I'm new to Ceramic tint... never heard of it until this Forum. Sounds great! So much better than the old stuff.
I have a shop near by that sales Evolve Premium Ceramic Tint.
I saw on their web site that they have 90% and Clear. They say (on their site) both will block 94% of infrared heat and provide 99% or greater UV protection even though they are clear? I was thinking 90% for the front windshield? And matching the side windows with the tint already on the back. Is this true?

I think you might want to use the 0% on the windshield.
Other way around, 0% tint would let 0% of light to pass through your window.
The Clear on the web site has no tint and the 90% is close to clear

When I installed window tint back in the early ‘80’s, the number assigned to the film indicated how much light was transmitted. So an auto tint of 20 indicated 20% light transmittance. An auto tint of 30 indicated a light transmittance of 30%. And an auto tint of 50 indicated and light transmittance of 50%. Times have changed..
Any one else notice a slight haze with their ceramic tint? I’ve been thinking it will fade with time but when direct sun is on it I notice it not being perfectly clear. The older non-ceramic tints I’ve had done didn’t seem to be as noticeable. SunTek CIR 30 black is what I have.
100% recommend ceramic tint for heat reduction and UV protection.
Know your state laws on window tint, Google is your friend. Ideally, the tint shop will not sell you something illegal or something that won't pass inspection.
Good luck!

Can you be more specific as to what NC doesn’t allow?
I put 50% on my windshield and it did not affect it.
Anything 32% or less is "illegal" or non passable. Unless you know a guy
What type of tint, % etc did you use for the windshield? Thanks !
Great color.
I finally got around to tinting Miss Daisy with the ceramic type of tint. Every window has tint on it. Even the sunroof, and windshield. It makes a huge difference in heat gain. The now much darker rear glass is great for privacy, negating the need for one of those retractable cargo area covers.

I thought about doing the windshield but I passed because of the frequent cracking of it.
I did all the other windows but I thought if the windshield cracks once every year or so which is likely I'll have to keep on retinting the front windshield. Which is very expensive
I hold the receipt and insurance covers the re-tint when replacing windshield
Do you pay a deductible?
Not for window replacement. (But sure pay a lot per month)
