Having had dyed, carbon, and ceramic tint on 5 different cars, I can confidently say there is a MASSIVE difference with ceramic. Dyed film looks hazy at night or in bad weather, and carbon might actually be even worse, but this does not happen with ceramic, your vision is always clear and sharp no matter what. It's like comparing Oakleys to dollar store sunglasses. The heat blocking is a huge factor, but you also don't get that green shade of color-stable film or purple that happens on cheap films which make the light coming in look weird, instead its blue so colors in the outside world actually look more natural too
i was gonna say it’s not just heat rejection. look at the difference in what’s in it and how’s it made, it’s specifications, but you covered a good one overlooked. the clarity of the film and how it looks to the eye.
Not true. A high quality carbon or dyed film will look exactly the same as a ceramic. Typically the cheaper dyed films will look hazy same with carbon. The reason the ceramic looks better is because it’s usually top of the line.
You can definitely feel the difference. I have it on my vehicle. It is totally night and day also helps people avoid skin cancer. My wife has skin cancer.
dye film will eventually turn blue, purple or warm tone. It’s less expensive but in the end it will cost you 2x as much to remove the film and maybe just maybe have to replace a window due to window scratches from the removal.
Yeah like soap and water are going to damage where they drip customers lime you is what makes me keep my prices where they're at. Not sayi.g it's ok to do installs lime that but nothing g happens to your car its just soap and water.
You realize you get 5x the water on your buttons when you open your door in pouring rain or with the window open? Those buttons are designed to be able to handle some water droplets
Man I remember I had a G6 got tinted the whole day my doors were locking and unlocking by itself. I still think it was from too much water dropping in between the cracks.
@@user-un6kb4uh6rleather, plastic and electronics. It's more about taking care of a customer's vehicle. It's little details like this that separate an ok shop from a really good shop that people won't hesitate to recommend to friends and family. Takes only a few seconds to tape a sheet of plastic over the door panel.
I could tell the difference on a sunny ride on my left arm as the driver where my left arm does not get hot because of the ceramic tint versus cheaper tints my arm does get hot
Just went with 20% 3M ceramic today after years of 20 and 35% regular film im here to tell you ITS 100% LIGHTER ON THE INSIDE I hate when people try to go against the grain for likes
yeah man i have 35 regular tint on my car and my girl got 20 ceramic on all windows and the visibility while looking outside makes her tints look less dark than mine. but outside hers look way darker
See this is why you can't listen to every and anyone on the Internet. I watched this video and ran with why he said...and I can no confirm with my own experience that there IS ABSOLUTELY a clear difference between ceramic and regular tints. With ceramic tints from the inside looking out the visibility is WAAAY better. Form the outside looking in there is a slight difference in shade. On my Durango....I originally had 20% regular tints in the front (driver and passenger window)and 5% on the back. I then changed the front to 5% regular tint bcuz I thought it looked super cool. After doing this I quickly realized that 5% in the front wasn't good. It was waay to dark, especially at night and at night while it rained. Visibility was terrible! On top of that there was too much reflection from the ambient light on the inside. Afterwards I swap the front (driver and passenger) tints for 20% ceramic and left the back at the regular 5% The 20% ceramic in my opinion was waaaay to light for me. It looked as if I had 35% reg tints on it, looking at it from the outside looking in. From the inside looking out it looks more like 45%(if that's a thing). Visibility was greatly improved. The tints were dark but not dark enough for me. I could still see straight thru from one side to the other. After some time I the AGAIN change the front tints (driver and passenger) to 5% ceramic. Now these look much better. I still have th back at 5% regular tints. There is a CLEAR difference between the two. Especially during the day. 5% ceramic from the inside looking out looks like about 20% reg tint....and from the outside looking in it looks like it could be 10% (if that's a thing) it's not as dark as 5% regular tint....but it's definitely dark. If u look, you can see inside...but with the 5% reg....you can't see sh*t unless you put your hand to the window. So in all...this person who created the video isn't 100% wrong about being able to tell the difference between ceramic and regular tints.
I have nano premium 5% around and 15% on Windshield and without a doubt you don't feel the heat iam in South Florida today with humidity was 100 I drove around with a on speed 1
Is that cheaper than ceramic? I want tint that will block the heat but im trying to find for good price 😢😢 $300 to tint my car I was about to buy some tint from TEMU 😅😅😅
You just said we're not gonna be able to tell the difference. But then at the end of the video, you said just make sure you know the difference. How can the layman know the difference? And how do we know when I'm getting screwed
The only difference is the heat rejection. Dyed film has been blocking 99% UV rays for decades. If you want the look a reputable company selling carbon or dyed is fine. Make sure the film has a lifetime warranty, if not walk.
I just watched all that water drip into the buttons on the door. Hope it doesn’t cause the electrical to malfunction. I’d cover that better if I were you.
I don’t know what this guy is talking about. Ceramic film is probably the only cosmetic modification that makes a significant difference in heat rejection and visibility. Once you go ceramic you will not be able to comfortably drive with any other film.
Problem is that people don’t understand that there are cheap and high quality dyed films as well. I’ve done warranty work on Llumar dyed film from 20-30yr old tint jobs. Never faded, the adhesives failed. Legit dyed films still block 99% of UV.
my bestie has ceramic tint and u literally could not see in there from the outside if u tried. however the inside is clear af. also we live in a state where our windows can get pretty dark legaly soo
some of the ceramic film companies use the ceramic term almost as a gimmick because after you put the b2u meter on it doesnt perform much different than non ceramic
Ceramic tint is the biggest scam EVER. I fell for it. Paid over $1,000 for the best ceramic tint and the car is absolutely the same as it was with cheap 8 year old tint.
@@JamarD421 I had it done at Tintworld. On top of that my Windshield cracked this week so I have to get a new one and pay another 175$ to retint that :/
@mjo3275 Jesus Christ, that is NOT a steal man. Big ripoff, but you must have big pockets. I'd scream after the first install price and DIE for another tint at that price. Give me your strength and bravery, lol.
So a standard tint film for a windshield will be as sufficient as ceramic? Wanted to tint my windshield but it’s a it’s a $40difference between the two. 140 & 180 idk
Idk but I saw a difference in shade with regular tint vs Ceramic tint. The ceramic looks darker and it was the same % definitely cooler inside the car .
does ceramic film provide shatter resistance? and would it not make sense to apply from outside? Also, how dangerous is to squeegie all that water inside a door panel with electrronics controls.
Any tint lol. It really just depends on the lighting on either side of the tint. If you have your interior lights on and it’s dark outside you can’t see out but everyone can see in and same thing the other way around.
The car will get hot no matter what when it’s sitting in the sun. You are still in a metal box. The difference is when the car is in motion it will stay much cooler inside than a car with dyed film.
Yep, non tinters will argue because they paid for ceramic. I worked at a llumar shop for years. ATC and ATR (dyed/metallized) outlasted ceramic CTX/Pinnacle. Color on all was good the adhesives on some. Literally replaced 20yr old dyed film that wasn’t purple. Just peeling. Quality dye and carbon don’t fade. Walmart trash and bait/switch film does
Dyed film? People still put dyed film on their cars? Faded purple tint is always nice. Lol! Dyed film doesn't reject heat width a damn. But ceramic film doesn't reject heat as well as a metallic film does. Ceramic actually retains a lot of heat compared to metallics. Ceramics allow for a sharper view than metallics. But they're also more expensive. I don't deal with auto tint, only flat glass and I wouldn't dream of selling anyone a dyed film. Do they not use metallics in cars for some reason?
Metallic films can interfere with phone signals is the main thing I’ve heard. Also depending if the film is reflective or not as most states don’t allow reflective films on cars.
Llumar sells ATR which is metallized. I installed auto and flat. Huper Optik Fusion was most of what I installed. With ATR I noticed the darker percents looked very reflective. My guess is if they put more metal in the film it’d mirror film. Which is fine for flat but not auto. I will say dual reflectives were my fav flat glass to install/sell.
Where i live we reach 47C on summer days. Tinted windows are illegal and I'm desperate looking for options. Anyone knows if ceramic tint has been approved?
You can definitely feel the difference between a non ceramic vs ceramic tint. You don't feel the sun beaming down on you with ceramic vs non ceramic you'll feel the heat
Since no one answered. Well, depends on brand/quality. The good stuff made with ceramic has both UV protectant with heat dissipation. I have a ride that garage kept, over 15yrs now, the tint looks brand new and all my interior is in mint condition, no cracking, no fading.... A certified professional tinter will give you lots of options and will go through what each tint can do. Etc! ✌️

I paid extra ($180 for ceramic compared to $100 for regular tint) for my two front door windows but it’s still hot af when the sun shines through. Waste of money
this is y im scared getting my car windows tinted even though i think its cool i am scared all that water dripping on my door panels lols but if i ever do it imma ask them fools to use plastic to cover the damn door panels don't want my shit fk up lols
@@beexiong2171 I want to get whole car done 30% maybe darker back but it depends on what my family thinks, the only place I would be iffy about is the windshield, where would the water go there, just left it to dry or what, but for door pannels 100% it is ok.
Haha damn you dripping all that fluid all over that customers leather. Now i know when i go to get my windows tinted tommorow to ask if they could please be cautious of getting fluids on my interior
It doesn't hurt your interior and they clean it off anyway! It's impossible not to get any fluids on it while applying it! Do it yourself if you're so concerned about it!
@@DispholidusTypusI actually just went today to a really nice shop and got 15% back window. And got 20% all the way around. The owner was very nice and actually had “door bibs” like a drape that he clipped to the door so that nothing drips onto anybody’s interior. So yes, this is actually a huge deal for many customers, as i dont want soapy water all over my brand new leather doors 😂. And no im not gonna do it myself cause im not a professional window tinter. This is a skill, this isnt just something you can wing it on. Ive seen plenty people try and do tint themselves and it ALWAYS comes out with a ton of bubbles. Lol but thankyou for the feeed back. I guess we can agree to disagree. I just hope you understand that tons of people are just like me. I paid a lot of money for my car. I dont want soapy water dripping onto the interior
