![]() ![]() Best for privacy, or to color-match front "clear" glass to factory rear dyed glass. ![]() Color-stables: Llumar ATC, FormulaOne Classic, 3M Color Stable.Some ceramic films absorb heat more than others, which leads to glass feeling hotter, due to the stored solar energy in the film Ceramic window film does two things: rejects AND absorbs UV and IR.If you’re applying tint for heat rejection, every piece of glass must be covered to justify the additional cost for ceramic film (all side and rear glass and windshield excludes roof glass).If you’re applying tint for privacy, save money choose a lower-tier ceramic or color-stable film.SunTek color stable films are great, however ceramics pull blue on most automotive glass.Geoshield has decent color, could be better, and is hard to find (at least to my locale).Crystalline CAN pull rather green or brown, depending on the vehicle glass in which is applied 3M - I like Ceramic IR, but not a fan of Crystalline.STEK films have great color, but lack the clarity I prefer in films.XPEL’s formula changes in 2019/2020 which changed the films durability.Llumar and FormulaOne are my preferred film brands Clarity and color are outstanding, application is among the easiest, and the films are very durable against scratching and chaffing.I’ve yet to use a Spectra film and welcome feedback from users. ![]() I’ve had firsthand experience with many big players in window film: XPEL, Eastman Chemical brands (Llumar, FormulaOne, SunTek), Geoshield, STEK and 3M.
