At 80% on the front windshield its PERFECT! Zero glare. Years back I had a darker 40% llumar non ceramic film that didn't cut down the glare. I ripped it off after a while because it was very hard to see at night and it wasnt doing much for the glare.
At 20% on the sides - it's a perfect shade for some privacy when I need it, but also when the headlights become a bit much, I can just roll my windows up. My car is a convertible so I can basically eliminate all tint simply by rolling the windows down.
Now for my favorite part. The heat rejection is awesome! I had my AC serviced last year and leak tested. One small leak was found and repaired, and the system was vacuumed, and I had fresh freon added. With the convertible top closed and all the windows shut, the car gets COLD!
I would've even gone with 80% or 70% on the sides and rear but I do like a little privacy from time to time. I would definitely recommend Xpel tint even at the lightest shade for glade reducing and heat rejection properties.
Side note: rear windshield wasn't tinted with xpel. The convertible top is going to get replaced with a new OEM top this fall/winter. I currently have 20% llumar on the rear windshield for the time being. The rear windshield still glares when the top is up, and the heat rejection is minimal. I will have the new rear glass tinted with xpel xr 20% once the new top is installed.
