Customer looking to reduce interior cabin temperatures for his Panamera as we are in the midst of a heat wave and driving comfort is important to most coming through Premier. We have been running 95-100 degree days here, so this product makes sense. First off, let's answer some FAQs:

1. How does Prestige's PhotoSync differ from the tints on the market?
a) Dyed Films (the most popular due to cost and availability) - 20%-30% in infrared rejection / Total Solar Energy Rejection: 20%-40%
b) Metallic Films (dying breed due to more and more electronics in cars today) - 40%-60% infrared rejection / Total Solar Energy Rejection: 40%-55%
c) Ceramics (certain ceramic brands actually still use metallics despite claiming none in its composition and will also distort when heat shrunk to fit to the rear glass) - 50% - 80% infrared rejection / Total Solar Energy Rejection: 40% - 55%
d) IR film - 45%-55% Infrared Rejection / Total Solar Energy Rejection: 40% - 55%

E) Spectra PhotoSync Solar Adaptive Nano Window Film (only technology of its kind) - up to 98.5% Infrared Rejection / Total Solar Energy Rejection: 61%-65%

 

Is there an installer in Atlanta or do I have to move to California?

 

Nice!! I want it for my panamera front windshield too!!

 

Here are some test results of Spectra PhotoSync.....exceptional heat rejection..actually best we have ever tested AND it will not interfere with wireless signals!

Shade of Spectra PhotoSync installed:

1. front windshield 75%
2. front passenger / driver windows 45%
3. rear doors + rear glass 35%

And our BTU tests below - exterior temperature 94 degrees:





Front Passenger Window



Rear Passenger Window

 

Not sure who in Atlanta carries Spectra PhotoSync. Would recommend contact Prestige Film Technologies to see who they have there:

Beside the excellent heat rejection, this window film (tint) is also the clearest we have seen. Prestige Film Technologies knocked this one out of the park!

Shades:
Windshield - 75%
Front 2 Glasses - 45%
Rears - 35%

 

Expect performance of this window film to surface temperatures by 30 degrees, which translates (depending on vehicle) to 15-20 degree interior temperatures on a 100 degree day.

Manufacturer: Prestige Film Technologies
Product: Spectra PhotoSync
Shade Installed: 75% windshield, 45% front two windows, 35% rears

 

And here is a video test of Prestige Film Technologies PhotoSync65% with the windows rolling up and down to show how well this film performs. (same shade as the front two windows of the Panamera's front two glasses)

Conditions: 78 degrees
Time of test: 2pm

For those outside of California, please contact the manufacturer to see who is in your area (www.prestige-films.com)

 

One of the most commonly asked question is how well does Spectra PhotoSync compare with other window tint products. So we decided to actually put Spectra PhotoSync to test against a 5% metallic limo tint. Now keep in mind, the shades we used for comparison is PhotoSync65, 55, and 45, so much lighter compared to limo tint at 5%. There is also one major difference - the limo tint has metals in it so it can produce some decent heat rejection that would be comparable to a lighter ceramic based tint:


FAQ:

Q: What shades are available?
A: 75, 65, 55, and 45

Q: What is the warranty?
A: Lifetime Warranty from bubbling, fading, peeling, and cracking

Q: What does the percentages stand for?
A: The % stands for VLT (visible light transmission), which means the higher the number, the lighter the film is

 

For those not familiar with Spectra PhotoSync, it is a nano window film that will adjust its nano properties to perform better when exposed to direct solar radiation (sunlight). The result is the film's heat rejecting properties begin to change to block up to 98.5% of infrared rays. This video below shows this effect:

Manufacturer: Prestige Film Technologies (prestige-films.com)

 

Conducted another test since we have been receiving inquiries to test PhotoSync against ceramic

Test: PhotoSync vs. a leading ceramic tint at 40%

 

Another test we conducted recently. With Prestige Film Technologies' Spectra PhotoSync Nano Window Film. We decided to document this test to show how well this product performs compared to a leading 30% ceramic tint. The previous test was done compared to a ceramic 40%. Test specs:

Spectra PhotoSync 65% (yes, we are using a lighter film to compare with a darker 30% ceramic tint)
*product to the left

VS.

30% Ceramic (one of the more popular ceramic tint products on the market....sorry, we are not going to name the manufacturer of this product, but can say it is likely the most well-known on the market)
*product to the right

Conditions:

Outdoor Temperature: 75 degrees

Test Time: 2pm

Measurement Equipment: BTU Meter aimed directly at the window films to obtain simultaneous readings for accuracy

Test Subject: Raging Gray Bull named the Aventador

 

To note, this video below shows how PhotoSync compares to a very popular ceramic 40% tint. However, this comparison was done at Spectra PhotoSync's pre-activation phase. In short, PhotoSync's Solar Adaptive Coating did not activate to produce maximum heat rejection, which means it will perform even better when exposed to solar energy for approximately 15 minutes.
