2015 Ford C-Max Hybrid — 20% Ceramic All Around with a 50% Windshield — Rancho Santa Fe, San Diego

A white 2015 Ford C-Max Hybrid tinted at the customer's home in Rancho Santa Fe with HiTek ceramic film — 20% on every side window and the rear glass, plus a 50% ceramic windshield at the customer's request. The C-Max is a tall, glassy hatchback: a big windshield raked far forward, large front doors, and a wide rear hatch that turns the cabin into a greenhouse on an inland North County afternoon. Wrapping the entire car in one matched 20% shade gives the little Ford a clean, finished look from every angle while dropping the interior temperature immediately, and the 50% ceramic windshield is the piece that changes the drive: it is light enough to stay legal-looking and completely clear at night, but it blocks the infrared load coming straight through the largest single piece of glass on the car — the panel that heats the dash, the wheel and the driver more than any other. Ceramic film delivers up to 93% infrared heat rejection and 99% UV rejection. On a hybrid that matters twice over: less heat soaking into the cabin means the climate system pulls less energy, so more of the battery goes to moving the car instead of cooling it, and the fan stops running full blast the moment you get in. Day to day the owner gets a cabin that no longer bakes while parked, an AC that catches up in a couple of minutes instead of ten, a steering wheel that stays touchable in July, and real protection for the light interior, dash and door cards against the UV that cracks and discolors them. Glare control is the other daily win — low sun coming down Del Dios Highway or the 5 stops being a squint, and headlights behind you at night stop washing out the mirrors. HiTek ceramic is 100% non-metallic, so nothing interferes with the C-Max hybrid electronics, the SYNC system, GPS, Bluetooth, radio antenna, TPMS or the key fob — a real risk with older metalized films on a hybrid. Every panel was plotter-cut to the C-Max's exact glass shapes, the rear hatch glass was heat-shrunk in one piece over its compound curve, and the windshield was laid in one clean sheet with no fingers over the defroster lines, no light gaps at the belt line and no shrink marks in the corners. Installed mobile in the customer's driveway in Rancho Santa Fe and backed by a lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling, purpling and fading.
