Clear Window Film

All of the heat and UV protection. None of the darkness, and none of the argument about tint laws.

Most people assume a window film has to be dark to do anything. It doesn't. Darkness is a property of visible light; the heat you feel through the glass is infrared, and the damage to your skin and your dashboard is ultraviolet. A film can be tuned to turn away the second two while letting the first through almost untouched.

That is what Spectrum NEO 20 is for. At 62% visible light transmission the glass looks essentially unchanged, yet it rejects 92% of infrared and 99% of UV — the highest infrared number anywhere in the NEO range. It's the film for windshields, for front doors where the law is strict, and for anyone who wants the protection without changing how the car looks.

THE SUBTLE DIFFERENCE

Your windshield is the largest single piece of glass on the car and it points at the sun for most of the drive. It's also the one piece almost nobody treats, because a dark windshield is illegal nearly everywhere and looks wrong besides.

A clear film solves that. Heat comes off the dashboard and the steering wheel, glare settles down, the air conditioning stops working so hard — and from outside, nothing has changed. Fit it on its own for a factory look, or pair it with a darker shade behind for a car that's protected front to back.

Benefits of clear film

Three things worth clearing up

01Doesn't darker always mean cooler?
No. Darkness is visible light; heat is mostly infrared. The two can be tuned separately, which is why a 62% VLT film can post 92% infrared rejection while much darker films post less.
02My car already has factory privacy glass.
Privacy glass is pigment inside the glass. It cuts visible light and looks dark, but it does comparatively little about infrared — which is why a car with black rear glass still cooks. A clear film adds the heat and UV performance the glass never had, without making the windows darker still.
03So what doesn't a clear film do?
Privacy. There's no added privacy and no change to the look of the car. If that's what you're after, the darker nano carbon and Steel shades are the ones to look at.

All clear films

Compare the infrared number against the shades on the nano carbon and metallised pages — it holds up against films several times darker.

HOW DOES IT LOOK ON MY CAR?

The whole argument for clear film is that you can't see it. The simulator is the quickest way to prove that to yourself — and to compare it against a darker shade side by side.

Performance figures are laboratory values for the film itself; results on your vehicle depend on the glass. Windshield and front-window rules vary — ask a Spectrum installer about the limits where you drive.
