Default Ceramic Window Tint

Made an appointment with a reputable tint installer for the 35% level. Interested to see how others with Ceramic tint made out.

Had the installer take a long time but was worth it. The glass rear window had to be done 4x . There is no (black masking) edging to the glass and the convertible canvas touches the glass. The heat rejection is about 4x standard normal tinted window and the color is supposed to be completely fade resistant. The shade of the tint looks factory. Glad I went for Ceramic
Two weeks have gone by and the heat rejection is really noticeable. Went to a car Veterans car show and parked in the sunshine for about an hour. The interior ( all black ) was the same as the outside of the car.

I had the front side windows on my PU ceramic tinted to nearly match the rear windows. I did not want them quite that dark.
It been a few years and I am still very pleased! No scratches, fading, or other issues at all. They still look new.
I do care for them and only wash with soft cotton or micro fiber though. No using paper products on the tint for cleaning.

I hope you enjoy yours at least as long as I have mine!

Thanks for the info.
Heat rejection is quite noticeable. We’re going to Reno next week for Hot August Nights and temps run 100+ so the cooler temperature of the Ceramic tint definitely makes it easier to deal with

I had ceramic tint installed in 2015 on my Jeep wrangler. No fade, looks like it did at install and yes the heat/UV blocking is top notch.
