XPEL PRIME XR PLUS Window Tint

The Science Behind Nano-Ceramic Window Film

Here's the thing about window tint that most shops won't tell you: darkness doesn't equal heat rejection. You can have 5% limo tint and still feel like you're sitting in an oven because traditional dyed and metallic films only block visible light, not the infrared radiation that actually heats your car.

XPEL Prime XR Plus works differently. It uses multi-layered nano-ceramic particles — we're talking microscopic ceramic spheres — that absorb and deflect infrared radiation before it can enter your cabin. The result? 98% of heat-causing infrared blocked, even with a lighter VLT for California legal front windows.

Why Ceramic Beats Carbon and Dyed Films

We've installed every type of window film on the market. Carbon films are decent — better than dyed for sure — but they top out around 40-50% infrared rejection. Metalized films can hit higher numbers but they interfere with cell signals, GPS, and key fobs. That's a dealbreaker in 2026.

XPEL Prime XR Plus gives you 98% IR rejection with zero metallic components. Your phone works. Your Bluetooth connects. Your Tesla's glass roof sensors function perfectly. And your car stays legitimately cooler — we're talking 20-30 degrees difference on the dash and steering wheel.

Crystal Clear Optics — No Purple Haze

You've probably seen cars with two-year-old tint that's turned purple or hazy. That's dye degradation from cheap film. XPEL's nano-ceramic technology doesn't use dyes for heat rejection — the ceramic particles are inherently stable and won't change color over time.

The optical clarity is noticeably better too. Most customers can't even tell they have tint from inside the car at night — just that it's cooler during the day. That's how good ceramic film should perform.
