Here's the skinny on window tint films. First, check your local laws to determine the legal darkness limits for window films to prevent fines and having to remove and repalce it. Second, metallic films will interfere with radio signals for phones, GPS, satellite radio, etc. Third, most any warranty is for a pro-rated cost of the film and does not cover labor. If you buy a decent product/brand you should not need to be overly concerned with the warranty.

American Standard Window Film (ASWF) (Erickson International) in Las Vegas manufactures window films, including ceramic window tint films, for many of the window film companies.

3M makes very good window film products and is available from most any reputable window tint shop.

Eastman bought Solutia, which owns Vista, Huper Optik, Llumar, Formula1, Gila, EnerLogic, Sun-X, V-KOOL, and other brands. While Solutia companies offer good window tint films they are marketed at different price points. Of these, Huper Optik is way overpriced and Llumar offers good value for your money.

Other products are available from Madico, Johnson, SolarGard, Solar Control, and SunTek.

What Is The Best Value?From talking to many window tinting companies, that offer several competing product lines, the universal agreement seems to be that Sun-Gard (by Madico), Llumar and 3M offer the best value for your money. Paying a premium price does not mean that you necessarily get a better, or better performing, window tint film. Hope this helps!

Can anyone comment on radio reception with metallized film? My local shop only uses it so they can fully warranty it. I believe the GPS antenna is the wedge on the roof?
Is this film a bad idea? I don't listen to much radio but still want it to work.
Replies appreciated as I'm booked for tint this coming weekend.

does any of the tints affect how well radar detectors will work with reading signal out the back window?
