ceramic tint, as you might guess, has no metal. it is MUCH better at heat rejection than a metallic tint. supposedly it's derived from the same crap they use on the space shuttle, but i have no idea as to the truth in that statement.

upside? there's no metal, which means no interference with your electronics. and the car is definitely cooler with the ceramic tints. great for cars with black leather interior hahaha

downside? it's helluva lot more expensive than the metallic stuff. dreamer, not sure if it really is dropping, i haven't seen it yet.

there are probably other options besides metallic and ceramic, namely (and based on the shop i go to) carbon dyes, but not too sure about those.
