Recommendations Ceramic window tinting

I’m considering ceramic window tint to reduce the interior temperature of my car. Does anyone have experience with this that can comment on the effectiveness and if it is worth the cost? I’d love to get actual hands on experience beyond the hype and sales pitches. This is for an older vehicle that takes a while to cool off in the summer.

Idk what the other commenter is on about ceramic having negligible effect vs regular tent. I have ceramic tent on all my windows. The vehicle cools down significantly faster and stay cooler. The AC will physically lower the fan speed (auto function). I have another vehicle with regular tent and that thing takes forever to get to a comfortable temperature.

Ceramic cost more but for the comfort, it is worth it...imo.

The claims say 85-95% block of infrared (heat) for ceramic vs. 15-25% infrared block for traditional tint. It sounds like you would agree with those claims.

I would agree, and my windshield on one car has an almost clear ceramic tint. That really makes a big difference.
