I am so happy with the tint and paint protection you applied to my new car a couple of years ago. I will continue to recommend your company. Thank you!
A bit too far away to be a customer of you but this is a great guide, I would have loved this a few years ago when I tried to make sense of all of this. It's probably a good call out to also mention that tints offering UV protection will also help your car not age as much on the inside, as they won't have UV rays hitting them and causing wear/fade. As someone who lives in the desert where the Sun is doing it's best to try and cook you as soon as it's out, I'd strongly recommend anyone shopping for a car to factor in the cost of good ceramic tint and get it soon, as it will make your car cooler and quicker to cool once it's been in the sun for a while, as well as making any leather type seating material go from torturous to ok, maybe even nice if it's hitting the seat back and you have a bad back. Ceramic tints on the windshield have an added benefit of making road trips easier, as you aren't getting sunburnt from the sun & road reflection. For the team of Chicago Auto Pros, any specific brands that you'd recommend? And also, any special care that we'd need to do on our tints to both keep them clean but not scratch/dissolve them?
Of all videos I’ve watched to learn about different types of film and sunlight percentages, this is by far the best video I have seen. I wish you were on the west coast, you’d have my business! Thank you for sharing.

Protect yourself from skin cancer and skin damage by having your car side and rear windows tinted. I got the lightest tint applied to my 2017 Prius Prime when it was new. I am glad I did. No worries about the sun damaging my skin while I am in my car. Side windows normally allow a lot of UVA rays through.
I got the lightest Ceramic tint to my BMW and it was gay. U can tell it reduced heat and UV by a little. But when I got 5% VLT, i don't feel barely anything in the 2pm Los Angeles 101 traffic sun. I look at all the law abiding citizens getting skin cancer cuz they want to follow the side window tint laws Fuken poosies... I recommend 5% but it's dangerous AF cuz I can't see pedestrians at night.
They also make dyed film that has a lifetime warranty. Yes, this film will also eventually begin fading but it will most likely outlast the life of the car or at least last longer than how long you will keep the car. 99% of my customers don’t care what happens to the tint in 20 years because they don’t own it anymore. Something else to keep in mind is that tint will not prevent the ambient temperature of the exterior from getting inside, especially if the vehicle is sitting outside. If it’s 95 degrees outside it will be at least 95 degrees (and more) inside. Tip: make sure you tint your glass roof(sunroof). Great video Jason. Nice and clear explanation of tint. 👍
Great observation. Without tint, we've seen cars reach well past 140ºF... Something to think about as well. It's all about that infared heat rejection!
Evvironemnt matters a LOT. My 30% tint is absolutely fine in day, could go 5%, in the city with street lighting at night it's still fine. I live in the country. As soon as I leave town, 30% tint is absolutely black when looking outside from dusk on. I crack my window when turning so I don't hit a pedestrian. It was a huge mistake, yes I like the look and privacy, but you've gotta be able to see while driving... It also mutes all color. The whole world looks like a darker brown/beige bland colorless old movie.
This is why I still have OEM tint.. A lot of people here do 5% and it's a city but some corners are still dark and they still need to open windows to turn safely. The job isn't that expensive here so I might try it and take it off if I decide I can't live with the trade offs.
15-25% on the sides and back and 50% windshield and sunroof is the best. If your rear sides and back are stained dark from factory, slap them with 8%0 so the final number stays around 15-20% and you can still see out of it at night. No darker than 50% windshield for comfortable night driving, with 35% being the hard limit. I had something that metered 29% for about a week and felt like I was wearing weak sunglasses at night, so I went back and had my shop rip it for 50% instead. It was positively luxurious on the windshield in the daytime, though. Didn't even need sunglasses, but with the 50% I'd still choose to put them on during the brightest moments.
You'll get pulled over constantly with 50% windshield in Ohio, so going that dark isn't worth the risk to me. In my area they do not play when it comes to dark tint. I typically go 70% on windshield, 30% on front doors, 15% in the rear. I know some people just have to have side windows matched, but I'd rather have them slightly mismatched than to be harassed by the popo all the damn time.
Had to show my wife how the ceramic tint can reduce the heat inside the car. Getting into a hot car will sometimes trigger a migraine. Time to schedule, thanks.
This video was the best and most informative I’ve seen. I randomly selected it in the pile of choices and now I don’t have to watch another single video. You described and answered all my questions and then some. Great job! Now, if I was even remotely close to Chicago I’d bring in my vehicle! But Cali is a bit of a drive! What caught my eye was the videos feature photo of the temperature gun! Thanks again!
3:01 You are right about the factory going as low as 20%VLT for the rear; even where I'm from here in Perth Australia, our car window tint laws allow the rear and side-rear tints to be no lower than 20%VLT. Its probably a common standard that is adopted by many legislations world wide.
For heat rejection go with ceramic and for anything else or for best Privacy just got with carbon or metalized tint, I currently have 20% ceramic tint on top of factory tint all around and a 5% brow on my murano , and it have pretty big size windows and it is not dark enough in the day or night time , im getting my 20% tint removed this weekend and getting 5% installed around and only a brow on the windshield
Great explanation, I’m taking my car tomorrow for ceramic tint, I would love to take it to your shop but unfortunately I live in Florida. Wish you a very successful year.
Been watching a few videos on window tinting by businesses and this is by far the best. Direct, concise, and informative. If I was up north, I'd use you guys, but sadly I'm in the south. Do you have any associates in the ATL area that you'd recommend?
What about the Toyota Venza and the Crown Signia untold that most tinting places won’t touch it with a 10 foot pole. What do I need to know when looking for somebody to do tinting on this type of vehicle?
I need to tint my new car because i suffered a pretty terrible burn on my thigh. Im definitely interested in the tint that will block light and heat from my leg! Hopefulyl i can become a customer of your yours soon! I loveeed this video! ❤❤
I bought a used car that had 5 percent on all the back windows and I couldn't see backing up at night. I had to put the windows down before I was backup the car to see if anyone was walking by.
Too bad you're not local. I had my car ceramic tinted and it does work to keep the interior cooler and help the AC work less to coolthe car after sitting. The windshield tinted ting (I went with 80%) messed badly with my auto on lights. They came on way too early and often. So keep that in mind when tinting the windshield. The biggest issue is heat soak from the roof and sunroof. I assume tinting those would improve heat rejection.
So, basically: Types of Window Tint Films: Dyed Film: Least expensive, lasts 2-5 years, may fade, and bubble. Metallized Layer Film: More expensive, includes a reflective layer, helps prevent premature fading, and keeps the car cooler. Carbon and Ceramic Layer Films: Advanced options, block infrared heat effectively, providing better performance and appearance. UV and Infrared Rays: Most films block about 99% of UV rays. Dyed films only block about 20% of infrared rays. Ceramic films can block up to 98% of infrared rays, keeping the car much cooler. Visible Light Transmission (VLT): VLT ranges from 5% (very dark, limo tint) to 50% (much lighter). Chicago Auto Pros offers a variety of VLT percentages (5% to 80%), allowing customers to experience different tint levels in-person. Common Questions Addressed: Windshield Tinting: Yes, it's possible, commonly done with an 80% VLT for reduced glare. Warranty: Ceramic films come with a lifetime warranty against peeling, fading, or bubbling. Winter Tinting: Yes, it can be done, and it might be the best time due to a less crowded schedule.

If you tint the front window, how is the registration and/or inspection sticker affected on the tint? Obviously it's easy to put on a current sticker, but, when your car has a renewal for inspection and/or registration, how easy is it to peel off the current sticker and replace it with a new sticker? curious if tint end up tearing???
Great video enjoy the straight forward. Interesting i was recently turned down to tint my windshield here in South Florida even with a State issued Exemption. Some companies here will turn you down. Today i got my windshield tinted after replacing a windshield. I always stay with the 15% nano premium and 5% around here in South Florida its a game changer especially on 100+ days you dont feel rhe hear coming in
Be wary if the glass is dark, placing a dark tint there will make it much darker than the other windows for the same VLT (for example are tesla sunroofs, rear windows)
This video came out at the right time. I need to get tint on my brand new Mach 1 and didn’t know where to start. I’m not an expert on tint lol. Thanks for the info!
I have 15 on my sides and 5 on the back it's pretty good The sides aren't too dark but gives you the privacy you want without going overkill with 5. I'm thinking of doing 30 or 50 on the front
Looking to go with ceramic, right now I have 20% tint(a step down from ceramic tint) all around and 25% on the windshield, can’t see shit at night especially when raining, will getting ceramic greatly improve visibility?
No. You can't see because you went to dark on the windshield. I'd go into your nearest shop and ask then to help inform you. Ceramic isn't a shade, it's a line of film.
Great video…I’m going to take my chance with getting 55% tint all around. I live in New York and I see people driving darker than that. I’m just gonna wait for my window exception to be on the safe side.
My question is that if 70% ceramic film heat resistance is as good as 50 and/or 35. I have SUV that has factory tinted in the rear windows and a few days ago I had 35% tinting for the front windows, 15 over rear factory windows. But the back window is so dark at night, can't see anything in the rearview mirror, and it's very difficult to drive so I'm considering to replace it with 70. What I care is UV/heat resistance rather than darkness.
Is there a perceived difference when going with 80 vs 5% with the same type of tint? Will the darker tint make you feel more comfortable inside the passenger cabin vs clear?
Thank you for the video. Is there any tent that reduces glare from the inside? I know that’s a weird question, but at night when I turn the car on all the lights on the dash and the aftermarket LED strip shines and bounces off the inside of the new ceramic tent.
I live in Chicago and am getting 35% all around BUT want the windshield 50%. The law says only 6 inches but I would like to know from other’s experiences if I would get pulled over for it or not?
I’m looking for the perfect window tint because I have a severe sun allergy, and trying to figure out which is the best to get, and will I be able to see clearly out while driving at night.
Thanks for uploading. Any advice for us DIY’ers? It seem’s like with patience and attention to detail with a quality film, I could do it almost as good as a pro and save some bucks.
Glad I finally got my XC90 to you for the nano ceramic tint to be installed. Nice bonus to see that one of your detailers also has a sharp looking XC90.
Great video! So my dilemma is, i had 5% regular windshield tint couldn’t see at night so i went with ceramic 20%. So now my issue is that i feel like i can see too much from the inside now compared to what i just had. My question is, if i went to 5% ceramic, will the inside look like the 20% ceramic or it changes drastically? If it changes drastically how would it compare to the 5% regular tint from the inside perspective
I want to get a tint exemption for my eyes but if i can get it i cant decide between 20 and 35 ceramic tints. I think 20% looks best but might block too much light at night.
Question....does the rear tinted windows from the factory block the uv and iv rays like the premium ceramic tint will. I have a 2024 Ford Edge with factory rear tinted windows. I plan on getting the ceramic tint on my front untinted windows soon. Thank you.
question, to prevent bubbles from my window tints do i go with the ceramic tint or does the type of tint have nothing to do with bubbles and it has to do with the person installing the tints
Bubbles after installation have nothing to do with the type of tint. It's up to the installer to properly install your tint! However, bubbling can occur over time with off-brand or low-quality tint.
Wait so just to confirm, ceramic tints are the best but if you wanna go crazier then get multi layer ceramic tints? And they both provide 98% heat protection ?
Appreciate the video! Can’t find a link to your website in the description, figured it should be right at the top but don’t see an easy one to click on.
This is a great example of a video for businesses to upload. Both informative and shows off the business

Are Tint companies able to tint the window on the back of a soft top convertible?
just to get an idea, how much would it cost to tint model y all sides and back except the windshield with carbon tint?
That was really good information, and well-presented. Thank you!
Great video! So my dilemma is, i had 5% regular windshield tint couldn’t see at night so i went with ceramic 20%. So now my issue is that i feel like i can see too much from the inside now compared to what i just had. My question is, if i went to 5% ceramic, will the inside look like the 20% ceramic or it changes drastically? If it changes drastically how would it compare to the 5% regular tint from the inside perspective
I want to get a tint exemption for my eyes but if i can get it i cant decide between 20 and 35 ceramic tints. I think 20% looks best but might block too much light at night.
go with 20. 35 is not dark enough.
Does the percentage of tint have an effect on how much uv it blocks?
I was thinking of getting my 2002 corvette convertible tinted. I was just wondering about the cost.
Question....does the rear tinted windows from the factory block the uv and iv rays like the premium ceramic tint will. I have a 2024 Ford Edge with factory rear tinted windows. I plan on getting the ceramic tint on my front untinted windows soon. Thank you.
Wish we have full tint in cars here in Japan just in the back. Only compared to us is more dangerous and still gets a full tint
Can u use carbon on windshield 70….tia…

How long does ceramic tint last for?
I have a 2002 gmc yukon it has factory tint. What should I put over it?
Will tint windshield be easier to fog up?
question, to prevent bubbles from my window tints do i go with the ceramic tint or does the type of tint have nothing to do with bubbles and it has to do with the person installing the tints
Bubbles after installation have nothing to do with the type of tint. It's up to the installer to properly install your tint! However, bubbling can occur over time with off-brand or low-quality tint.
I have a Cracked windshield can you tint it anyway?
Fix your window bro😂
Wait so just to confirm, ceramic tints are the best but if you wanna go crazier then get multi layer ceramic tints? And they both provide 98% heat protection ?
Hello, very informative, nicely done. Crazy question: Is there a such a thing as “Polarized film”?
This is very educational and informative. Would you be able to talk about pricing for non Chicago prospective consumers?
Have you ever use ceramic tint on an ocean going sailboat?
I tinted my front windshield 50% and don’t see as well at night anymore. Should I switch to 70% or give it more time?
I carry 65% so not at light as 50 but a little darker than 70%. You could try darker headlights or just remove and go with a lighter shade.
If your car comes with dark windows from the factory do you have to remove that before tinting?
Does a 30% block more IR than 80%? If so, by how much?
Thank you for the information. What about the sunroof?
Can it improve noise reduction?
