I can’t speak for Flexfilm.... but MOST companies that offer a “carbon” are selling a film with carbon in its name.... I may be wrong but I think there’s only like 2 true carbon films on the market

Go Global.  I would stay away from snake oil salesmen = Flexfilm 

Or get Llumar  but you really can't go wrong with those two.  I would say global is priced better But being with Llumar the name will sale its self.

I honestly can’t remember who offers a true carbon.... I don’t buy into that crap. Offer deep dyed/hybrid HP/ ceramic.  Good better best. All carry lifetime warranty.

It is more resistant to scratches than dyed film. ... Unlike dyed film, carbon film will not fade with time. Ceramic film is the highest quality of window tint film, and also the most expensive, contains neither metal, dye, nor carbon, but instead a kind of ceramic particle that is both nonconductive and nonmetallic.                  This is a online quote that comes up when I type in carbon vs ceramic

That online quote is way off...most "Carbon" films are dyed.  The truest one I know is 3M CS because it uses their patented carbon polyester.  Most others that have Carbon in the name is just a color stable window film.  Even Suntek, which IMO made the term popular, is a dyed window film with very minor amount of Carbon in it.  Suntek Carbon also scratches more than any film I have ever seen.  Carbon is just another way to color the window film versus dyed.  Since Eastman/Garware are the only two manufacturers that can successfully make a 4th gen dyed film, the smaller manufacturers are going the Carbon route to keep the cost down and to make it as stable as they can for the production cost.  With that being said, put Rayno Carbon Ceramic against Global (dyed) in Florida...my money will be on Global lasting longer.  Ceramic is also not necessarily the highest quality window film...this boils down to the specific brand/line of film.  There are plenty of cheap Ceramic films that fade to clear, turn purple, etc...also performance is all over the map depending on the film.  Most Ceramic films contain dye, I only know of 3M Ceramic and Huper Ceramic (both used in the automotive field) that contains no dyes.  This is why they have a slightly silver/reflective appearance.

Search FlexFilm failures here and in the FB groups. I think this quote from the FlexFilm FB page is the most ironic thing i've seen to date.
