👍
No problem, thanks for watching
Have Black Pearl (I was told 70) on my side and back windows, now want to get windshield done. I see there is a NR70 and a NC75. Would one be better than the other for the windshield?
Thanks
Just do the 70% and keep it simple. 75% is even lighter and 70% is already light.
any difference in color shades between Panaflex 70% charcoal VS Black?
I'd ask Ralph he can explain that way better than me.
Does it help significantly with dashboard reflection?
Not the 70, it's virtually clear.. Used as a heat reducer
Great demonstration!!!! This made up my mind.
Good informative video. Over 30 degrees lower than dyed limo, what a difference.
Sorry about the audio but you definitely get the idea of what Ceramic film can do.
I plan to have more content coming. I'll try to redo some of this information.

Would the windshield have a rainbow effect with ceramic from lights at night?
No it doesn't. The rainbow look your describing comes from wearing Polarized Sunglasses looking through film.
Thanks for the video! I have 5% on my 2018 accord! Will the 70% make it look darker because I had 70% on the front ?
It will make it look a little dark wrap. It'd more for heat and some glare reduction at night.
So I’m sold. But here’s my issue. I live in Colorado. No window tint on the windshield is legal here. Can I get away with a 70% if a cop pulls me over for something else would he/she notice? I can not do glare at night I need something!
I think you'll be good with 70%. Most people don't even notice the film is even on the car.
Very informative video. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Hey bro. Nice video but just some advice. Try turning down the music. It’s competing with you speaking.
Yes I commented that I messed up when editing. Keeping that in mind for the future. 👍🏾
If my vehicle has rear privacy glass and I add ceramic with 70% transparency will it still make it darker?
70 has virtually no color to it so it can't really make it darker.
What about inspection sticker , won’t they cut the tint when you go to get the inspection done?
We don't have inspection stickers thankfully!
Is it normal to have a cloudy haze on your windshield when driving towards the sun with 70% ceramic tint after it was installed 4 days ago? And will the haze go away, or do I need to get the ceramic tint replacement on my windshield?
Some Ceramic will have a haze at certain angles. It's called Low Angle Haze. It might happen at certain times when the sun hits.
You should really just talk to the shop that installed it if you feel there is an issue.
Thanks.
Suggestion. Turn off music. Hard to hear you speaking. Thanks.
Thanks, yes I realize the audio was off. I've corrected the new videos since then. I have another Ceramic video coming soon.
What i want from a tint is to make it less of a greenhouse and to be able to have stuff in my hatchback trunk hidden enough that passers by won't think to break in and steal it at a glance. I am not a rapper, I ain't in a limo lol
That's a really good reason, people can't take what they can't see. Check out the Fishbowl video I just uploaded.
I want to get my windshield tinted but I’m not sure if i should get 70% or 50%. What do you recommend? I’m in Florida so the sun is VIOLENT down here and my area is pretty lenient on tint laws
I'd probably do 50% Ceramic so it has some color and will help block out 50% of the light.
Fade To Black LLC thanks for the feed back!! :)
Does 70% percent ceramic tint come in different grades??? Had a tint guy say there are two grades of it . He charge $120 for low grade $220 for high grade. Which one was you testing.....thanks
This was Ceramic. There are different types of Ceramic out there and some do cost more than others.
Find the Brand and look it up.
@@FadeToBlackLLC Okay thanks
In my state it is illegal to tint the windshield at all. Is it possible to get the benefit of ceramics with a 85-90%? Something that will go unnoticed?
Actually the 70% is pretty unoticable. Check out my Minivan video. Yes there is an 80-90% film that Llumar makes that works for Windshields too.
3M Crystalline CR90
Rainbow effect after 70 % windshield tint install normal?
If you wear Polarized sunglasses you will definitely notice that. Some films might have more of that look than others. The films I use don’t show that.
Hey man. If my side windows plus rear windshield are 35%. Should I go with 50% or 70% for the front windshield to match it up? What do you think about the windshield tint strip?
And yes, you are absolutely right about ceramic tint. I have it on my Infiniti Q50 and I'm loving it thus far.
Well it won't match but I'd do 50%. I think that will look good.
Visors are nice but I don't usually run them on my vehicles. It will help it be darker inside.
Do u use a light wen cutting and tinting a back window? If so watts the best options for beginners
I have a whole bunch of vidoes in my back window Playlist. I use a light and also White Line Tape from Mytintstuff.com
Ok thank u happy holidays
Would it mess up my insurance policy if I tint the windshield with that 70% ceramic? Kinda heard that if involved in an accident,it will put me automatically at fault..something like that.
With this 70% it's clear no one can even tell it's been applied. I can't see why how you would have any issues with it?
Chances are if you have an accident it wouldn't be related to being able to see out of the windshield.
You should see how many people do 5% on there veh now a days. They can't see but it's on them.
@@FadeToBlackLLC gotcha! Good to know. Thx for the reply and the awesome info 👍🏽
