Called tint shop for ceramic quote (madico or Johnson) window tint, He told me llumar has latest guaranteed non-interfering ceramic type-nondyed-nonmetal film- LLUMAR-AXCESS and recommending highly. I said I will make decisiopn by this weekend.
Compare Solar heat rejection (Madico has 53% rejection, Johnson has 54% and Axcess has 40%), this is important as all other films have 99-99.5% UV rejection. I prefer Johnson-Insulatir(better glare and solar heat reduction).
Anyone heard / tried llumar Axcess ?
Any thoughts?

Llumax Axcess is pretty new I guess... haven't seen any tinters carry it.
Since you going ceramic, why not go with Formulaone? I think they best in Ceramic and 2nd is Huper Optik

Llumar sucks! I tried it and it honestly sucked! After a while it starts giving off a very weird metallic tint!
I switched to V-Kool <---- its far better than Llumar! www.v-kool.com

My Ride: 2007 530i Alpine White with Navi and Premium PackageIn progress: OEM Mtech kit, H&R Sport Springs, and 19
I am in San Antonio and just got Huper Optik two days ago and all I can say is WOW, the heat reduction is unbelievable!! I paid $399 and thought it was too much but on the first day driving home I felt no heat from the windows and it was 102 degrees outside and we had the ac fan on the lowest setting. Huper Optik is awesome!!!

Yes I highly recommend V-Kool. The best film I've ever used for my car, coming from a number of different cars and tints. Keeps my car pretty good from heat and what not, my car stays cool or only gets a bit warm when I leave it in the sun for awhile. The only problem I find is that, the darker you go with V-Kool, the less heat and UV rejection you have, but thats probably the case for all films anyways. Go with V-Kool, you won't regret it.
It looks like V-Kool is an excellent product. However it is the most unknown by almost all installers and not available in most areas. It also requires special installation.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get it. Like in Dallas Texas area?
