    1 Data shown is the estimated performance of film applied to ¼” (6mm) thick, 73% VLT automotive green glass. Data is for reference only.

    2 TSER (Total Solar Energy Rejection) - The percentage of total solar energy rejected by filmed glass. The higher this value, the less solar heat is transmitted.

    3 IRER - Percent of solar infrared energy that is rejected over the wavelength range from 780 nm to 2,500 nm. IRER takes into account the transmitted and absorbed IR energy that will be reradiated into a car. Data shown is for the performance of the film applied to glass.

    4 Infrared Rejection (IRR) - Percent of solar infrared energy in the 900 – 1,000 nm wavelength range that is rejected by the car tinting film. Measurement is made of film with liner alone (i.e., no glass).

    5 The visible light transmittance (VLT) values provided are based on measurements conducted on clear glass.


Cover your glass in cool.

  • After thirty (30) days, you may clean 3M™ car window tints using normal household cleaning solutions, including ammonia-based products: e.g., Windex, and a soft, lint-free cloth or towel. You may also use a squeegee to clean the films. Abrasive products which would scratch or damage the film should not be used.
  • VLT standards i.e. safety glass with 70% VLT for front and rear and 50% VLT for side window are permissible for use
