ASWF Window Tint?

Searching ASWF came up with nothing.

Does anyone know anything about this brand? Is it good? Bad? I got quoted to have my windows done for $150 with it (Other quotes were 350-400), but I want to be sure it's at least decent before I get it.

actually, no.
there are three types of tint most commonly used.
-Dyed
-Ceramic
-Metallic

Dyed tint is the cheapest available and the dye usually fades over time, hence the name.

Ceramic is the most used high end tint, becuase a metallic tint will usually cause nav/gps interference.
Ceramic tint has tiny particles of ceramic that help reflect heat. this is why it looks different than dyed tint.


Here is my car with Huper Optik 35% ceramic tint all around.
it cost me a pretty penny at $360 but here is the benefit;
35% acts like a 5% limo tint in terms of heat rejection and UV reflection.



ALSO, OUR CARS NEED FELT(MOLESKIN) TO BE ADDED. YOU WILL RISK SCRATCHING YOUR BRAND NEW ASS TINT, IF YOU DONT ADD FELT.

Ok, so it's ceramic and will have felts for 160. Lots better than 350-400. 35%.

Depending on the light and where you stand, it looks different.

Well there is a reason for Huper Optik worth the extra $.
It one of the best tint you can get in the market with lightest weight, highest heat reduction..etc
You may not care these "extra" feature and just want get some kind of tint done but others may value them differently (they probably worth more to ppl in Southern state like Texas compared with lets say like New York)
