Thank you. Sorry for the multiple questions...I missed the fact that you answered my questions in your quote. Just saw your answers. I'm in the Bay Area and was going to have you tint my car because I was told you guys don't use vinyl, but you say you do. Can it be done w/o the use of vinyl? Dealbreaker for me.

One of the most commonly asked question is how well does Spectra PhotoSync compare with other window tint products. So we decided to actually put Spectra PhotoSync to test against a 5% metallic limo tint. Now keep in mind, the shades we used for comparison is PhotoSync65, 55, and 45, so much lighter compared to limo tint at 5%. There is also one major difference - the limo tint has metals in it so it can produce some decent heat rejection that would be comparable to a lighter ceramic based tint:

For those not familiar with Spectra PhotoSync, it is a nano window film that will adjust its nano properties to perform better when exposed to direct solar radiation (sunlight). The result is the film's heat rejecting properties begin to change to block up to 98.5% of infrared rays. This video below shows this effect:

Another test we conducted recently. With Prestige Film Technologies' Spectra PhotoSync Nano Window Film. We decided to document this test to show how well this product performs compared to a leading 30% ceramic tint. The previous test was done compared to a ceramic 40%. Test specs:
Spectra PhotoSync 65% (yes, we are using a lighter film to compare with a darker 30% ceramic tint)
*product to the left
VS.
30% Ceramic (one of the more popular ceramic tint products on the market....sorry, we are not going to name the manufacturer of this product, but can say it is likely the most well-known on the market)
*product to the right
Conditions:
Outdoor Temperature: 75 degrees
Test Time: 2pm
Measurement Equipment: BTU Meter aimed directly at the window films to obtain simultaneous readings for accuracy
Test Subject: Raging Gray Bull named the Aventador
