What is carbon window tint?
Carbon window tint is a professional-grade window film that uses nano-carbon particles to provide strong heat rejection, 99% UV protection, and a color-stable matte finish that will not turn purple over time. HiTek Carbon IR — the carbon film installed by BestAutoTechs — delivers up to 75% infrared heat rejection at the 780–1025nm wavelength range (5% VLT shade) and up to 61% total solar energy rejection. Available in 6 shades from 5% to 50% VLT, Carbon IR is the smart value choice for San Diego vehicle owners who want professional-grade protection without the premium cost of ceramic film. Carbon tint does not interfere with GPS, cell phones, or vehicle electronics. All installations include a lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling, and fading. For maximum heat rejection, consider upgrading to HiTek Ceramic IR with up to 88% infrared rejection.
