I apologize for so many questions, this is just seems like an awesome product.

Edit: btw, Y'all did a fantastic job on the install. The curvature of the glass alone, much less the heat shrinking process, makes it very easy to have a small bubble here or there and I see none in those pictures. Also, I really like how the tint extends to the glass' edge, instead of being cut a few millimeters short (atleast it appears that way).
This film will perform nicely in those weathers. We actually met one of the dealers in SouthEast Asia and this product is very well received in these hotter climates. As you can deduce, the performance of PhotoSync is exceptional in 80 degree weather here in Northern California, it will do just as well in more extreme climates. This is because PhotoSync's IR rejection actually improves due to its nano-coating being exposed to direct sunlight. This technology is proprietary to Prestige and from our testing, TSER (total solar energy rejection) gets better in hotter weather.

We have received multiple inquiries to this product from various parts of the country and overseas as well. We actually are unfamiliar with other dealers, so we would recommend those outside of California to contact the manufacturer directly:

Manufacturer: Prestige Film Technologies
Site: Prestige Film Technologies - Prestige Clear Guard, CarboniteHD, ClearVue, Image Capture Film, Screen Protector and ViewBlock

I have found that doing the front windshield is a pain and it seems to provide a slight wavy look from the inside out over time. As much as it makes sense to do such a huge window that would prevent damage and reduce overall heat within the car I not sure it is worth the funny look you stare into while driving. I done it twice and have come to the conclusion at least for me, a clean clear front windshield trumps the film. You guys do a great job and are the best in your area. You have done the two cars I reference. In fact when you started out you did one in my garage since at the time you were mobile out your Prius. I used to call you the four guys in the Prius gang. Continued good luck. You hard work, exceptional level of detail and well trained staff as always has paid off.

Are you referencing windshield protection film? We were once a Clearplex installer and had discontinued usage of that particular film. Reason I ask is because we have not yet had one customer perform windshield application on two of his / her cars.

Within a market that is pretty saturated with window tint, it is important to pick the right product for your vehicle....especially vehicles that will see a lot of sunlight. UV exposure not only exposes the interior components to fading, but is also harmful to skin. This product will block out nearly 100% of UVA and UVB rays. In terms of heat radiating into the interior cabin, you will have to compare IR rejection. IR accounts for 53% of the solar spectrum, so how well a film performs in this category is quite important. PhotoSync will block out 98.5% of IR...most window films on the market are only rejecting 20%-30% of IR.

If installed the lightest shade on the windshield, will there be clarity issues like the protection film? Had that on my car for a day and couldn't take it so off it went. Curious as to if window tint will dry the same way or not. Thx.

Paint protection film is actually designed specifically for paint and not glass. There is a wide variance between paint protection film and window film as clarity is quite important. To answer your question in short, just take a look at the interior photos we took....that is exactly how it would look if you were sitting in the driver's seat.

Just some more information to help members here understand better how this nano window film compares to other products out there

The solar spectrum consists of Visible Light (44%), Infrared (53%), and Ultraviolet (3%). Since infrared accounts for 53% of the solar spectrum, the performance of the product in this form of measure is quite important. Most dyed window films on the market only produce infrared rejection of 20%-30%. By comparison, PhotoSync blocks out up to 98.5% of infrared. The uniqueness of this product is that it's infrared rejecting capabilities improve as it gets hotter...

Some of the metallized films on the market will produce some impressive results; however, at the sacrifice of interfering with electronics. PhotoSync uses nano technology to produce significant heat rejection without affecting items like cell phone signals, radar detection signals, am / fm, etc.
