SW 80% VLT Nano Ceramic Car Front Window Film, 99% Anti UV Heat Insulation Sun Blocking Solar Window Tint, Transparent Blue, 20Inch X 10Feet

I bought this for my driver and passenger windows. it was a major PITA to install but it made a HUGE difference. I would get so hot on my drive home 40+ minutes of direct sunlight in the south. I can hardly feel the sun on me at all with this installed. I also notice my car sitting in my driveway doesn't get nearly as hot inside as it used to. Going to be buying more to do the back windows. I Found using A LOT of water made it easier. I also couldn't get out all the bubbles, but they baked out within a couple days of my car sitting in the sun.

Brand "SW" 80% ceramic tint 20"x10' . Very light and almost not able to see window is tinted. My stock windows are very slightly baby blue colored so this addition isnt easy to see. I did only the drivers side window. Installation was ok, but this was my second attempt, and its not perfect. If you want perfect go see the pro installer. This 2nd attempt is really nice however. Use lots of water. The old tint removed easily by just peeling it away from the glass, but the tint was in place only about 2 months. Follow the instructions, but a lot is going on when installing this stuff, so for a non-pro they should not expect pro results. Good temp reduction and i'll know soon about uv reduction (i have uv cards ready for test).

Easy enough to install. I am A mechanical type person, so super easy. However it was installed on a bedroom window that faces the morning sun. Incredible heat coming through the glass. I purchased this in hopes to cut that heat down. I maybe had a 15-20 percent decrease in heat. This stuff is pretty much worthless. Don’t waste your money here.

This is high quality tint. It's not like that thin crap you get at the auto parts store. So if you have curved glass, you need to know how to handle that. Or you're going to have problems. If you know how to work with professional style tint. Then you should be all set. As far as it keeping it cooler in the car. It definitely works! I bought it to use as a windshield protector basically. I'm on my 3 or 4th windshield on my car. So I'm hoping that if a rock hits it like last time. It won't crack it again. I installed it around the middle of August 2022 on the out side of the windshield. Wear the wipers are. So far so good. Over a month of sitting in the sun, as I don't have tree's in my yard. Still looks good.

I did a quick test of this 80% VLT (46% TSER claimed) film next to a piece of 35% VLT (43% TSER claimed) by temporarily adhering both to my windshield and parking in sun. I measured the temperature of my black dashboard after 15 mins and 2 hours in the sun. This 80% film reduced the dashboard temperature by approximately 10 degrees. The 35% film reduced it by approximately 20 degrees. Supposedly they have about the same TSER value, so I would have expected both films to have similar results. However, this film only had half the heat reduction of the darker film. Keep in mind, the area without any film was at 155 degrees after two hours. The 80% and 35% were at 146 and 135 respectively. So, this will help a little, but it's not going to make your vehicle feel cool if you have to park in the sun. I decided to use this anyway because it does provide some benefit, just not as much as I hoped. It would be interesting to see how this compares to something like 3M crystalline if I could find a sample to test with.

I used it on my home windows, it was enough to do 3 windows 34" wide x 72" but because I had to cut it for the top window then another piece for the bottom window six times. The first piece turned out to be the worst and the sixth piece was the best lol. The first one I cut to match the window and because it was super hot outside the water on the window was drying before I could get the film separated, so I kept having to wet the window. The most difficult part was getting the film to separate and I wish I would've had a helper but I did it alone. The film when you are pulling the back off it will want to stick to itself and when that happens just use a water bottle with the soapy solution and spray it alot as you pull the back off or even in the area where it gets stuck on itself. I advice not cutting it to fit before hand but rather keep an extra inch on all sides and use an exacto knife and trim it after you get it flat on the window (I used a wide squeegee made for this purpose that I bought separately) By the time I got to the last window I figured out how to get the film off the back by using electrical tape lol (I am not one to read all the directions which suggests using tape) and I also began putting water on the back as I took the film off and then put it on the window vs pulling it off from under it while trying to put it on the window as I did the first time and found out real quick it was too difficult. Also the tape came in handy to hold the film on the corner of the window while I smooth it out.

This ceramic film works. I'm not getting paid or asked to do this review just doing it because reviews help me when I purchase. These are my pictures from the tests I did. I will be updating with some new pictures when I can find a day with same temp as my no film picture. As you can see it was 90 degrees outside when I took the after picture at the same time of day which happened to be the following day just that it was 15 degrees hotter. Even with that, you can see that the film brought the temperature on the window sill way down and would be even lower if it was only 75 degrees out. I saw another post on here that said the film didn't work because they took the temp of the window and it was hotter, however, that shows the film is working because it is containing the radiant heat in the ceramic particles in the film and not letting them go through the window to the inside of your house. My experiment shows the window sill does not heat up as much as without film, proving that it works at keeping the radiant heat from transferring inside your home. As far as installing it. Its a pain and my work does not look super professional at all but it does the job. I will post more pics later and hope this helps someone.

I went through two rolls almost before I started following the instructions I feel so freaking stupid. Get that damn window wet. You do not know how to put this stuff on don't pretend you do... just follow the stupid instructions --save yourself time and money and frustration follow the instructions!

Does what it says

Bueno

I got the tint which was darker than the picture and does not seem to contain any Nano Ceramic because it is too dark with no reflection. Seller should state what percentage is the tint and change the picture because what I got was not light-tint as pictured.

We needed some ‘heat-rejecting’ film to install on dormer windows which receive intense summer sun (that are not practical to install window coverings on). After reviewing A LOT of products -- most of which were heavily tinted and reflective which wasn’t desirable -- we came across this product and a review by a gentleman named Blake who had installed it on his truck windows. His comments about how much heat the film 'rejected' were enough for us to give it a try. The install turned out well (make sure to keep the film really wet) – and we are VERY HAPPY with the significant reduction in solar gain through these windows.

Good
