Thread: Maserati MC - Project of the Week - No Kidding

With all the window films we have tested and used over the years (dyed, metallic, ceramic, and basic IR), PhotoSync trumps them all. As the temperature continues to rise, there needs to be a superior tint to protect the occupants and interior

For more information on how well this transitional IR film performs, check out our tests below:

NANO WINDOW FILM - NOW THIS IS TECHNOLOGY!

2013 Brabus CLS63 in for PhotoSync Nano Tint


Edges shaved, so you do not see any gap with the PhotoSync Nano Tint application

PhotoSync does come in the following shades (represented in "VLT" - visible light transmision)

PhotoSync? - Prestige Film Technologies

75%
65%
45%

***Keep in mind, according to the manufacturer, their "Solar Adaptive Coating" is what's truly unique about this nano tint. The performance of this tint actually improves as it gets hotter. Another effect of their Solar Adaptive Coating is that the film actually darkens when the sun gets more intense....by up to 11%! We had confirmed this effect as well.

We have used the various products on the market before such as dyed, metallic, ceramic, & hybrids and so far, this is one product that is technologically advanced to match the technology of luxury cars today.

Very nice work! One question, you tinted the windshield? That is a definite 'no-no' without a physician's letter here in Texas.

Later,

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.

Amazing job!

How does the paint look in real life compared to a paint without the protector?

Do you know anyone in Europe/UK using the same material?

Again, amazing job!

Looks like you guys did a great job, but if I had to nitpick one thing...those front diffusers will not function properly with where they are mounted.

Can you elaborate for us uninformed please?

Some have asked us how it compares to Huper and Madico's Ceramic. From our experience and perspective, both of these products will have distortions in the rear glass resulting from heat shrinking. It is absolutely necessary to heat shrink the window film to get it to conform to the curvature of the rear glass and the heat shrinking process distorts the composition of the ceramics. These will actually look like metallic distortions that can be seen in direct sunlight.

On PhotoSync, you will not get any of these issues. From direct experience these ceramic products also can affect keyless entry systems in BMWs and Audis and also affect other wireless transmission signals such as AM / FM, radar, etc.

Another difference is the heat rejection capabilities. The products above, based on our own testing, rejects approximately 80%-85% of IR whereas PhotoSync blocks out up to 98.5% of IR. This is extremely significant for those living in the hotter climates.

For those not in our area, contact the manufacturer directly to see who is in their area - Prestige Film Technologies - Prestige Clear Guard, CarboniteHD, ClearVue, Image Capture Film, Screen Protector and ViewBlock

And for more projects with this film, just Google "Spectra PhotoSync"

Absolutely love your work, amazing job!
