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...

Hi Tom. Does the tint come in Ceramic also or just in clear? Thanx buddy!

Thanks Matt.
Hi Van, yes clear to what they call limo, a dark tint, all of them with the nano ceramic, tom...

Nice! Been wanting to do my windshield, good news is now I have till next spring to do it now that we are winter bound. There has been some really good vibes on the POG sites about that stuff. Did you get any extra material incase you ever have to replace a windshield outta state? just a thought.

Hows the coach holding up?

Van, I am unsure windshields are legal to tint, that's why I chose no tint. Gary got his little Mini Cooper done and it was great.
Bus is doing good, we just got back from the Mountains, with those big winds with toad, and did good going thru the Gorge.
Didn't think to get extra...

A lot of the better window tinting outfits sell this.

In most states the official answer is that you cannot tint your windshield however cops are only looking for dark tint. If anyone asks you you can say it is a protective coating and they aren't going to want to waste their time for a ticket they will lose in court.

The laws are all over the place and to keep things more confusing most modern cars come with glass that is technically illegal in most states but is allowed because it is OEM. Nobody can give me an answer as to why aftermarket tint is any different than OEM in a safety perspective.

Here is AAA list of states with allowable tint. I don't know if this pretains to an rv.
