2013 Brabus CLS63 in for PhotoSync Nano Tint

Good client of ours just purchased this pristine 2013 Brabus decked out CLS63 in for our latest product. Made by Prestige Film Technologies, this is the latest window film brought in for our customers. This product's performance improves as solar heat intensifies and has a manufacturer rating of 98.5% of IR rejection. This is significant considering that even ceramic films come in at 80%. Also another added feature of this product is that it's shade darkens as a result of the heat rejecting properties changing based on solar intensity.

More info of this product:

Updated photos to come shortly!

These are the before pics:

1. How much?
2. An after photo would be awesome.
3. Do you have anywhere in the PA area I can get this installed?

Thank you

Not sure who carries this product, but this is one product that is somewhat difficult to install, so an extremely experienced tinter is a must. Recommend contacting the manufacturer to see who carries it in PA.

Good luck and tell them Premier sent ya!

OH, more photos coming soon and we are putting it to test as well!

With everything we do, we like to present to our customers that the products we carry are of the highest quality. Prestige Film Technologies really knocked this one out of the park. We have been beta testing this product for them close to 2.5 years and their PhotoSync IR Nano Tint is truly impressive in its performance. More importantly, we put it onto our spectrometer and no metals registered through it. This means, you will not get any signal interruptions like all metallic films and some ceramic based tint.

Below is our test:

BEFORE WE APPLIED PHOTOSYNC:

Outdoor Temperature: 75 degrees
Interior Color - Black
**Keep this in mind, the darker the color of the interior, the higher the heat absorption rate
Time of test: 3:25 PM

In only 1 Minute 14 Seconds, the seat gets to a sizzling 115.8 degrees


At 5 Minute 35 Seconds, the surface temperature rises to 122.9 degrees (7.1 degrees!)


At just a bit over 10 minutes, this same seat popped to a skin burning 131.3 degrees (an additional 8.4 degrees 5 minutes later!)


The windshield registers in at 139 degrees after sun exposure for just 11.25 minutes

After completion of the installation for the side and rear glasses at PhotoSync45, we ran another test at the same time the day after to replicate the conditions. However, the next day had an outdoor temperature of 84 degrees. Being 9 degrees hotter than the day before, we are definitely putting this product to test

Outdoor Temperature: 84 degrees
Time of Test: 3:20pm
Product Installed: PhotoSync45 (45% VLT)

At 1 Minute 45 Seconds, the seat registers in a fairly cool 88.3 degrees (VS. without PhotoSync, at 1 Minute 15 Seconds, the temperature was 115.8 degrees!)


At the 4 Minute marker, we see that temperature rises to 90.3 degrees (Compared to without PhotoSync test at 5 Minutes to a blistering 122.9 degrees)


And finally in 10 Minutes time, the surface temperature increased to 94.6 degrees (rising only 6 degrees despite being 9 degrees hotter outside). This is a noticeably significant difference in heat rejection for PhotoSync. (Without PhotoSync surface temperature at 10 Minutes 42 Seconds came in at 131.3 degrees!)

Looks very interesting, do you have some side by side heat comparisons with other tints?

We are pretty critical of manufacturer claims, but this one really does exceed our expectations from the test.

Here is a test we performed on a Cayenne Turbo with the Porsche factory Thermal IR Glass for the rear windows. We installed PhotoSync45 (same shade as this CLS63) onto the Cayenne's front two windows and did a side by side comparison.

Porsche Thermal IR Glass is a factory installed option for the Cayenne and Panamera. It's performance is similar to that of a ceramic tint.

Never seen the front windshield tented.

There is some sort of misunderstanding on your part. Tint always go on the inside and the wipers are outside.... So in short, applying PhotoSync Nano Tint has no bearing on the exterior and does not come in contact with wipers

I'd recommend contacting the manufacturer to see if they have any authorized dealers in your area.

I was just wondering, I already have a pretty dark tint on mine, but it has these small scratches on the inside, and when it comes to the edges where the MBZ logo is there, it just bubbles around. It doesnt look professional.

You should address this issue with your original tint installer.

That's funny, I was in your store earlier this year and tried to purchase your services for window tint and clear bra on my new 2012 CLS 63, and was told by your salespeople that you DO NOT install window tint on CLS because it was too difficult, which I found kind of lame since you claim to be so good at what you do. I even asked the salesperson to doublecheck with the owner, and got the same answer. I checked around with other shops, and they all seemed very comfortable with doing the work. I got the work done elsewhere and had a great outcome. Now you are advertising that you do CLS window tint installs. So I guess you finally figured it out.
