Default 50% tint

What is your guys take on this. Been thinking about tinting my windows very lightly, like 50%, to protect the interior, yet it is still light enough to not hurt visibility. Car is GT Silver with black interior.

Just did 50% ceramic all around. Very mild. Just enough to cut UV and heat. Very happy with it.

I have 50% ceramic tint on my front windshield on my daily driver (35% on the rest of the windows).... I highly recommend it.

don't need to wear sunglasses during the day, and no issues at night.

I think mine is Formula 1 Pinnacle series.

Not unless you get PhotoSync Nano Tint. This product will give out up to 98.5% of IR rejection, which is the highest we have seen in the window film industry. Here's our test:

Durability is very important.
