Thread: Hot Out There? Prestige PhotoSync Nano Window Film is THE SOLUTION

Customer looking to reduce interior cabin temperatures for his Panamera as we are in the midst of a heat wave and driving comfort is important to most coming through Premier. We have been running 95-100 degree days here, so this product makes sense. First off, let's answer some FAQs:

1. How does Prestige's PhotoSync differ from the tints on the market?
a) Dyed Films (the most popular due to cost and availability) - 20%-30% in infrared rejection / Total Solar Energy Rejection: 20%-40%
b) Metallic Films (dying breed due to more and more electronics in cars today) - 40%-60% infrared rejection / Total Solar Energy Rejection: 40%-55%
c) Ceramics (certain ceramic brands actually still use metallics despite claiming none in its composition and will also distort when heat shrunk to fit to the rear glass) - 50% - 80% infrared rejection / Total Solar Energy Rejection: 40% - 55%
d) IR film - 45%-55% Infrared Rejection / Total Solar Energy Rejection: 40% - 55%

E) Spectra PhotoSync Solar Adaptive Nano Window Film (only technology of its kind) - up to 98.5% Infrared Rejection / Total Solar Energy Rejection: 61%-65%

Here are some test results of Spectra PhotoSync.....exceptional heat rejection..actually best we have ever tested AND it will not interfere with wireless signals!

CLS63 TEST OF SPECTRA PHOTOSYNC

2013 Brabus CLS63 in for PhotoSync Nano Tint

PORSCHE CAYENNE TURBO WITH PORSCHE THERMAL HEAT INSULATED GLASS VS. SPECTRA PHOTOSYNC

NANO WINDOW FILM - NOW THIS IS TECHNOLOGY!

Shade of Spectra PhotoSync installed:

1. front windshield 75%
2. front passenger / driver windows 45%
3. rear doors + rear glass 35%

And our BTU tests below - exterior temperature 94 degrees:





Front Passenger Window



Rear Passenger Window

Beside the excellent heat rejection, this window film (tint) is also the clearest we have seen. Prestige Film Technologies knocked this one out of the park!

Shades:
Windshield - 75%
Front 2 Glasses - 45%
Rears - 35%

Expect performance of this window film to surface temperatures by 30 degrees, which translates (depending on vehicle) to 15-20 degree interior temperatures on a 100 degree day.

Manufacturer: Prestige Film Technologies
Product: Spectra PhotoSync
Shade Installed: 75% windshield, 45% front two windows, 35% rears

We also took a video (on a different car with PhotoSync65) to show how well Prestige Film Technologies PhotoSync works with a BTU meter test (measuring heat transmittance). This is measured from a R8 GT passenger side with the windows rolling up and down to demonstrate the effectiveness of PhotoSync

I've been wanting a quality for quite some time on my civic and this looks like it would be exactly what I'd want. To bad I'm on the opposite side of the continent from Cali

Not sure who carries it in Canada, but check with the manufacturer or your favorite tint installer....

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:
