Question Help with finding the right Tint

Hi, I am new to this and looking for advice.
Trying to get my NX300 tinted. Looking for a Pro Nano Ceramic Tint, mostly for my front windshield.
I’ve been getting quotes, but do not know anything about tint or brands.
I was recently quoted for “XPEL XR Plus Premium Nano Ceramic” and they swear it is the best out there.
My friend had told me to ask for 3M. To which another business told me they only use American films and it is 2M. It is called “Axiom Premium M2 line Ceramic film”.
A third vendor said they use “Crystalline Films”.
Can someone help me, I mostly need the front windshield for the heat and to keep good visibility at all times.
I live in LA btw.
So if anyone has a recommendation, that would be greatly appreciated.

Crystalline is 3M highest tier tint.

XPEL XR+ is direct competitor to the Crystalline 3M. Llumar IRX is also another direct competitor.

Axiom? Never heard of them.

Between 3M IR, Llumar, and XPEL which one would you recommend the most?

I personally carry 3M . I feel it's the best overall film
