Crystalline
If you are looking for the ultimate in high-technology, superior clarity, and performance with a premium look, then 3M™ Crystalline Automotive Window Films are an excellent option for you. They feature a proprietary, multilayer optical film technology that combines over 200 layers in a film that is thinner than a Post-it® Note. This unique technology is the reason a clear film can reject more heat than darker films without changing your car’s appearance.
Ceramic
With the new 3M™ Ceramic Series Films, we bring you the two most important benefits: outstanding clarity and superior heat reduction. By using advanced ceramics and not traditional metals or dyes, our film retains its color and appearance over time. The 3M Ceramic Series Films will look good not just in the first year but for years to come.
Color Stable
Don’t settle for anything less! 3M Color Stable’s appearance rivals tinted factory glass, never turns purple, and provides high heat rejection with no signal interference! 3M’s revolutionary nano-carbon polyester provides an incredible look and amazing color stability.
FX HP
FX HP gives a hot look on the outside but is cool and private on the inside. A hybrid of two film technologies, FX HP combines a dyed film with a metalized film to provide additional heat rejection and improved comfort. It is an economical window film alternative that provides excellent heat rejection without sacrificing quality. Because FX HP incorporates a metalized film, it may have slight interference with wireless signals.
FX Premium
FX Premium delivers good looks and great performance, keeping you and your passengers cool and comfortable. As 3M’s newest automotive window film addition, FX Premium offers an economical alternative without sacrificing quality. Because FX Premium is non-metalized, you will enjoy no signal interference on your cell phone, satellite radio, or GPS.
Black Chrome
Black chrome utilizes a metalized film technology, providing maximum heat rejection and significantly improved comfort. This same metal layer creates a unique look to your vehicle, with higher exterior reflectivity. Because black chrome utilizes a metalized film technology, it may interfere with wireless signals.
Car Window Tinting / Automobile Glass Tinting
Tinted car windows provide many practical advantages and also add style to your vehicle.

Reduces Heat
We all know how hot it can get when a car sits in the sun for an extended period of time. The solar control properties found in automotive window films can reduce heat inside a car, providing more comfort for the driver and passengers. Additionally, this heat reduction will result in better fuel efficiency because car owners can rely less on air conditioning to provide comfort.
Greatly Reduces the Level of Glare
The presence of glare while driving is not only distractive but dangerous as well. Window film does an excellent job at minimizing the level of annoying glare entering a car window. This will improve vision and safety and help prevent strain on the eyes.
Blocks UV Rays
It has been proven that UV rays from the sun can cause serious damage to the skin as well as increase fading on interior car furnishings such as dashboards, seats, floor mats, and stereo equipment. Automotive window films help to reduce the level of interior fading and protect skin by blocking up to 99% of the sun’s harmful UV rays.
Adds an Aesthetic Touch to Your Car
Automotive window films also add just the right aesthetic touch to your car. There are a variety of shades and colors to choose from, so check with SMCS to find out which film makes the most sense based on your specific needs.
Note
Automotive window film laws vary from state to state. Check with your local dealer to get a better understanding of what films are available for your vehicle.
