well I got the tint put on yesterday and immediately noticed a SIGNIFICANT reduction in the heat inside the car. I have a doctors appt next week for the lasec eye surgery and that will entitle me to having darker than legal windows on all windows so I will be going back and getting a sheet on the front window @ 60% that's where majority of heat comes from

They all install different, look different, hold up different and have different specs. Even smaller companies that use a larger film manufacturers to make the film have it made to their specs. Some manufacturers are not even film companies.
Not all of them make their own films but they are far from alike.

Looks like good stuff, though they say 'newest technology' lol. Huper Optik has had that technology for years and years
Beside that point...post some snaps when you can. Ceramic film FTW

Many may use the same polyesters as another but the film is very different. Your comment applies more to films that are rebranded for private lables or chain stores. They still varry from the original in many ways though and cant be compaired.

I went to a shop today that uses this film (Solar Eclipse near Mall of Georgia, NE of Atlanta).
They had a display with a heat lamp and different kinds of tint. 3M charcoal tint barely blocked the heat, Huper Optik blocked most of the heat, and Wincos blocked more heat than the Huper Optik.
Huper Optik is a thicker film but I think it looks better on a car with a color (red, blue) rather than a neutral car like mine (silver). Also, Huper Optik is visually superior (like looking through nice sunglasses) while Wincos is like normal sunglasses with grey lenses.
At this shop Wincos is $320 and Huper is $450.
