Decided to get best PPF; hood, front fenders, front bumper, headlights, and side mirrors for $2.4K by the most reputable company in Central Florida. Now I’m on the fence about tinting. 28% is the legal limit (I think) in Florida but I’m thinking 35% for all but windshield. Honest Question: If a car isn’t in the sun other than when driving (saving upholstery) and the AC works great (cooling), what purpose(s) does tinting serve or is just esthetics? Please help me out here as I’ve never had tinting before.
For me, tint is also just a nice privacy thing. Makes it harder for people to stare at you or inside your car all the time.Tinting helps reduce glare and sun directly on you, so you’re more comfortable. There’s some pretty awesome tint materials that actually reduce heat too. Less heat coming in means less AC needed. Not sure how it works. Xpel dealer showed it to me a couple of weeks ago while I was shopping for ppf, tint, and ceramic. They had this light box setup where I could feel the heat reduction (on my hand) as he cycled thru the 3 types of tint materials they offered.
