Hello everyone! Yoshi from N-TECH here.Today, let’s talk about windshield tinting and why XPEL Prime XR Blue or XR Plus might be the perfect choice for your car. If you’re looking to improve comfort, reduce heat, and protect your vehicle, this blog is for you!
Why Tint Your Windshield?
While most people focus on tinting their side windows, the windshield is actually the largest source of heat entering your car. Adding XPEL Prime XR Blue or XR Plus to your windshield can make a massive difference, especially when combined with XR Plus on your side windows.
Why XPEL Prime XR Blue and XR Plus Are Ideal for Windshields
Your windshield is the largest glass surface in your car, allowing heat and UV rays to flood the interior. By applying XPEL Prime XR Blue or XR Plus, you can enjoy the following benefits:
Advanced Heat Rejection: Blocks infrared heat, significantly reducing cabin temperature and keeping your car cooler on the hottest days.
UV Protection: Shields your skin from harmful UV rays and prevents fading or damage to your car’s interior.
Crystal-Clear Visibility: Unlike traditional tints, these films offer excellent optical clarity, ensuring a safe and unobstructed view, day or night.
How Effective Is Tinting?
Here’s a simple way to understand the heat reduction you can expect:
No film at all (baseline): You’ll feel 100% of the heat entering your car.
Side windows tinted only: Heat is reduced to about 70%.
Windshield + side windows tinted: Heat drops significantly, with only 40% of the heat entering your car.
Adding XPEL Prime XR Blue or XR Plus to your windshield can dramatically improve comfort by minimizing heat in the summer and retaining warmth in the winter, enhancing your vehicle’s heating efficiency.
The Benefits of XPEL Prime XR Blue and XR Plus
Blocks UV and Infrared Heat: Protects your skin and prevents interior fading or damage.
Family-Friendly: Ideal for families with kids or frequent passengers who value a cooler, safer cabin.
A Personal Note: Fun fact—my wife refuses to ride in any of my cars until the windshield has been treated with XR Blue or XR Plus!
Things to Keep in Mind
While XPEL Prime XR Blue and XR Plus offer many benefits, here are a couple of considerations:
Slight Distortion on Curved WindshieldsOn highly curved windshields, some distortion may be slightly noticeable.Note: This isn’t specific to XR Blue or XR Plus—it’s a characteristic of all films applied to curved windshields.
Light Tint at NightThese films are incredibly light, but at night, headlights may appear slightly dimmer (think 95% brightness compared to no film). In urban areas or well-lit environments, this is usually unnoticeable.
Should You Tint All Your Windows?
For the best results, we highly recommend tinting all your windows. This ensures even heat reduction throughout your car, maximized UV protection, and a consistently comfortable interior—perfect for summer drives or family outings.
That said, we understand that every driver has different priorities. Here are some tailored options:
If you primarily use the front seatsTinting the front three windows (windshield + driver and passenger side windows) is a practical choice that offers significant heat reduction and comfort for daily driving.
If you’re concerned about drawbacksStart with the driver and passenger side windows. This lets you experience the benefits of tinting firsthand before committing to the windshield or other windows.
