Hiya all , hope you are well.
I noticed that usually for car tinting, no matter how good a tint brand you choose for the rear, and side (front/rear) passenger windows .. The shops would usually use another tint for your Front Windscreen .. Usually it would be their 'In-House' brand/no brand tint films , and they would try to " up-sell " you to get a "higher spec" tint with better IRR / heat rejection for the front ..
Please pardon me if I am not fully aware here, because so far my past experiences over the years are only tinting with Independent Tint Shops ... I have not directly gone to those big name brands HQ for tinting before.. (My budget are usually not that high for tinting my cars)
So far... I find that, even though sometimes the specs of these 'In-house' tint films are stated around 80% - 95% heat rejection ... I still find it very hot and does not reject heat well ...
Now I am actually thinking of going to re-tint the front windscreen for my older Honda Jazz , the front windscreen is quite large .. And very hot these few days (no rain) ... Few shops quoted me RM300-400+ for about 90-95% heat rejection ... But I'm worried they will just use generic OEM tints (rebranded to their shop name) , and the heat rejection is actually not at high as they claim...
What would you do if you were me ? Which tint for front windscreen is better, in your experience ? Or should I just save my money ?
Thank you
More than 60% of heat in car cabin comes from the front windscreen. So spend money on the front. The only type (i know of) that is JPJ / PUSPAKOM approved for front is Crystalline 90 (other brands, I am not sure)I noticed that usually for car tinting, no matter how good a tint brand you choose for the rear, and side (front/rear) passenger windows ..

Parking under a shade is more effective than any tint available. Also, if you have a white car, it will be cooler too.
Cheap Tints can be dark but doesnt mean they will block heat.
In theory, you can cheap out on side windows, and rear glass, but front, you should spend all your money it. it has the best bang for buck.
