My housemaster (when i was in college in UK) let his son play in the garden with full of mud/stones in his mouth, it looks disgusting but he is still a health little boy

Becos the Chinese flim doesnt block the UV as much as in 3M,
UV light will create heat and that makes the difference.
3M claimed their flim will block nearly 100% UV where the chinese flim might block 50% if you are lucky

But since i rarely park my car outside so its ok for me, cos i am a cheap cheap person

Anyway, too much attention and over protection are bad for kids, I learnt the hard way
No KC, this is to ease my wife's feeling. Not entirely an over-protection to my daughter.

Yes, i understand the concept of UV entering the car and warming it up etc... but surely having the chinese tint is still better than having no tint???
