The term "ceramic window tint" often conjures images of darkened car windows offering privacy and some level of heat rejection. However, the XPEL Prime XR Plus Ceramic Window Tint transcends this basic functionality through state-of-the-art technological innovations. This product is the epitome of sophisticated engineering in the realm of window films, providing an unparalleled combination of benefits for automotive owners.

Unlike traditional dyed tints or metallic coatings, XPEL Prime XR Plus utilizes a cutting-edge nanoceramic technology. This involves incorporating nano-sized ceramic particles into multiple layers of high-quality film. The ceramic technology at play is crucial in offering superior heat rejection, capable of blocking up to 98% of solar Infrared heat. This not only enhances the comfort of your vehicle's interior but also significantly reduces the load on your car's air conditioning system, contributing to fuel efficiency.

The UV protection capabilities of XPEL Prime XR Plus are equally noteworthy. The film is engineered to block an astounding 99.9% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. These are the types of ultraviolet light most strongly implicated in the onset of skin cancer and premature aging. Thus, with an SPF 1,000 protection, XPEL Prime XR Plus contributes to both your immediate comfort and long-term health.

Another distinguishing feature of XPEL's ceramic window films is their non-metallic composition. While metallic films may provide adequate UV and heat protection, they frequently interfere with the operation of electronic devices within the vehicle, including cell phones, GPS, and even key fobs. XPEL Prime XR Plus ceramic auto window tint avoids this downside, ensuring uninterrupted functionality of all your essential gadgets.

In conclusion, XPEL Prime XR Plus is not merely a ceramic window tint; it is a comprehensive solution for vehicle owners seeking optimum comfort, health benefits, and electronic device compatibility. By choosing this superior product, you are making an investment in quality, safety, and long-term value.

XPEL's Prime Window Films feature a robust adhesive for exceptional durability. When removing the film, some adhesive residue may remain on the glass rather than transferring entirely back onto the film. Rest assured, Auto Cosmetics' professional installers are skilled in adhesive removal during the installation process.

We do not recommend installing XPEL PRIME Series Window Film to Plexiglass or plastic windows.

The shades of window films are determined by their Visual Light Transmission (VLT) percentages. VLT represents the amount of light that passes through the film to the interior of the vehicle. A lower VLT percentage indicates a darker film.

XPEL PRIME XR PLUS™ Film Specifications:

Below are the specifications for the XPEL PRIME XR PLUS series, providing a range of options for your specific needs:

• XR PLUS 5: VLT 5%, Glare Reduction 95%, IR Rejection 96%

No, the window film is not applied to the outside of the glass. Instead, it is professionally installed on the interior side of the window. This is a crucial part of the installation process for several reasons:

• Maximized Durability: Installing the film on the inside protects it from external elements like dirt, debris, and weather conditions, thereby increasing its lifespan.
• Improved Aesthetic Quality: An internal application ensures that the film lies smoothly against the glass, eliminating the risk of peeling or lifting, which can occur with external applications.
• Maintenance Ease: By installing it on the inside, cleaning the window's exterior remains as simple as it was without a tint. Plus, it won't interfere with any window washing services you might use.
• Safety: Internal application means the film is less likely to be scratched or damaged from day-to-day external interactions, preserving its visual and functional quality.

Thus, applying the window film to the inside of the window ensures it stays in optimal condition for the long term, providing continuous comfort, privacy, and UV protection.

Absolutely, blocking UV rays is not only beneficial for your skin but also plays a crucial role in preserving the interior of your vehicle. Ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun are a primary cause of fading, deterioration, and wear-and-tear on your car's interior. Here's how XPEL window films can make a difference:

• Preservation of Fabrics and Leather: Exposure to UV rays can make fabrics lose their color and cause leather to dry out and crack over time. With XPEL films blocking up to 99% of UV rays, the longevity of your upholstery and other surfaces is significantly extended.
• Dashboard Protection: The dashboard is highly susceptible to UV-induced fading and cracking. By reducing UV exposure, you can maintain the original look and texture of your dashboard for a longer period.
• Electronics Shielding: Constant UV exposure can also degrade the electronic systems and displays in your vehicle. XPEL window films act as a barrier, reducing this risk.
• Reduced Glare: While not directly related to UV rays, the glare caused by sunlight can also be uncomfortable and distracting. XPEL films help in reducing this glare, making your drive more comfortable.
• Enhanced Comfort: By blocking UV rays, XPEL window films can also reduce heat build-up inside your car, making your driving experience more comfortable.

So, when you choose XPEL window films, you're not just opting for privacy and aesthetics, but also significantly enhancing the longevity and quality of your car's interior.

When it comes to enhancing your driving experience and protecting your vehicle, ceramic window films are a revolutionary product. Auto Cosmetics is proud to offer this state-of-the-art technology. Below, we detail the numerous advantages that make ceramic tint a superior choice compared to other tints on the market.

Advanced Ceramic Particle Technology

Why Ceramic Outperforms Other Tints

Ceramic films are made of multiple layers infused with non-metallic, non-conductive ceramic particles. This unique structure is what gives ceramic tints an edge over older tints that rely on polyester dyes or metals for window darkening.

Unmatched Heat Rejection

NASA-Grade Heat Protection

Ceramic is a non-conductive material renowned for its heat-rejecting properties—so much so that NASA uses ceramic tiles to protect space shuttles from the intense heat generated upon re-entering Earth's atmosphere. Ceramic window films offer unparalleled protection from the sun's heat, with some variations also featuring advanced infrared-blocking technology.

Superior UV Ray Protection

Your Health Matters

Unlike ordinary window tints that offer limited UV protection, ceramic window films block nearly 99.9% of harmful UVA and UVB radiation. This means you can protect your skin from the damaging effects of prolonged sun exposure, including skin cancer.

Enhanced Optical Clarity

See the World More Clearly

Traditional window films often require darker shades to offer effective UV and heat protection. Ceramic tints provide the same level of protection but allow for lighter shades, giving drivers a clearer and more comfortable view of the road.

Crystal-Clear Signal Strength

Stay Connected

Ceramic tints won't interfere with the signal quality of your electronic devices. When you're on the road, especially in emergency situations, maintaining strong cell phone reception is crucial.

Added Security Benefits

Protect Your Valuables

Tinting your windows inherently adds a level of privacy, making it difficult for potential thieves to peer into your car. With ceramic window films, you get this benefit without sacrificing visual clarity.

While ceramic window films offer top-of-the-line benefits, they are a premium product with a price to match. At Auto Cosmetics, we are committed to providing only the highest quality products, which is why we exclusively offer PRIME XR and PRIME XR PLUS.

Premium Cost

Investment Consideration

The most apparent disadvantage of ceramic window films is their initial cost. However, for those who prioritize quality and long-term benefits, this is an investment that pays off in durability, UV protection, and superior heat rejection.

Exclusive High-Quality Options

Commitment to Excellence

Auto Cosmetics focuses on providing only the best. We offer:

• PRIME XR - Starting at $449 for compact vehicles, this single-layer ceramic film provides 1,000 SPF, 99% UV Ray Protection, and up to 88% infrared rejection.
• PRIME XR PLUS - Starting at $649 for compact vehicles, this multi-layer ceramic film not only offers 1,000 SPF and 99% UV Ray Protection but also features up to 98% infrared rejection for even better heat control.

*Pricing for larger vehicles is slightly higher.

Though these are premium options, their performance and durability offer outstanding value, making the investment worthwhile for those who want the best.

Introduction

Auto Cosmetics is committed to offering only the most superior window tinting solutions, namely PRIME XR and PRIME XR PLUS. We focus solely on ceramic window tints because of their unmatched benefits in terms of UV protection, heat rejection, and clarity. Below, we compare ceramic tints with other types of window films to showcase why ceramic films are the ultimate choice for your vehicle.

Polyester Dyes: Basic but Limited

While polyester-based dyes are budget-friendly and effective in reducing glare, they lack in two significant areas:

• UV Protection: They don't provide substantial UV protection, leaving your vehicle's interiors susceptible to fading over time.
• Heat Rejection: These films are not highly effective in keeping your car cool, especially during hot summer days.

Our ceramic films, on the other hand, offer superior UV protection and effective heat rejection, providing an altogether more comfortable and safe driving experience.

Metallic Dyes: Good but Problematic

Metallic dyes have a few merits but also significant drawbacks:

• UV Reflection: They can reflect UV radiation effectively but not as efficiently as ceramic tints.
• Signal Interference: The metallic elements in the film interfere with electronic signals, affecting the quality of your mobile phone reception and GPS.

In contrast, our ceramic window films ensure crystal-clear signal quality without compromising on UV and heat protection.

Carbon Color Stable Films: Durable but Inadequate

These films are known for their durability and color stability but are not the best in terms of:

• UV Protection: While better than polyester dyes, they still cannot match ceramic films.
• Heat Rejection: Again, not as effective as ceramic films in keeping your car's interior cool.

Crystalline Window Tints: Heat Resistant but Not Ideal

Crystalline films are good for heat resistance but have limitations:

• Clarity: They do not offer the level of clarity that ceramic films provide.
• UV Protection: Still not as effective as ceramic in blocking harmful UV rays.

Why Choose Auto Cosmetics?

We exclusively offer PRIME XR and PRIME XR PLUS ceramic tints, ensuring that you get only the best for your vehicle. These tints provide:

• Unparalleled UV Protection: Blocks up to 99% of harmful UVA and UVB rays.
• Exceptional Heat Rejection: Up to 98% Infrared heat rejection with PRIME XR PLUS.
• Superior Clarity: Enjoy clear visibility without compromising on protection.
• Crystal Clear Signal: No interference with electronic devices.

If you're looking for the best, you don't need to look any further. Book your appointment now for the ultimate window tinting experience.

Introduction: The Myth of Darker Tints

It's a common misconception that darker window tints offer the best protection against UV rays and heat. While this may have been true in the past, advancements in tinting technology have redefined the standards of protection. At Auto Cosmetics, we use XPEL's state-of-the-art ceramic tints that offer superior protection without requiring darker shades.

Historical Perspective: The Darker, The Better?

In the past, the efficacy of a window tint was often judged by its darkness. Darker shades were generally considered better at:

• Blocking UV Rays: Offering a shield against harmful ultraviolet rays that cause skin cancer and fade interiors.
• Heat Rejection: Lowering the temperature inside the vehicle by reflecting or absorbing heat.

The Game-Changer: Infrared (IR) Coatings

XPEL, among other leading companies, has revolutionized the industry with new IR (infrared) coatings. These coatings:

• Block Infrared Rays: Significantly reducing heat build-up inside your car, often without a need for darker shades.
• Maintain Clarity: Offer high levels of protection while allowing for greater visibility and aesthetic appeal.

Ceramic Tints: The Best of Both Worlds

Our exclusive PRIME XR and PRIME XR PLUS ceramic tints utilize this advanced technology to provide:

• Up to 99% UV Ray Protection: Guarding you and your car's interior against harmful UV rays.
• Up to 98% Infrared Rejection: For PRIME XR PLUS, keeping your car interior much cooler.
• Greater Clarity: Ensuring you have a clear view of the road ahead without compromising on protection.

Conclusion: Don't Be Fooled by Darkness

While darker tints were once considered more effective, today's advanced ceramic tints like those we offer at Auto Cosmetics allow for high levels of protection without the need for darker shades. This means you can enjoy a cool, UV-protected environment in your car without compromising visibility.

Understanding Value vs. Cost

While the initial cost of XPEL Prime XR Plus ceramic tint may seem high, it's crucial to consider the long-term value it offers. The product's premium features provide an unparalleled level of protection and convenience that justify the initial investment.

Unmatched UV and Heat Protection

The advanced ceramic technology in Prime XR Plus blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays and up to 98% of infrared rays. This provides a safer, more comfortable driving experience and protects your vehicle's interior from fading and deterioration.

Clarity and Aesthetics

Prime XR Plus doesn't just offer top-tier protection; it also maintains exceptional visual clarity. The ceramic technology avoids the 'foggy' or 'cloudy' appearance that lesser-quality films might have. Your view of the road will remain crystal clear while your vehicle benefits from effective thermal insulation.

Preserving Signal Integrity

Unlike some metallic tints, the ceramic tint in Prime XR Plus does not interfere with cell phone, GPS, or radio signals. In an era where connectivity is crucial, this is a feature you can't afford to overlook.

Longevity and Durability

The high-quality materials used in Prime XR Plus are designed to last, reducing the frequency of replacements. This contributes to the overall value, making the initial investment more cost-effective over time.

Peace of Mind

The comprehensive protection and enhanced durability of a ceramic window film like Prime XR Plus add a layer of security and peace of mind that is hard to put a price on.

Why Choose Auto Cosmetics

We offer only the highest quality products like Prime XR and Prime XR Plus to ensure that you get the best value for your investment. The combination of superior UV and heat protection, crystal clear clarity, and signal preservation makes this product unmatched in today's market.
