That's a great demo. But a heat lamp emits "infra red" (IR) light. That's only one extreme of the light spectrum.

Appreciate ur work across multiple videos man! Good stuff bro! If I lived in Texas ud have my money every time I got a fix then ignore it till it was 5x the original price
I've always heard Ceramic window tinting you pay a place to install, should always be a "lifetime warranty". The ceramic tinting is color stable and is poor at holding-onto heat and contains no metal and not a cheap dye. Therefore, it doesn't absorb or retain the heat anything like cheap tinting. The cheapest tints use a cheap dye, that fades in the sun. Some metals conduct heat and electricity very well, those metals are commonly used in electrical components and heating elements, such as Steel, Copper, Gold. Some metals are not as good for heat/electricity, like aluminum, which is why people put potatoes in aluminum foil to bake them and you can touch the foil bare handed almost instantly after removing contact with the potato. Aluminum can also be used for electrical shielding, but it's still somewhat conductive. Aluminum can also be used as a heat-sink, because it is conductive, but cools down very quickly. Aluminum is a little complicated to me. The amount of time it takes for something that is heated, to cool down, determines what is is best used for. Okay I lost interest in typing stuff, but this should at least give you some ideas or things to look up. I can't say that everything I said is 100% accurate, but it's good enough to get the point across. Ceramic tinting is the best kind for all reasons, except upfront cost.
You can test your glass and see what the IR reading is, or remove a sample and test the film sample as well. Nano Ceramic films will have a more present bluish glow when light hits it from a certain angle.
It can get expensive if you have to remove it and reapply it every year just to get a new inspection, especially here in NY A lot of stations getting in trouble from DMV for putting it through, these laws here suck
What is the meter you're using for the heat transfer measurement. What "type" of meter is it (in other words what are those meters called, generically) and the brand you have in this video? Thanks
Can you or do you have measurements of cars sitting out in the Texas Sun using that meter and with each tint? I’m contemplating getting the nano but how good is it when a car has been sitting outside in the heat all day?
There's a video I will be publishing once the weather gets hot enough to do a documented experiment. Keep in mind, window film is an INSULATOR not an air conditioning unit. Think of a Yeti cup: If I were to leave a Yeti cup on a roof top all day in the blazing sun, at some point that heat will be transferred inside-this is called the Law of Thermal Equilibrium. What window film does is SLOW DOWN the heat transmission so that your A/C is able to cool the car down much faster and getting it MUCH colder. The A/C is what cools your car, the window film is what insulates it. Hope this helps to understand!
Texas Tint Masters thanks for responding. Then at what point is ceramic tint not worth paying the extra for? Like I leave my car from 7:30 to 4:30. I would at least expect that it is cooler than with regular tint. That’s really what I’m looking at. If it won’t make a difference then it’s really not worth the money.
@@Stevenyc69 As I mentioned, because of Thermal Dynamics, the car will get hot regardless unless there is a force to counter it (which would be your A/C). Let's say it takes 45 minutes for the car to get to peak temp with regular tint. Ceramic Tint will drastically slow down the process.
@@Stevenyc69 Any tint, no matter how expensive - or not tint - will make the interior of the car heat up and in about 2hours it will be at the same temp! The main advantage of 'better tint' is that if you go back to the car in 5-10mins it will be cooler. Other advantage is that the A/C is working less: You could leave the A/C on ECO mode, as against cheaper tint you would have to have it on MAX. A/C in cars take approx 10% of the engine power - so uses more fuel.
@@Stevenyc69 I know it's a late response but, I recently had nano ceramic installed on and while the car will be hot when sitting out all day it cools down dramatically faster and bonus perk is I don't get a sunburn driving around anymore lol. I actually get cold even with it being 90±.
Did you used same level of tint sir? I think for every tint brand they their own different tint variants from cheaper to expensive. please enlighten me.
Hi, thanks for the great video. I'm wondering if there is a film that in the winter limits the heat from inside the car to be transfered outside through the windows. This type of film exists for windows at home.
I think you’re confusing how the home window film works. And on most vehicles I don’t really think it would work. I think you’re referring to the clear plastic that you adhere all the way around the inside of your home window, creating an airtight section of dead air between the window and the interior of the house. That dead air acts like insulation for your interior from the outside, and doesn’t allow as much cold to come directly through the window. So I don’t know how you could do that in most vehicles really.
If I dont have a meter how would I know. The glass when I touch it is extremely hot. Supposedly this was tinted with ceramic tint. My windshield which is not tinted is slightly cooler than the paint of the car. I paid for SunTek Evolve ceramic tint on a VW Passat. The job was done good enough for me. I think they used the bottom line tint based on my truck windows being cool to the touch.
Glad you asked that, great question! Ceramic tint is an insulator that traps most of the heat at the glass, slowing the process of heat transfer into the inside of the cabin, which allows the car to cool down much more efficiently. That heat has to go somewhere. Most of it is kept at the glass and then dispersed on the outside. The reason why windshields tend to be cooler is because of the air cooling effect from driving in the wind. A hot glass means it’s holding back more heat.
Couldn’t help but subscribe to your channel. There’s so much chaos in the world already and folks on here make it worse by making lengthy videos instead of a straight forward one like yours. Keep it up. A link to where you purchased the regular ceramic?
been planning to have my tint replaced any tips about the "crown optic" tint brand the seller said it's nano ceramic is that brand good?, do they last long or do they fade fast?
For ceramic and nano ceramic tints, are they the ones where you can see the darkness of the tint from the outside but when inside the car it looks normal? Or is that only for nao ceramic?
That was a Fake Tik Tok… False Advertising! If you wear sunglasses During the day you can see fine, but at night you can’t see unless you have super bright lights on….. Dark is just Dark! People who believed that False Ad does NOT understand visual light transfer. 🤦🏻♂️
Besides 3M tint, what manufacturers offer anti-counterfeit measures that ensure a customer is receiving $1000 tint vs $400 tint? I can put any reasonable quality tint in an empty $1000 box and say “you are getting the expensive best quality product, but last I knew 3M is the only bender that stamps a temporary color that says 3M on their films, and good installers show this to customers before they clean it off. What can a customer do to not get ripped off?
XPEL does this as well with their films and it’s what we use. We perform an infra-red heat test on all installations after completion and attach it to the vehicles in full transparency. We take pictures of the readings and offer it to anyone who asks for it. Great question.
I wanna know the upcharge on these plastic films. 1k for plastic film is a lot. Just wondering. I have friend who works at tire shop. He told me for the brand of tire that he gets for for his truck would cause use normies 1k. Roughly. But at cost was more like 300 to $400. Ouch.
Also note that the first sheet of film you can see the light between Table and film leaking thru, unlike the other films you demonstrate you make sure no light is leaking thru at t he bottom. Peace have fun just an observation ceramic is definitely worth
Think about it like an investment for your car. With the extra $200, you protect more heat so it gets less hot as fast and you can get that car cooler faster with ac. And if you plan to keep the car for a while, the $200 is just a fraction of your car's worth and your experience in it. That's why I spent the $200 extra recently to get nano ceramic over ceramic.
@@vzoom96 well said! thank you 💯 but @edwin the shop is charging you a typical price! you can check out videos on our channel for more information on ceramic/ nano ceramic tint if not feel free to DM any questions you may have to our Instagram @texastintmasters
Is the nano ceramic tint film available for a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan crew ? Can it be shipped out to other states or is it only available in your location?
So, are those ceramic films dyed or carbon based? Is there a way to find out what films are using which technologies? Loved the video and easy to follow visuals
Thank you for watching! They're both color stable ceramic films. It's tough to know for sure because some companies sell a "carbon" film when there's no carbon. 🤦♂️ Ultimately what people want is a film that will perform well, and one that will last a long time. Both of these at their top of the industry. 👍
No difference. Nano refers to a nanometer which is a unit of measurement. Carbon film is a carbon film. Can you be more specific in the films you are inquiring about? I can help better once I know more detail about what you are referring to.
@@TexasTintMasters i guess, i m little confused myself.... someone on ebay is using this word....Nano Carbon Film, and what all i know is.... one is dyed film,,,, 2nd is carbon,,,3rd is nano carbon,, 4th is ceramic,,, and last one is nano ceramic....thats what i understood after searching internet since 7 days 😏
@@vijaychauhan9613 Unfortunately there's A LOT of misinformation regarding window film. My best opinion and assessment is this: If you'd like a good quality film that will protect you from heat & last you a long time, use a ceramic film and stay away from carbon films.
I got the normal ceramic, and the nano ceramic for the wind screen, my car still gets hot when I leave it in the sun for a long time. I really need some more advice on this.
That's because the heat is still surrounding your vehicle. Heat doesn't just enter through the windows, you have body panels, a trunk and the underside that will transfer heat to the interior. Park in the shade whenever possible to help reduce the transfer. Even if you insulate all panels it will still get hot inside with enough time. The tint and insulation will just reduce the time for it to heat up, not keep your interior cold at all times.
@@D1G1T4L1Z3D I did my research and found out that, you can never really escape from the heat, so the tints and UV protection gives protection where it can.
@@D1G1T4L1Z3D Well said. And since one can't really escape the eventual heat, regular ceramic is perfectly fine over the nano variety. No need to spend extra.

I got the normal ceramic, and the nano ceramic for the wind screen, my car still gets hot when I leave it in the sun for a long time. I really need some more advice on this.
Yes this is a common misconception: window film is an insulator not an Air Conditioning unit. It doesn’t create nor produce cold air. Window film is meant to insulate & reduce the heat (solar energy) transmission entering the vehicle so that it allows your A/C to cool the vehicle more effectively. Leaving it in the hot sun, on a hot day, with no A/C will eventually make the car-hot. This is also known as Thermal Equilibrium. Adding ceramic window film prolongs the point in which the vehicle reaches thermal equilibrium. That being said, make sure your A/C is working right! It’s the best way to maximize the use of Ceramic Window Film. Great question. 👍🏻
@@TexasTintMasters I understand this, the supplier in my country advertised this as some type of revolutionary thing where your vehicle will never get hot again, I always knew in the back of my mind his claims were untrue, but overall, I'm pretty happy with the results I got. I used the same Brand as you in the video. Is there any better product out there from LEXEN tints etc?
@@jddplays2757 Personally, I’ve been a fan of XPEL & it’s what I use in my personal vehicles. The best film you can get in the market is called XPEL XR PLUS. It strikes the right balance between performance, color stability, & durability. Other films of similar performance wear out faster or don’t hold up as good over time. Other films worthy of getting is Llumar & Global.
@@TexasTintMasters Oh man. If someone could invent window tinting that actually turned hot air into cold air, without any use of a power source, they would be the wealthiest person on earth (because it isn't possible).
I've had tint ceramic tint since back in 2011. It's the best thing I've ever done to my vehicle. But if you're paying $1000 for tint, sorry you've been ripped off.
Thanks for watching, but if $1,000+ jobs are too much for you, the Nano Ceramic Film is not for you either. The numbers on the Nano Ceramic far outperform what some of these argon gas dual pane windows do on commercial buildings even though they can cost 5X more. You’re not paying for just the film, you’re buying the technology IN the film. Cheap tint AINT good, good tint AINT cheap. 👍🏻 #facts
Crystalline is legit. I had it on the whole car, including the windshield, and then on the same car had it removed and went to Xpel XR Plus. I thought the Crystalline might have performed slightly better but had a noticeable rainbow effect. The Xpel didn't have the rainbow effect, but the driver's door window looked kind of purple sometimes.
I been trying to get my windows tint and I've been calling around getting prices now I'm worried about what brand I choose...lexen, xpel, global, solargard.....prices from $680 to $268 🤕 I hurt my head calling all these damn tint shops 😂😂
They’re both a 30% VLT shade. The standard ceramic film is charcoal in color vs the nano ceramic film has more “blue tint” to it due to the nature of the extra infrared blocking particles in the film. We recently redid this video on our shorts on TH-cam and @texastintmasters on Instagram. SQUEEGEE THAT 😎
This is only accurate if you tint t by the entire car, including the roof, sides, front, back and bottom. Whats not covered is likely metal and wil still conduct heat into the car, ceramic tint or not.
Lol i love my cars but im NOT paying 1,000 for a tint job no way. All my cars are normally double tinted anyway because i like my tint dark & with at minimum high performance series film or carbon & simply doubling up helps out tremendously. I usually get Suntek brand installed. Not knocking nobody that do get those 1,000 tint jobs but damn that's alot for tint lol.
@@IIOctaneII lol you think only those type of tints have lifetime warranty & dont fade? Lol i normally get suntek high performance or carbon & on my last 5 cars they never faded & they dont cost nowhere near 1,000 😂😂
I do know nano is WAY better but do a legit test. You didn't put the 1st test piece all the way down like the 2nd allowing heat to pass through the bottom.
That’s not how the BTU Meter works. The meter has a detector right in the middle that captures the energy readings. As long as that part is covered it will give an accurate reading.

The other extreme is in the other direction: "ultra violet" (UV) light, which can do as much or more damage to our dashboard and cabin upholstery/leather than IR.
I'd like to see the UV end as well.

You can’t use 2 layers, won’t stick
@@UrAvgViewer Yes it will. I've done it many times.
@@UrAvgViewer you just have to let it dry

If the ceramic tint absorbs heat, doesn't the glass wear out faster?
The tint rejects the heat, it doesn't absorb it.
I've always heard Ceramic window tinting you pay a place to install, should always be a "lifetime warranty".
The ceramic tinting is color stable and is poor at holding-onto heat and contains no metal and not a cheap dye.
Therefore, it doesn't absorb or retain the heat anything like cheap tinting.
The cheapest tints use a cheap dye, that fades in the sun.
Some metals conduct heat and electricity very well, those metals are commonly used in electrical components and heating elements, such as Steel, Copper, Gold.
Some metals are not as good for heat/electricity, like aluminum, which is why people put potatoes in aluminum foil to bake them and you can touch the foil bare handed almost instantly after removing contact with the potato. Aluminum can also be used for electrical shielding, but it's still somewhat conductive. Aluminum can also be used as a heat-sink, because it is conductive, but cools down very quickly. Aluminum is a little complicated to me.
The amount of time it takes for something that is heated, to cool down, determines what is is best used for.
Okay I lost interest in typing stuff, but this should at least give you some ideas or things to look up. I can't say that everything I said is 100% accurate, but it's good enough to get the point across.
Ceramic tinting is the best kind for all reasons, except upfront cost.
@@dansmith6990 where does it reject it. Its literally glued on the inside of the glass.
I’m getting my two front windows tomorrow done with this nano ceramic tint. Will post an update in comments.
@@Josue-rd5gt Can’t wait 🥳
How do you know for sure you received nano ceramic and not regular ceramic
You can test your glass and see what the IR reading is, or remove a sample and test the film sample as well.
Nano Ceramic films will have a more present bluish glow when light hits it from a certain angle.
What brand is the nano ceramic window tint and where can i purchase?
It can get expensive if you have to remove it and reapply it every year just to get a new inspection, especially here in NY A lot of stations getting in trouble from DMV for putting it through, these laws here suck
So why not go crystalline instead? You can get clear film with decent ir blocking
Ceramic window tinting done by a car shop, should be lifetime warranty. Check around. Be sure you tell them you want "legal tinting".
Awesome video! Always look forward to them!
how do i get a roll of nano ceramic?
What is the meter you're using for the heat transfer measurement. What "type" of meter is it (in other words what are those meters called, generically) and the brand you have in this video? Thanks
It’s a Solar Power Meter that reads energy through British Thermal Units 😎
Wow! A big improvement from version 1.0. +1
Can you or do you have measurements of cars sitting out in the Texas Sun using that meter and with each tint?
I’m contemplating getting the nano but how good is it when a car has been sitting outside in the heat all day?
There's a video I will be publishing once the weather gets hot enough to do a documented experiment.
Keep in mind, window film is an INSULATOR not an air conditioning unit. Think of a Yeti cup: If I were to leave a Yeti cup on a roof top all day in the blazing sun, at some point that heat will be transferred inside-this is called the Law of Thermal Equilibrium.
What window film does is SLOW DOWN the heat transmission so that your A/C is able to cool the car down much faster and getting it MUCH colder. The A/C is what cools your car, the window film is what insulates it. Hope this helps to understand!
Texas Tint Masters thanks for responding. Then at what point is ceramic tint not worth paying the extra for? Like I leave my car from 7:30 to 4:30. I would at least expect that it is cooler than with regular tint. That’s really what I’m looking at. If it won’t make a difference then it’s really not worth the money.
@@Stevenyc69 As I mentioned, because of Thermal Dynamics, the car will get hot regardless unless there is a force to counter it (which would be your A/C).
Let's say it takes 45 minutes for the car to get to peak temp with regular tint. Ceramic Tint will drastically slow down the process.
@@Stevenyc69 Any tint, no matter how expensive - or not tint - will make the interior of the car heat up and in about 2hours it will be at the same temp!
The main advantage of 'better tint' is that if you go back to the car in 5-10mins it will be cooler.
Other advantage is that the A/C is working less: You could leave the A/C on ECO mode, as against cheaper tint you would have to have it on MAX.
A/C in cars take approx 10% of the engine power - so uses more fuel.
@@Stevenyc69 I know it's a late response but, I recently had nano ceramic installed on and while the car will be hot when sitting out all day it cools down dramatically faster and bonus perk is I don't get a sunburn driving around anymore lol. I actually get cold even with it being 90±.
Wow this just helped me decide tremendously...with simple facts
Very informative. Nice video.
I got quoted $500 to have all doors & back window covered with 5% nano ceramic tint (XPEL Prime XR Plus) in Arizona. How does that price compare?
Good question
That sounds fair/average depending on your market for all doors & rear.
@@TexasTintMasters. Great, thank you!
Did you used same level of tint sir?
I think for every tint brand they their own different tint variants from cheaper to expensive.
please enlighten me.
Hi, thanks for the great video. I'm wondering if there is a film that in the winter limits the heat from inside the car to be transfered outside through the windows.
This type of film exists for windows at home.
I think you’re confusing how the home window film works. And on most vehicles I don’t really think it would work.
I think you’re referring to the clear plastic that you adhere all the way around the inside of your home window, creating an airtight section of dead air between the window and the interior of the house. That dead air acts like insulation for your interior from the outside, and doesn’t allow as much cold to come directly through the window. So I don’t know how you could do that in most vehicles really.
law of diminishing returns ill take the standard ceramic tint. thank you
Do they make a clear ceramic tint for places that front window tint is illegal and you want the benefits of heat reduction?
Yes.
Where can I get it
Thank you Carlos, have a great day.
Having mine done next week...with clear on windshield....maybe sounds stupid but does it effect radar detector proformance?

It does not interfere with any radars or toll tags. 👌

@@swenmeyer5651 Hasn't affected mine or any of our customers so far. Can you attach a link?
@@swenmeyer5651 Interesting read! Thanks for sharing.
@@TexasTintMasters no problem, thanks for the videos
great video, quick and straight forward
Whats the name of the tints?
If I dont have a meter how would I know.
The glass when I touch it is extremely hot. Supposedly this was tinted with ceramic tint. My windshield which is not tinted is slightly cooler than the paint of the car.
I paid for SunTek Evolve ceramic tint on a VW Passat.
The job was done good enough for me. I think they used the bottom line tint based on my truck windows being cool to the touch.
Glad you asked that, great question!
Ceramic tint is an insulator that traps most of the heat at the glass, slowing the process of heat transfer into the inside of the cabin, which allows the car to cool down much more efficiently.
That heat has to go somewhere. Most of it is kept at the glass and then dispersed on the outside. The reason why windshields tend to be cooler is because of the air cooling effect from driving in the wind.
A hot glass means it’s holding back more heat.
Carlos, is it possible to get nano on electrochromatic on/off tint? If so, do you reccomend it.
Is 700 extra for 50 point reduction worth it
I’m in the valley, do you guys ship that ceramic tint the standard.
Couldn’t help but subscribe to your channel. There’s so much chaos in the world already and folks on here make it worse by making lengthy videos instead of a straight forward one like yours. Keep it up. A link to where you purchased the regular ceramic?
What temp gun do u use
been planning to have my tint replaced any tips about the "crown optic" tint brand the seller said it's nano ceramic is that brand good?, do they last long or do they fade fast?
But how does it work on looking lighter then it is when I get pulled over?
Lol what do you mean?
Congratulations on the weight loss. Good health is gold. 💯✌🏾
For ceramic and nano ceramic tints, are they the ones where you can see the darkness of the tint from the outside but when inside the car it looks normal? Or is that only for nao ceramic?
That was a Fake Tik Tok… False Advertising!
If you wear sunglasses During the day you can see fine, but at night you can’t see unless you have super bright lights on….. Dark is just Dark!
People who believed that False Ad does NOT understand visual light transfer. 🤦🏻♂️
share the Brands and the manufacturers of the tints.
Besides 3M tint, what manufacturers offer anti-counterfeit measures that ensure a customer is receiving $1000 tint vs $400 tint?
I can put any reasonable quality tint in an empty $1000 box and say “you are getting the expensive best quality product, but last I knew 3M is the only bender that stamps a temporary color that says 3M on their films, and good installers show this to customers before they clean it off.
What can a customer do to not get ripped off?
XPEL does this as well with their films and it’s what we use.
We perform an infra-red heat test on all installations after completion and attach it to the vehicles in full transparency.
We take pictures of the readings and offer it to anyone who asks for it. Great question.
I wanna know the upcharge on these plastic films.
1k for plastic film is a lot. Just wondering.
I have friend who works at tire shop. He told me for the brand of tire that he gets for for his truck would cause use normies 1k. Roughly. But at cost was more like 300 to $400.
Ouch.
Damn, is there a Phoenix AZ Tintmasters?
You used a smaller piece of plastic for the standard film. You should use the same size for all the different types!
Also note that the first sheet of film you can see the light between Table and film leaking thru, unlike the other films you demonstrate you make sure no light is leaking thru at t he bottom. Peace have fun just an observation ceramic is definitely worth
Don't trust anything everyone is trying to make money. Tint used to cost 100$ whole car and now it costs up to 6-700
what are the units for the values with that device? BTU per ft2?
Carlos, you look trimmer than the first vid, congrats! What brand nano-ceramic do you guys sell?
Hey! Yes I've been down 85lbs so far and counting. I keep up with health tips on my personal Instagram @carlosolazaba.
We use XPEL Ceramic Film.
My shop is charging me 600 for nano ceramic over the 400 regular ceramic. Not sure if it’s worth the upgrade in price.
Think about it like an investment for your car. With the extra $200, you protect more heat so it gets less hot as fast and you can get that car cooler faster with ac. And if you plan to keep the car for a while, the $200 is just a fraction of your car's worth and your experience in it. That's why I spent the $200 extra recently to get nano ceramic over ceramic.
@@vzoom96 well said! thank you 💯

@@dreadjhon2382 LMAO!!!
So, are those ceramic films dyed or carbon based? Is there a way to find out what films are using which technologies?
Loved the video and easy to follow visuals
Thank you for watching!
They're both color stable ceramic films.
It's tough to know for sure because some companies sell a "carbon" film when there's no carbon. 🤦♂️ Ultimately what people want is a film that will perform well, and one that will last a long time. Both of these at their top of the industry. 👍
Can u help me getting myself out of question.....what is the difference between carbon tint and nano carbon tint???
No difference. Nano refers to a nanometer which is a unit of measurement. Carbon film is a carbon film.
Can you be more specific in the films you are inquiring about? I can help better once I know more detail about what you are referring to.
@@TexasTintMasters i guess, i m little confused myself.... someone on ebay is using this word....Nano Carbon Film, and what all i know is.... one is dyed film,,,, 2nd is carbon,,,3rd is nano carbon,, 4th is ceramic,,, and last one is nano ceramic....thats what i understood after searching internet since 7 days 😏
@@vijaychauhan9613 Unfortunately there's A LOT of misinformation regarding window film. My best opinion and assessment is this: If you'd like a good quality film that will protect you from heat & last you a long time, use a ceramic film and stay away from carbon films.

damn where was this video before i got regular ceramic. my car still feels hot
I got the normal ceramic, and the nano ceramic for the wind screen, my car still gets hot when I leave it in the sun for a long time. I really need some more advice on this.
That's because the heat is still surrounding your vehicle. Heat doesn't just enter through the windows, you have body panels, a trunk and the underside that will transfer heat to the interior. Park in the shade whenever possible to help reduce the transfer. Even if you insulate all panels it will still get hot inside with enough time. The tint and insulation will just reduce the time for it to heat up, not keep your interior cold at all times.
@@D1G1T4L1Z3D I did my research and found out that, you can never really escape from the heat, so the tints and UV protection gives protection where it can.
@@D1G1T4L1Z3D Well said. And since one can't really escape the eventual heat, regular ceramic is perfectly fine over the nano variety. No need to spend extra.

Yes this is a common misconception: window film is an insulator not an Air Conditioning unit. It doesn’t create nor produce cold air. Window film is meant to insulate & reduce the heat (solar energy) transmission entering the vehicle so that it allows your A/C to cool the vehicle more effectively.
Leaving it in the hot sun, on a hot day, with no A/C will eventually make the car-hot. This is also known as Thermal Equilibrium. Adding ceramic window film prolongs the point in which the vehicle reaches thermal equilibrium.
That being said, make sure your A/C is working right! It’s the best way to maximize the use of Ceramic Window Film.
Great question. 👍🏻
@@TexasTintMasters I understand this, the supplier in my country advertised this as some type of revolutionary thing where your vehicle will never get hot again, I always knew in the back of my mind his claims were untrue, but overall, I'm pretty happy with the results I got.

@@jddplays2757 Personally, I’ve been a fan of XPEL & it’s what I use in my personal vehicles. The best film you can get in the market is called XPEL XR PLUS.

Crystalline is legit. I had it on the whole car, including the windshield, and then on the same car had it removed and went to Xpel XR Plus.

They’re both a 30% VLT shade.
The standard ceramic film is charcoal in color vs the nano ceramic film has more “blue tint” to it due to the nature of the extra infrared blocking particles in the film. We recently redid this video on our shorts on TH-cam and @texastintmasters on Instagram.

If I had the cash... totally!
Holy shit. This is good info. I'm definitely gonna break the bank a lil
This is only accurate if you tint t by the entire car, including the roof, sides, front, back and bottom. Whats not covered is likely metal and wil still conduct heat into the car, ceramic tint or not.
Most of that thousand bucks is over inflated by the installer/owner. They should make a tint that blocks expensive.
There is no windows tint can reject +%80 of heat. These numbers for something else.
Lol i love my cars but im NOT paying 1,000 for a tint job no way.

I do know nano is WAY better but do a legit test. You didn't put the 1st test piece all the way down like the 2nd allowing heat to pass through the bottom.
That’s not how the BTU Meter works.
