FYI: Don't Treat Your Leather Dash

Revival...

I had my windshield tinted. $100. All of my vehicles have had tinted fronts since... a decade.

Definite improvement in the AC efficiency.

Wish I could but tinting the front window is illegal where I live. You'd think here in Phoenix that would not be the case.

303 is a great product for providing UV protection and I've been using it for decades.

A little late, but...

The tint is the clearest they offer. I can't tell that there's tint... virtually indistinguishable from a clear windshield. However, on a sunny SoCal day I definitely can tell the difference. Far less heat. Further, the tint protects the dash and interior fro UV rays. And, again, the AC runs very efficient.
