    Hi there,

    In San Diego county, the sun can be intense. I am going to (legally) tint my windows. Any suggestions are welcome.

    A company comes to my house and for about $200 will do the job -- bubble free.

    Nano-ceramics like Huper-optik are amazing if you have the coin.

    I was offered nano-ceramics ... but did not know enough about it. It was about $50 more. Oy. I should have, just based on your one-line review!

    I have Huper-Optik in my VW, So much coolor in my car compared to the wify's car in full July sun. I can leave a drink in my car go into a store and come back 90 minutes later an still have ice in my drink. My tint dealer had a display with a heat lamp, compareing polyester, metallic, & nano-ceramic, and when you held your hand behind each flavor, the difference was perceivable between polyester and metallic, however the difference was dramatic when you tried the nano-ceramic.
    just my preference, I would never buy polyester again, 5 years it turns purple.
