Clear Window Tint for UVA/B Rays??

Have an inbound 993TT that was majorly worked over by Porsche Exclusiv (e.g., custom color leather headliner/seats/stalks/control buttons/steering wheel/window buttons/dash, etc. -- the first owner was a real freak). While I have a car cover/window screen on the way and will garage the car, I was wondering if CLEAR window tint exists that fully blocks UVA and UVB rays?

I'm trying to minimize how much the inside of the car heats up to preserve the custom colored leather interior for the long haul. Does CLEAR tint exist and has anyone had experience with it? (Don't want to go with color tint as I really like the look of the 999 paint against the clear windows and would like to keep it that way.)

Thanks. Will post pics of the car once THE BEAST arrives the first or second week of July. I'm chomping at the bit.

Best,

DAVID

David, welcome to the 6 man. Yes there are several manufacturers that have a clear tint that minimizes the UV exposure to the inside of the automobile. I went with 20% because my wife has skin cancer and I got a fix-it ticket from the California CHP. I think it was envy and jealously myself, but it is the law.

Can't you get a doctor's prescription for the tint that would allow you to have it? I know that that is allowed in a number of states.
