By the way how much coverage would I achieve from 1524mm x 3000mm (i.e. 60" x 118")

It's probably worthwhile mentioning that I live in a gets very hot in summer and mostly year long, and never gets to a point where snow fall is a concern.

Yes, I'm aware that any level of tint reduces driver's visibility (part of the reason regulators impose maximum tint % is due to safety concerns), but my question is more regards any noticeable difference between VLT% & therefore subsequent increase in accident risk as a consequence when it comes to comparisons of the aforementioned tint %s. Given the government where I live don't allow anything darker than 35% in the front side, but allow 20% in the rear side and rear window, my presumption is that there's a noticeable difference between 35% and 20% in low visibility conditions (which makes me wonder why the rear window is allowed to be 20% and not 35%). But where does visibility impact start occurring? Is there a particular variance between VLT that the driver notices a perceivable difference (obviously this would differ between ever driver due to inherent individual characteristics, hence I'm wondering whether a study has ever been conducted on this)? For example: Would 35% be noticeably worse than 45% for driver's visibility in front side windows? Would 20% be noticeably worse than 33% for Rear side windows?

I forgot to ask about Low Angle Haze (LAH), do any particular films have less LAH than others? Is LAH so much of a problem that it's better to avoid ceramic tint and go another kind of tint like SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP

In the jurisdiction in which I live, we are allowed to have 35% in front and 20% in rear. I'm wondering @ what VLT% does the driver's visibility in adverse conditions like night time driving, storms, cloudy weather, fog, floods, etc., start being impacted? Front side windows: 45.00% 43.00% 42.00% 41.00% 40.00% 39.00% 38.00% 37.00% 36.00% 35.00% Rear Side Windows: 38.00% 33.00% 32.00% 31.00% 30.00% 29.00% 27.00% 25.00% 23.00% 22.00% 21.00% 20.00% Rear Window: 45.00% 43.00% 42.00% 41.00% 40.00% 39.00% 38.00% 37.00% 36.00% 35.00% 33.00% 32.00% 31.00% 30.00% 29.00% 27.00% 25.00% 23.00% 22.00% 21.00% 20.00%

If the only tinter providing MEP Films is a mobile tinter that uses more water than normal and I don't have a garage to tint in then would you avoid the tinter and opt for a tinter with a workshop that uses either: SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP SunTek Evolve Solargard VTX Pro Premium Ceramic (by the way, does anyone know where the Technical Spec sheet is, I tried finding to no avail) XPEL Prime XR Black Johnson Window Films InsulatIR IR GLOBAL WINDOW FILMS QDP CERAMIC FILMS Global OZ Window Films CBXtreme Ceramic

I've never had PPF done before and never had issues with the paint on the car looking bad. I usually park in the garage and have had Kia Casa White - Solid on my Sportage since 2015 and no noticeable issues with the paintwork. The new car is Glacier White - Solid I've been told that PPF is beneficial, but very few people I know have actually opted to get it for their cars. I've been told there are many benefits such as: No need to ever wax or use sealant after the coat is applied Stops the paint fading Makes cars super easy to wash Prevents Acid Etching from animal contaminants, hard water spots, tree sap UV Rays Acid Rain (although I don't think I've ever seen acid rain) Repels Water & Grime Saves Water Will not wash off, crack or peel Non-abrasive Self-Healing Properties: repair minor surface scratches and swirl marks on their own when exposed to heat. So is this all simply marketing spin to provide another product to the market without any noticeable benefits? Does the average family car really need PPF or is this more the reserve of the show car, tuner set, car aficionado niche?

1) Why avoid Suntek? I thought they resolved that issued with the easy scratching and that they are one of the market leaders in Australia? Also, it seems most of the well established Tint businesses use Suntek 2) I've heard mixed things about Rayno, with some installers raving about it and others disparaging it. Makes it difficult for the consumer to know the truth, given vested interests exist. 3) Is Ultragard a Australian exclusive product? The IP seems to be owned by GTS FILMS PTY LTD. How's the quality as it seems to have limited installers. 4) Is the MEP Films CNP that apparently are Manufactured by LLumar of the same quality as the LLumar tints (such as Llumar Formula One Stratos; Llumar Formula One Pinnacle; Llumar CTX)? 5)

Hi All, How reliable are manufacturer provided Technical Specifications for Window Tint? I've compiled a list of tints based on manufacturer provided technical data & looking for insights into long term ownership with respect to scratch resistance, colour fade, impact on driver visibility, etc. Basically, I'm looking to narrow down the choice of products but different installers recommend different product lines. 3M Ceramic IR Series IR 35 for Front Side Windows 3M Ceramic IR Series IR 25 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Retro IRP 35 Nano-ceramic Black Armor Elite Nano Ceramic Series E38 for Front Side Windows Black Armor Select Ceramic Series S38 for Front Side Windows Black Armor Select Ceramic Series S20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Llumar MEP Ceramic CNP35 for Front Side Windows Llumar MEP Ceramic CNP20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Ultragard Fusion NX 38 Nano-Ceramic for Front Side Windows Ultragard Fusion NX 27 Nano-Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Ultragard Genesis IR ultra ceramic nano IR40 for Front Side Windows Ultragard Genesis IR ultra ceramic nano IR25 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Ultragard Genesis IR ultra ceramic nano IR33 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Solargard VTX Pro Premium Ceramic Window Film 35 for Front Side Windows SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR40 Black for Front Side Windows SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR 30 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR 20 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP45 Black for Front Side Windows SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP25 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP 35 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek Evolve 35 ceramic for Front Side Windows SunTek Evolve 20 ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek Evolve 30 ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S5-35 Nano Carbon Ceramic for Front Side Windows Rayno Phantom S5-20 Nano Carbon Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S5-30 Nano Carbon Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S7-35 for Front Side Windows Rayno Phantom S7-20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S7-30 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S9-35 for Front Side Windows Rayno Phantom S9-20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S9-30 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Carbon 35 for Front Side Windows ASWF Carbon 28 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Carbon 20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Dimension IRP 40 Nano-Ceramic for Front Side Windows ASWF Dimension IRP 25 Nano-Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Excel IRP 35 for Front Side Windows ASWF Excel IRP 25 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Dimension X DX40 for All Windows
