[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Blue"]Long story short, we have tested a windshield protection film for a manufacturer from 5 years ago and there was just not enough durability for us at Premier to back it. Fast forward to 2010, we have been testing this new product by Prestige Films Technology who have developed a clear windshield protection film in late 2009. We have tested and used this product extensively and now are confident in its protective capabilities, but also its durability and clarity. One of our major concerns would be wiper scratches. To date, we have put over 15k miles onto our daily drivers and we do not see this as an issue. Below are some specs to the product:

Manufacturer: Prestige Films Technology
Product: Diamond Fusion Windshield Protection Film
Warranty: 2 year 20,000 miles from bubbling, fading, peeling, purpling, and cracking
Thickness: 4.2 mils
Purpose: Minimize rock chip / road debris damage & to retain OEM glass
UV Rejection: 99.5%
VLT (visible light transmission) - 80% (factory glass is typically 82%-85%)
Heat Rejection: 10% TSER (total solar energy rejection - minimal heat rejection, but better than none)
**does not interfere with radar, am / fm, and other wireless signals

After extensive testing, we are confident in placing this product onto our customers vehicles. For those outside of our coverage area (norcal and socal), please direct your inquiries to Prestige for local installers - sales@prestige-films.com

 

This is good news. I would love to have it on my windshield.

 

Wish I had this before my windshield cracked! Will definitely look into it for the next one.

 

Interesting stuff. Heard of tint it film on the inside but never on the outside.

 

Applications:

-Automotive
-Fleet vehicles (auto rental companies)
-Trucks, big rigs, RVs

 

And here is a good reason to retain OEM glass

Just to answer a few FAQs:

Q: How do you clean it?
A: There is a special cleaner and sealer for it

Q: How long will it take before the water bubbles evaporate
A: 3-4 days

Q: Will my wipers scratch the film
A: Diamond Fusion has an extremely durable hardcoat that is scratch resistant

Q: Does it affect visibility
A: Diamond Fusion is a clear film with a VLT (visible light transmission) rating at 85%. Factory glass is rated at somewhere between 80%-85% depending on manufacturer
*this windshield protection film also reduces glare for improved nighttime visibility

 

One thing I'd always let a dealer do. Install factory glass to factory specs. The aftermarket glass sucks and the installers are borderline.

 

Dealers call in glass installers

 

In middle east specially here in kuwait I installed this in my car three times
Every year it has to be changed
Because of the heat condition every year a small layer will be melted and peeled from the wipers when active

 

Are you sure you're not referring to 'Clearplex'?

I believe the Diamond Fusion product from Premier is essentially brand new.

That's correct. We've been testing Diamond Fusion since '09 for Prestige and they have finally produced a product that is stronger than Clearplex in our opinion.

 

Here are some close ups of it from the inside. It is an optically clear product. We believe Prestige did a great job in creating a very good product that will protect our client vehicle windshields' over time.

As a point in reference, these photos below were taken here at approximately 6:30pm.

 

That's a great product! How much is the install? PM please!

 

There seems to be some confusion with Diamond Fusion and paint protection films on the market. Diamond Fusion is a clear window film with high optical clarity that is designed specifically for the front windshield. Paint protection film, is exactly what it's name turns out to be...it is designed for paint and not windows. Paint protection film (aka clear bra) does not have the optical clarity required to be placed onto the windshield.
