New Solar Gard Automotive Window Film Hits the Market. Considered Legal Shade for California. Ultra Performance, is designed for consumers who seek to filter out the sun's harmful rays without changing the appearance of their vehicle's windows. Ultra Performance's nanotechnology-enabled performance maintains clear glass appearance, while being the first on the market to provide a 75% visible light transmission (VLT) level and an optional 49% VLT film that is lightly tinted. Other key benefits of Ultra Performance 75% include: * Total solar energy rejection performance of 40-48%; * Blocks 99% of Ultraviolet rays, protecting automobile interiors from premature fading; * Suitable for installation onto factory-tinted glass; * Complies with over 75% of U.S. states' tinting laws.
Solar Gard Supreme, is an upgrade to the traditionally dark, sleek and stylish window film. This series is a complement to factory-tinted windows, and is a choice option for car owners who want the traditional look of tinted windows. Solar Gard Supreme comes in visible light transmission levels of 70%, 50%, 40%, 28%, 15% & 8%. Other benefits of Solar Gard Supreme include: * Total solar energy rejection performance ranging 19-42%; * Blocks 99% of Ultraviolet rays, protecting automobile interiors from premature fading; * Extruded-dyed polyester offers dark, matte finish that will not degrade with exposure to the sun.
Both Ultra Performance and Supreme are made using an advanced process which is non-metallized, and the films are not traditionally dyed, which enhances performance and finish. This allows for the film's unparalleled color stability, maintaining appearance without turning purple. Further, the films do not interfere with radio frequencies, maintaining complete use of cell phones, AM/FM radio and GPS. Both lines have scratch-resistant coatings and are easily cleaned and maintained. In addition, both series carry a limited lifetime warranty.
Having problem viewing your navigational system screen during day light hours? Window tinting can reduce the suns glare making the screen more visible. (Example of suns glare on screen.)
*Window film can be applied over manufactured tinted windows* Manufactured tinting (privacy glass) is actually a dye added to the glass when manufactured. This type of glass gives you minimal UV and heat reduction.
Passengers unable to view the DVD screen during the day because of the suns rays? Window tinting can make that ride a more pleasurable experience by substantially reducing the suns glare. (Example of screen being gray in appearance due to suns rays, making it difficult for your passengers to enjoy the ride due to squinting at the screen.)
Do You Know…? Year-round sun protection is important. The sun can penetrate through automobile and residential windows. It can damage your eyes, contributing to cataracts, macular degeneration, and eyelid cancers. Recently, to combat these hidden dangers, The Skin Cancer Foundation, expanded its Seal of Recommendation program. Now, in recognition of the need for extra forms of sun protection, several other types of products have been awarded the Seal as well, including . . . a UV- protective automobile window film.
Babies' skin is extremely sensitive and can burn easily. In fact, babies under 6 months of age should be kept out of the sun.
More teenagers and young adults are being diagnosed with skin cancer than ever before. This includes a rise in the deadliest form of skin cancer - melanoma.
American Academy of Dermatology:
Tinting automobile glass is an option that allows 3.8 times less UVA light to be transmitted to the interior of the car as compared to untinted window glass. In a 2004 study of UV transmission and color tint, grey tinted laminated glass provided the highest UV protection with only 0.9 percent of UVA light transmitted versus 62.8 percent transmitted through non-laminated clear glass. People who are considering tinting their windows should take their car to a professional auto detailing shop, in order to ensure that the tinting meets the federally mandated 70 percent of minimum visible light transmittance through the windshield.

Solar Gard window tints do much more than just make me incognito. The most important thing they provide is true UV protection for me and my passengers. I put sunscreen on my kids every time they play outside. Why wouldn’t I want them to be protected in the car, where we seem to spend a good portion of our time? Nearly 100 percent of UV rays are rejected by the Solar Gard Film. Previous to this installation, I thought the slight tinting that came standard on my car (from the manufacturer) was protecting me and my family. That is not true. Manufacturer’s tinting is simply colored glass, which offers little or no protection from UV light.
The inside of my car could not be called cool, by any stretch of the imagination, but it is so much cooler that I can actually sit on the driver’s seat in shorts. My kids even notice a difference. My daughter says, “Mom, my buckle isn’t burning hot anymore”.
Another benefit of the window film is that it basically binds the window together, so in the case of an accident it will actually hold most of the glass intact, even if the window shatters. Imagine a big, very sticky, sticker on a piece of glass. Now imagine how that sticker would hold all the little chards of glass together after your 5-year-old dropped the glass from his second-story window. Get it? No shattered glass flying around your car in an accident. That is a very valuable feature for my peace of mind.
Finally, I must say that my skepticism is gone. The windows look fabulous, the film comes in a variety of shades so I can go nearly clear or “famous” (please check with your local traffic laws before going to the super-secret-spy level) and the color can match your personal style, from smoke to bronze. There is no peeling or bubbling like the iridescent tinting on my neighbor’s 1985 Yugo. Bekaert’s lifetime warranty gives me confidence that the tinting on my car will be in good shape for years to come. How Does Window Film Work? Tint is created when tinting film is bonded onto a piece of window glass. Tinting film is usually made out of clear polyester film with a very thin and even layer of tinting agents such as dyes and/or metals deposited onto the film.
A common misconception is that window tint is dark and night-time driving is impossible when a car is tinted. The truth is that there are films of any darkness that suits your preference. Also, unlike sunglasses that do impair your ability to drive at night, tinting film is designed to reduce glare and not impede night-time driving.
Once tinting film is applied to a window, the characteristics of how visible light comes into the car changes. Normal auto glass without tint reflects around 5% of visible light (known as VLR%), absorbs another 5% (known as VLA%) and transmits 90% of visible light (known as VLT%) into the car.
Depending on the type and quality of tinting film applied to a window these percentages change dramatically. Some tint are more reflective and others absorb more light. The number you will most commonly see is the VLT% (Visible Light Transmittance). Almost all the official names of films include the VLT%. The VLT% tells you how much visible light is allowed to shine into the car and also indirectly how dark the tint looks.
For maximum heat rejection, look for films with a high solar energy reflectance rating.
Quantum is a premium all-metal film created with a special patented metallizing process. It has a neutral appearance that complements the interior and exterior of any vehicle. Rejects most heat.

More and more car owners are turning to laminate security window film to deter the opportunistic thief. Polyester film can be professionally installed as a retrofit application in a matter of hours, protecting the occupants from smash-and-grab thievery. Some types can protect against heat gain, damaging ultraviolet rays, and road noise as well.
Ultimately, window film is your best insurance if you live in or travel through congested urban areas. The cost of the protection varies by film type, thickness, and size of the vehicle, but applications are reasonably priced. Compared to the cost of replacing a laptop computer, the security window film is a bargain. Questions to ask a tint shop 1) How long have you been in business at this location? Do you have other shops in the area? Good tint shops prosper despite local competition by offering good service at reasonable prices.
2) What type of film do you carry? What warranty do you offer on your work? When you purchase your tint, be sure you get a manufacture's warranty card from the dealer with the date, the window film used on each window and the total cost of installation as well as the receipt.
Good dealers pay attention to customer service. They should be happy and willing to spend the time to talk to you and explain how their shops work.

Can I put after-market tinting on the windows of my vehicle? The main requirements for legal window tinting in California are:
The law prohibits any person from driving any motor vehicle with any object or material placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows, with certain limited exceptions.
However, legislation signed into law effective January 1, 1999, exempts from the above prohibition specified clear, colorless and transparent material that is installed, affixed, or applied to the front driver and passenger side windows for the specific purpose of reducing ultraviolet rays. If, as, or when this material becomes torn, bubbled or otherwise worn, it must be removed or replaced. © 1997 - 2006 California Highway Patrol.
