One last question with heat reduction is there a huge difference in the temperature of the car as it sits? I can tell no difference. 

 

 

No.. Tint can keep heat out to some extent, but it's still a 'box' that is being beated on by the sun. Keeping heat out and cooling the inside are two totally different things. Tint reduces heat, it does not cool air. 

 

So regardless of what tint is on a car, if it is sitting in the sunfor any period of time... it's gonna get hot. 

 

The difference will be when driving. I know when I am in my car w/o tint, and the AC on.... the solar heat coming thru the windows is still brutal. If the windows are tinted, the AC does a much better job at keeping the inside cool.

Window tint reduces the amount of heat felt on the skin by blocking more of the infrared spectrum that you feel from the sun.  There are still other aspects of the heat spectrum getting through the film, plus as said above the rest of the vehicle or building is still being heated.  

 

Window tint is beneficial to us because it blocks what we feel from the sun in the IR spectrum, it is beneficial to us and other things because of the UV protection tint has.  

But it will not stop radiant heat which is what heats up the entire vehicle.
