being in southern California, there is no shortage of sun and heat

with the summer coming up and temps already reaching over 100F on some days, I need to get new tint done on my car

what is the best tint in terms of UV & heat blockage with max amount of light through?
im looking for at least 50% of light coming through

ive heard 3M Crystalline is amazing
also heard hauper optik being great too http://www.huperoptikusa.com/automotive.cfm

what is the best tint out there?

 

lumar is the best imho

 

Any of the major brands should perform similarly. That is, your car will still be an oven in the sun, even with tint, so any percentage difference on paper won't matter.

Using a good installer who knows the tint he installs is most important. Ceramic (like huper) tint installation requires a more laborious and advanced technique than of regular dyed tint because of the curved glass.

 

I have SunTek on my car and have been very happy with it. Can't go wrong with 3M products though

 

ah i see, i know of one person in LA that does Huper but im not completely sold on Huper yet, it sounds pricey too

true, 3M has had good reputation in the tint world
