Or, get a dashmat.
yeah pretty sure all car glass resists UV, but yeah the heat I imagine had a lot to do with it.

You are correct... and I was mistaken. Aside from all the math and science... the interior of my cars are much cooler after the windshield "tint". The dash(es) are far, far, less hot. No placebo.

Definately worth the $100 although IIsuspect that if you were in Ontario it wouldn't so much matter.

oh no you are 100% correct .. it can really cook up here in the summer ( not texas heat mind you ) .. My son put 5% in his car and he said it made a world of difference..
