There are several types of car window tinting and they each have their own properties, but they all offer to reduce the heat in the vehicles they are applied to. Color stable window tint, for instance, can block up to 57% of total solar energy, whereas 3M Ceramic IR window tint can reduce infrared heat by up to 95%. Not only can these tints block heat, but they will also offer to prevent your upholstery from fading.
