Every tint shop says their film is the best. Here's the actual difference between ceramic tint and the cheaper dyed film you see on a lot of cars around Chicago.
Dyed film just darkens the glass
Dyed film is a layer of colored plastic. It makes the window darker, which cuts some glare, but it does very little about heat. Over a few summers the dye breaks down in the sun and turns purple or brown, and the film starts to bubble.
Ceramic film blocks heat
Ceramic film has tiny ceramic particles built into it that block infrared light, the part of sunlight you feel as heat. That's why a lighter ceramic tint can keep a car cooler than a darker dyed one. It also blocks up to 99% of UV, which is what fades and cracks dashboards and seats.
No signal problems
Old metallic films could interfere with phone signal, GPS and toll passes. Ceramic film has no metal in it, so everything works like normal.
It lasts
Good ceramic film keeps its color. We install a premium ceramic film and back it with a lifetime warranty. Full vehicle ceramic tint at our shop is $290 flat for sedans and SUVs.
