My Ride: Mini Cooper
thanks for reminding us that IR creates the radiation and heat build up.
i had my rear windscreen done by FRK in 50% blue yesterday, the workmanship was ok,
i did that because i would expect a chance to get a ticket by the police and would just remove it.
I think BMW, MB and AUDI windows are already quite strongly protected against UV and IR, because i tested my spectacle glasses which react and go dark on UV and IR, and they don't even change colour by much even under direct sunshine under the windscreen.
I think even with max 3m your car if placed under sunlight will get hot because the whole car is getting warmer and it is convected together.
so it is really to prevent UV, you are better protected with a cheap 50bucks silver sunshade.

you can try my car out on a hot day
a few weeks back there was a hot day with the sun on full and I just rest my arm on the window and I had to put it down after about 2 mins because it was hot.
bill the tint is not just to protected our boby parts.
it is for:
looks
safety ( if there is a side impact the glass will not shatter and hit my kids) BTW do our cars have the window side airbags?
block UV
block IF
dose not fog up too

yes get them both and put them on top of the frige and mod them 1 by 1 and not all at once so you get to play and try out the toy.
these is the order that it should go
1. Steering wheel
2. exhaust
3. spings, shocks.
4. brack Disk, brake pads EBC red or yellow stuff, steel brake lines (only do this when you need to change the brake fluid)
