Description
I thought window tint was only about making a car look cool. Wrong. Turns out there are a bunch of benefits to putting film on your car’s glass.
This is part three of my car protection series and it covers traditional window tint plus the new windshield protection film and why you would want it (and why many will want to skip it)
I'm using STEK NEX+ 85 window film, which is designed to reject heat while blocking 99% of UV rays. I also have STEK DYNOtop windshield protection film installed to help protect the windshield from chips and cracks.
Learn how to choose film properly. Are there trade-offs? How long does windshield film last? What happens when you use windshield wipers on glass protection film? Can window tint be too dark? Does quality installation really matter? All these questions answered.
I'll be living with these products and reporting back on how they perform.
