One of the most important factors in a good automotive tint job is the quality of the tint film. The type of film used can significantly affect both the appearance and the performance of the tint. High-quality films provide better UV protection, heat rejection, and clarity, all while lasting longer without fading or bubbling.
When choosing a tint service, make sure they offer premium brands of film from well-known manufacturers (we use XPEL). Look for tint films that provide:
- UV protection: High-quality films block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, which helps protect your skin from sun damage and prevents the car's interior from fading.
- Heat rejection: Good films offer heat rejection capabilities, keeping the interior of your car cooler and reducing the strain on your air conditioning system.
- Durability: Premium films are designed to last for years without discoloring or peeling. Be sure to ask about the warranty that comes with the film.
Some well-regarded tint film brands include XPEL, 3M, Llumar, and Solar Guard—these brands are known for their long-lasting, high-performance films.
