Window films use different constructions, including dyed, metalized, carbon, and ceramic technologies. APC installs Ceramic Pro Ceramic IR film because its non-metallic ceramic construction provides heat and infrared rejection, UV protection, glare reduction, appearance and privacy benefits without interfering with common vehicle communication signals. The practical choice is not a universal good, better, best ranking; it is the film that provides the performance, shade, and signal compatibility the customer wants.
VLT and heat rejection describe different things. Visible light transmission tells you how much light passes through the glass and therefore how dark the finished window appears. Heat and infrared rejection describe thermal performance, so a lighter Ceramic IR shade can still provide meaningful heat and UV benefits. Compare shade and performance separately when choosing film.
APC offers 70% Ceramic IR film, including customer-requested windshield applications. A light 70% shade does not by itself make full-windshield tint legal in Washington. Customers are responsible for selecting a configuration that complies with applicable law; APC can review the options before installation.
After installation, keep the windows rolled up for 2-5 days. The exact no-roll-down period depends on temperature and moisture/weather conditions; cooler, wetter Pacific Northwest conditions can require more time than warm, dry conditions. This is separate from complete film curing, and remaining installation moisture or haze may take longer to clear.
Ceramic Pro Ceramic IR film carries a lifetime manufacturer warranty against covered film defects.
Installation or workmanship concerns must be reported to APC within 14 days of installation. This reporting period is separate from the manufacturer's film warranty.
Two to Match, which tints just the front two windows to match factory rear privacy glass, is $190. Standard Tint covers the four side windows, small glass included, plus the back glass and is $450. Large Tint covers six side windows plus the back glass and is $550. Extra glass and removal of old tint are quoted separately. Those prices are firm - we don't charge more for an exotic than we do for a commuter car. Anything outside the categories listed, like a Sprinter van, is custom quoted.

One to four hours depending on how many windows are being tinted. A Two to Match is usually done within an hour or two; a full Large Tint on an SUV takes the longest. After installation, keep the windows rolled up for 2-5 days.

This is separate from complete film curing, and remaining installation moisture or haze may take longer to clear.
Ceramic IR film is designed to reject infrared heat, helping reduce heat entering the cabin. VLT describes how dark the film appears, not its heat rejection. A 70% film is a very light option that can still provide heat and UV benefits.
Ceramic Pro Ceramic IR film has non-metallic construction designed to remain compatible with cell, GPS, Bluetooth, satellite radio, and toll-transponder signals.
