It won't fade, turn purple over time, or interfere with your phone, GPS, or radio. It is the technology behind our XenithIR and VortexIR films."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the difference between ceramic and regular tint?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Traditional tint can be a dyed or metalized carbon tint that can fade over time or turn purple as the sun affects the film, or impact signals for phones, GPS, and radio. Ceramic films block even more heat, don't interfere with devices and don't fade over time so you get a true black tint that lasts."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is ceramic tint worth it?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, especially if you keep your car for a while or live somewhere sunny and hot. Ceramic tint can keep your car noticeably cooler, and protects your skin and interior from the sun for years without a fear of fading. Our XenithIR film blocks up to 93% of the sun's heat you feel which is the difference between dreading a hot car and climbing into a comfortable one. Visit a local dealer to see an in person demonstration. Sometimes you have to feel it to believe it."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Does ceramic window tint reduce heat?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, and by a lot. Ceramic tint blocks the infrared rays that make your car feel like an oven, so your car stays cooler and your AC doesn't have to work as hard. Solar Gard films like XenithIR can block up to 93% of infrared rays and 99% of UV rays. When talking to a dealer always ask about heat rejection, not just how it looks. High quality dealers like a Solar Gard dealer often have demonstrations to let you feel the difference before you buy."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How long does window tint last?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"High quality films last a long time. Cheap dyed films will start to fade or bubble, but high quality films hold up. Solar Gard films are built to last the long haul with most Solar Gard tints coming with a limited lifetime warranty to help protect your investment."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How long does it take to tint a car's windows?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Usually just a few hours, depending on the make and model of the vehicle so in many cases you can drop off and pickup your vehicle the same day. A local Solar Gard dealer can help give you an exact time and quote."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How much does it cost to tint car windows?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"It depends on the film, car, how many windows, and other factors. Premium ceramic tints may cost more in the short term but can save money over the life of the vehicle as they last for many years and protect your investment. Speak to a local Solar Gard dealer to help determine the best film for your needs and get a quote."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can window tint improve EV efficiency or range?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Window tint can help reduce the heat of your car cabin, especially as EVs tend to have even more windows than gas powered vehicles. By reducing the heat entering the vehicle due to the sun your car's air conditioning system may not need to work as hard allowing you to save battery life that would normally be spent on keeping you cool."}}]},{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://www.solargard.com/automotive/automotive-window-tint/#webpage","url":"https://www.solargard.com/automotive/automotive-window-tint/","mainEntity":{"@id":"https://www.solargard.com/automotive/automotive-window-tint/#productlist"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https://www.solargard.com/automotive/automotive-window-tint/#webpage"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://www.solargard.com/automotive/automotive-window-tint/#productlist","name":"Automotive Window Tint","numberOfItems":"5","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":"1","item":{"@type":"Product","@id":"https://www.solargard.com/product/xenithir/#product","name":"XenithIR\u00ae Ceramic Film Series","url":"https://www.solargard.com/product/xenithir/","brand":{"@id":"https://www.solargard.com/automotive/automotive-window-tint/#brand"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":"2","item":{"@type":"Product","@id":"https://www.solargard.com/product/vortexir/#product","name":"VortexIR\u00ae Ceramic Film Series","url":"https://www.solargard.com/product/vortexir/","brand":{"@id":"https://www.solargard.com/automotive/automotive-window-tint/#brand"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":"3","item":{"@type":"Product","@id":"https://www.solargard.com/product/endeavor/#product","name":"Endeavor","url":"https://www.solargard.com/product/endeavor/","brand":{"@id":"https://www.solargard.com/automotive/automotive-window-tint/#brand"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":"4","item":{"@type":"Product","@id":"https://www.solargard.com/product/solstice/#product","name":"Solstice","url":"https://www.solargard.com/product/solstice/","brand":{"@id":"https://www.solargard.com/automotive/automotive-window-tint/#brand"}}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":"5","item":{"@type":"Product","@id":"https://www.solargard.com/product/hp-smoke-plus/#product","name":"HP Smoke Plus","url":"https://www.solargard.com/product/hp-smoke-plus/","brand":{"@id":"https://www.solargard.com/automotive/automotive-window-tint/#brand"}}}],"mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https://www.solargard.com/automotive/automotive-window-tint/#webpage"}},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://www.solargard.com/automotive/automotive-window-tint/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":"1","name":"Home","item":"https://www.solargard.com/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":"2","name":"Automotive Films","item":"https://www.solargard.com/automotive/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":"3","name":"Automotive Window Tint","item":"https://www.solargard.com/automotive/automotive-window-tint/"}]}]}
