Breakdown of Benefits
Window tint has so many benefits for your car including safety, style, or in Georgia’s case, heat rejection! And it does get hot here in the summers. The film that we use is XPEL Prime XR+, XPEL Prime XR, and XPEL Prime CS. The difference between the three are the levels of heat rejection.
All of our window tinting films block out up to 99% of those harmful cancer causing UV rays. However, when it comes to blocking out the heat, you can’t beat XPEL Prime XR Plus, blocking out 98% infrared heat. XPEL Prime XR blocks out 88% of infrared heat as well. These films use different layers of nanoparticle technology to give your car that crisp, cool feeling during those hot and humid Georgia Summers.
