Hi All, I'm having some Nano Carbon Ceramic Window film installed on the windshields of the Italian Greyhound. Its advertized as rejecting 70% of the heat and light thru the windshield. With the record breaking heat in the southwest, seems like the right thing to do. I'll  note how its doing on a trip soon. lvmci...

Hi Tom,
Ceramic tint does an good job of reflecting radiant heat. Some brands are better than others, I alway liked 3M, but there are other quality brands.

Hi Dan,
It is installed just like regular tint, on the inside. The tint film has a layer of ceramic deposited on it to reflect heat that comes through the glass.

Sorry Cliff. They say that when it rains, it pours. Tough past 30 days. Hang in there. Hope Sonia is doing well.

Thanks Matt,, I was thinking that if on the outside it would potentially help resist chipping the glass..>>>Dan

Hi Matt, the brand I chose was rayno window film by Phantom automotive service, they have a higher reflectivity of heat and sun then even the 3M brand, in the comparison that I showed in the second photo. that's why I chose them, 844-RAY-FILM...
Dan, LV PRO TINT did a really good job of cleaning the windshields in and out, took about 2 1/2 hours for my large windshields, but their shop wasn't designed for large RVs, they have a 14' bay, but there was an light pole island too close to the roll up door, which required a lot of maneuvering to get the bus in and out...
   They have a lot of grades of tint, all the way to what they call limo, I chose clear, because of it being on the windshield...

Thanks LV,, I am primarily interested in the ability to reject small stones that cause chipping.

The last two years have been hell when in construction zones,, fortunately I have a two piece windshield..>>>Dan
