Having had dyed, carbon, and ceramic tint on 5 different cars, I can confidently say there is a MASSIVE difference with ceramic. Dyed film looks hazy at night or in bad weather, and carbon might actually be even worse, but this does not happen with ceramic, your vision is always clear and sharp no matter what. It's like comparing Oakleys to dollar store sunglasses. The heat blocking is a huge factor, but you also don't get that green shade of color-stable film or purple that happens on cheap films which make the light coming in look weird, instead its blue so colors in the outside world actually look more natural too
i was gonna say it’s not just heat rejection. look at the difference in what’s in it and how’s it made, it’s specifications, but you covered a good one overlooked. the clarity of the film and how it looks to the eye.
You can definitely feel the difference. I have it on my vehicle. It is totally night and day also helps people avoid skin cancer. My wife has skin cancer.

dye film will eventually turn blue, purple or warm tone. It’s less expensive but in the end it will cost you 2x as much to remove the film and maybe just maybe have to replace a window due to window scratches from the removal.
Yeah like soap and water are going to damage where they drip customers lime you is what makes me keep my prices where they're at. Not sayi.g it's ok to do installs lime that but nothing g happens to your car its just soap and water.
You realize you get 5x the water on your buttons when you open your door in pouring rain or with the window open? Those buttons are designed to be able to handle some water droplets
I could tell the difference on a sunny ride on my left arm as the driver where my left arm does not get hot because of the ceramic tint versus cheaper tints my arm does get hot
Just went with 20% 3M ceramic today after years of 20 and 35% regular film im here to tell you ITS 100% LIGHTER ON THE INSIDE I hate when people try to go against the grain for likes
yeah man i have 35 regular tint on my car and my girl got 20 ceramic on all windows and the visibility while looking outside makes her tints look less dark than mine. but outside hers look way darker
I have nano premium 5% around and 15% on Windshield and without a doubt you don't feel the heat iam in South Florida today with humidity was 100 I drove around with a on speed 1
You just said we're not gonna be able to tell the difference. But then at the end of the video, you said just make sure you know the difference. How can the layman know the difference? And how do we know when I'm getting screwed
The only difference is the heat rejection. Dyed film has been blocking 99% UV rays for decades. If you want the look a reputable company selling carbon or dyed is fine. Make sure the film has a lifetime warranty, if not walk.
Ceramic tint is the biggest scam EVER. I fell for it. Paid over $1,000 for the best ceramic tint and the car is absolutely the same as it was with cheap 8 year old tint.
@@JamarD421 I had it done at Tintworld. On top of that my Windshield cracked this week so I have to get a new one and pay another 175$ to retint that :/
@mjo3275 Jesus Christ, that is NOT a steal man. Big ripoff, but you must have big pockets. I'd scream after the first install price and DIE for another tint at that price. Give me your strength and bravery, lol.
So a standard tint film for a windshield will be as sufficient as ceramic? Wanted to tint my windshield but it’s a it’s a $40difference between the two. 140 & 180 idk
does ceramic film provide shatter resistance? and would it not make sense to apply from outside? Also, how dangerous is to squeegie all that water inside a door panel with electrronics controls.
Idk but I saw a difference in shade with regular tint vs Ceramic tint. The ceramic looks darker and it was the same % definitely cooler inside the car .
some of the ceramic film companies use the ceramic term almost as a gimmick because after you put the b2u meter on it doesnt perform much different than non ceramic
The car will get hot no matter what when it’s sitting in the sun. You are still in a metal box. The difference is when the car is in motion it will stay much cooler inside than a car with dyed film.
Where i live we reach 47C on summer days. Tinted windows are illegal and I'm desperate looking for options. Anyone knows if ceramic tint has been approved?
Problem is that people don’t understand that there are cheap and high quality dyed films as well. I’ve done warranty work on Llumar dyed film from 20-30yr old tint jobs. Never faded, the adhesives failed. Legit dyed films still block 99% of UV.
Yep, non tinters will argue because they paid for ceramic. I worked at a llumar shop for years. ATC and ATR (dyed/metallized) outlasted ceramic CTX/Pinnacle. Color on all was good the adhesives on some. Literally replaced 20yr old dyed film that wasn’t purple. Just peeling. Quality dye and carbon don’t fade. Walmart trash and bait/switch film does
my bestie has ceramic tint and u literally could not see in there from the outside if u tried. however the inside is clear af. also we live in a state where our windows can get pretty dark legaly soo
I don’t know what this guy is talking about. Ceramic film is probably the only cosmetic modification that makes a significant difference in heat rejection and visibility. Once you go ceramic you will not be able to comfortably drive with any other film.
You can definitely feel the difference between a non ceramic vs ceramic tint. You don't feel the sun beaming down on you with ceramic vs non ceramic you'll feel the heat
I just watched all that water drip into the buttons on the door. Hope it doesn’t cause the electrical to malfunction. I’d cover that better if I were you.
Any tint lol. It really just depends on the lighting on either side of the tint. If you have your interior lights on and it’s dark outside you can’t see out but everyone can see in and same thing the other way around.
I paid extra ($180 for ceramic compared to $100 for regular tint) for my two front door windows but it’s still hot af when the sun shines through. Waste of money
Dyed film? People still put dyed film on their cars? Faded purple tint is always nice. Lol! Dyed film doesn't reject heat width a damn. But ceramic film doesn't reject heat as well as a metallic film does. Ceramic actually retains a lot of heat compared to metallics. Ceramics allow for a sharper view than metallics. But they're also more expensive. I don't deal with auto tint, only flat glass and I wouldn't dream of selling anyone a dyed film. Do they not use metallics in cars for some reason?
Metallic films can interfere with phone signals is the main thing I’ve heard. Also depending if the film is reflective or not as most states don’t allow reflective films on cars.
Llumar sells ATR which is metallized. I installed auto and flat. Huper Optik Fusion was most of what I installed. With ATR I noticed the darker percents looked very reflective. My guess is if they put more metal in the film it’d mirror film. Which is fine for flat but not auto. I will say dual reflectives were my fav flat glass to install/sell.
Haha damn you dripping all that fluid all over that customers leather. Now i know when i go to get my windows tinted tommorow to ask if they could please be cautious of getting fluids on my interior

Just a towel to cover the panel. Damn..
Bruh. For real.
It's fucking soap and water. Calm down
@@joshuamoore3846Yeah soap and water on your door electrical parts.
At least he covered it .. meanwhile you got other detailers damn bear power washing the inside of cars with a steamer 😂
@@joshuamoore3846sure soap and water, how about I smear it all over your face !! It’s soap and water after all
Bro was washing that BMW door panel 😂
Before tinting start. All the interior door panels should be covered with plastic to protect the panel from all the water.
It’s leather and plastic, it will be fine

So I'm actually looking into getting ceramic tinting on my truck bc it's too dark in there at night. Hoping it makes a difference
Yeah ceramic Tint is way lighter on the inside especially at night.
RIP that door panel....
I have nano premium 5% around and 15% on Windshield and without a doubt you don't feel the heat iam in South Florida today with humidity was 100 I drove around with a on speed 1
Got ceramic tint today. Love it. Of course I got in the fall but luckily I’m in Atlanta so it’s still pretty warm here.
Or if its a very cheap ceramic film, most tinters will be able to see the horrible low angle haze. Sick video bro 😎 keep up the good work 👌🏼
Thanks buddy. Now I'm wonder if I should get mirror tinted window or the regular darkened windows.
I live in Texas, and after trying ceramic tent, I will never use regular tent again it blocks almost all of the heat
Thanks for the info 😊
Thanks for protecting the customer electric components on the doors

Thank you for this information.
What is the thing you do with the tape? Do you keep debris and dirt away from the glass and film after cleaning and then installing?
Here in the south, you can FEEL the difference between ceramic and non-ceramic tint when the sun is shining directly through the window tint.
WHAT PERCENT WAS IT ALL AROUND
eziest way is...put on a polarized shade, if it got rainbow effect, its ceramic
You can leave the tint that long at the bottom?
Ceramic tint is the biggest scam EVER. I fell for it. Paid over $1,000 for the best ceramic tint and the car is absolutely the same as it was with cheap 8 year old tint.
Yeah you just got ripped off , it’s more expensive wholesale yes but not by a crazy amount , I paid $450 for a Tesla model 3 , nano ceramic
Now I don't call things scams very often but that is for SURE a scam. Anything past $500 is a stretch.

I paid for ceramic tint , it has a cleaner shinier tint to it , but when it’s hot outside the car still gets hot so pay for it if you want

@@NoLurpyup exactly 💯. I have a car with ceramic tints i dont feel the sun burning me as much as regular tints that my other car has
Do they offer uv protection ?
What difference should there be in temperature?
What’s the white thing that you scrub with ?
You can definitely tell a lot of the time!
Where i live we reach 47C on summer days. Tinted windows are illegal and I'm desperate looking for options. Anyone knows if ceramic tint has been approved?
Ceramic safe the interior more then any other tint that’s the biggest plus
So a must have in florida
Ceramic for some reason has a seeker look. For the discerning eye. You can tell the difference.

As a tinter... Ceramic a fancy name to over charge customers. You will get a liitle.. YES. A little more heat rejection.. that's it

I saw that Rivian R1S in the background lol
ceramic lasts about 5 or more years, dyed or carbon will break down in a couple
Nano ceramic tint has a water mark that's not permanent
I would never go to a shop that doesn’t cover doors or seats. Have some respect for people’s cars, specially if they’re new.
You can definitely feel the difference between a non ceramic vs ceramic tint. You don't feel the sun beaming down on you with ceramic vs non ceramic you'll feel the heat

For me I had both was suntek and couldn't tell the difference other than price
Man the guy who did my tint did a horrible job.. I have to back for the 3rd time!!!
Bro u definitely guna tell the difference with in the year
so what tint is dark on the outside but clear on the inside?
Any tint lol. It really just depends on the lighting on either side of the tint. If you have your interior lights on and it’s dark outside you can’t see out but everyone can see in and same thing the other way around.

Bro at least lay micro fiber towels over the door or where u know water will go and drip on
Ok so which tint is clear from the inside?
None it doesn’t exist sadly
Just imagine taking 2 seconds to put a towel over that door panel to keep all the water off it, your lazy AF
So what you're saying is that in NY I'll still get hit with a citation?

Most dyed films from any decent manufacturer are color stable guaranteed. It's a great option for people not trying to pay as much for ceramic.
Ceramic absolutely helps with heat penetration. Other tints do not.
Metallic films can interfere with phone signals is the main thing I’ve heard. Also depending if the film is reflective or not as most states don’t allow reflective films on cars.

This has as much ceramic in it, as a gold leaf has gold in it. 0 . Marketing gimmick
Dripping water all over the panel and electronics😂😂🤦🏽♂️ way to take care of your customers
Exactly, that says a lot about the way they operate. Not good.
You can def tell the difference
Dang y'all just soak the inside of the door panel like that? I mean sure it can handle some water but sheesh
Haha damn you dripping all that fluid all over that customers leather. Now i know when i go to get my windows tinted tommorow to ask if they could please be cautious of getting fluids on my interior
That's not true when u look out the window u will see one regular one is foggy and the ceramic one is more clear when looking through it
Use towelsssssss
This is an embarrassing video. I def wouldn’t get my car tinited where ever he works
Take the door card off. Hack
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lol shitty job boys… don’t do tint like this . Has no respect for the electronic components in the door
Not true bro there's a huge difference
The ending “ ABSOLUTELY “ it’s because it pays him more!! If you think other then you’re beyond a NPC!! 😂
I’m 8 not 32
There’s a big diffence !!! Why do people keep saying this shit
Stop the 🧢 ceramic way better
cap
ceramic and dyed? 🤔 is that a thing lol
Lies
Bro y'all unprofessional, getting the door wet
incorrect information You can definitely tell if you know what you're looking at A dye film over ceramic.
Lol don’t go here clearly don’t know what they talking about
