Does the XR Plus experience the rainbow effect when look thru with polarized sunglasses on? Photosync has this issue. Let me know I am on the fence about XR Plus and Photosync. TSER is really one of the factors, color and clarity are as well. I dont want to see grain. One thing I didnt like is you stated that XR Plus has a Bluish hue to it as well.

Can it be installed on the outside of the all glass roof on a Model S? The glass heats up and radiates a lot of heat into the car. How effective in terms of reducing interior temperature is it? Is there lab data to support the claim? Inside window install is not very effective.

I had xpel xr plus tint installed recently. I'm not sure if this is normal but I can see little grain specks scattered throughout the film. It's also not very clear looking out to the side mirror. I first thought it was curing but it's been a couple of weeks and no change. The place I used was a high volume reputable place. I'm very disappointed with it so far. It does look good from the outside and I'm satisfied with the heat rejection, but it's very annoying to see blurriness and little dots looking outside

clownpuncher,

Every window tint on the market will provide that rainbow effect when looking through polarized sunglasses. It will depend on the curve/shape of the glass with how prevalent the look is.

Hotrodder,

Window tint cannot be installed on the outside of the glass, it can be installed on the inside though to reduce heat inside the vehicle. As stated above, XR PLUS can block up to 98% of Infrared heat which is the heat you can feel. Does that mean your car will be ice cold when you get in, not at all. Does it even mean that it won't be hot at all? No. But, it will be noticeable cooler and because the tint rejects so much heat, it means that your Tesla doesn't have to work as hard to cool down the cabin. You'll noticed a decreased cooling off time as well.

I have Xpel Prime XR Plus on my Model 3 and outward vision is crystal clear. No specks or artifacts are visible. I do wear polarized sunglasses (Maui Jims and Oakley), but have not noticed the Rainbow effect.

My Xpel window tint and full coverage Xpel ppf was installed by @Premiertint in El Dorado Hills, CA. They did an awesome job and I'm completely satisfied with the investment.

I looked a little closer. Seems like the little specs are mostly the graininess of the film. One of the windows looks blurry like there is prominent adhesive behind it, and another needs to be replaced but the other windows look good. I like the color and I'm glad I went with a little darker than I first wanted to, but the graininess is a little annoying. You get used to it after a while though

On a side note, do you warranty tint against bubbling?

We would still recommend going to get it checked out so all the windows look great and there is no blurriness or strain on your eyes.

I was thinking of doing a chrome delete myself on my X but I watched this:

All was well until I saw how to do the side mirrors!

It's too much work if you don't do this on a regular basis.
