mainly heat - but the installer also usually warranties the ceramic tint longer.

You won’t feel the UV rays as much through your drivers window.

I had ceramic tint on my last vehicle and I received dealer/3rd party installed tint on the my 2024 dealer lot inventory purchase (I negotiated to have the tint charge removed).

I could immediately tell on the drive home that it was not premium ceramic tint. I could feel the heat rejection was not as strong.

I plan of having the cheap window tint removed and have it replaced with ceramic window film.

Do you recall the price difference between the 2 types?

Heat reduction and the tint guys LOVE to sell you ceramic. Their margins are about double that of regular tint. Cost to them is not much more for the tint, the labor time is the same and they can charge a lot more for ceramic.
