Since this Black Series is pre-owned, the new owner does not like the dark tinted windows (we rated it at under 20%), so off it comes. In goes the latest in window film technology - Spectra PhotoSync Nano Tint. We will be installing 45% all around + 75% on the windshield.



There is also a band of tint on the top of the windshield that MUST go.....just does not fit in this car!

Now, let's get the tint off. First, we always want to show the efficacy of the products we put in our clients' vehicles. We pulled the tint off and put it to a BTU test.

First, here is a BTU reading at 3pm with no tint




Here is the reading from the previous tint we pulled off:



Spectra PhotoSync at 45%, which is over 25% lighter than the previous tint:

Every panel on this C63 Black Series is covered since the paint is OEM matte....a paint to maintain and if it chips / scratches, very difficult to match. So the owner of this fine machine did it right by protecting his investment.

Let's get this one moving. To recap this project:

Satin Guard paint protection film - NOT MATTE VINYL
*approximately 3-4 times thicker than vinyl, Satin Guard is a translucent paint protection film (similar to clear bra) that is enhanced with satin metallic flakes.
*it is also highly oil resistant, so finger prints and oils do not show up like matte vinyl

Spectra PhotoSync Nano Tint
*blocks out 98.5% of infrared rays. What does this really mean? For comparison purposes, regular dyed window tint only blocks out 20%-30% of infrared.





Have to make sure we protect these carbon fiber pieces on the front:





After removing the old tint, we start prepping for Spectra PhotoSync 45% to be installed to the car.

Are you doing a double tint or are you simply getting the shape of the rear window and then will be installing on the inside only?

The original tint must be removed first. Then we have to heat shrink the film to the conform to the curvature of the rear glass. After the film is shrunk, then it is installed to the interior of the window.

C63 Coupe Edition 1
You guys do amazing work! You did the front fender of my C63 Edition 1 and once it had time to cure it looks great and actually matches the rest of the car really well.
