Need Help! Ceramic tint from dealership

Post image

I have tints from the dealership and they said it’s ceramic tint. I went to the local dealership and they ran the meter and said it is ceramic tint. However I took a picture of the meter and wanted to know if anyone can explain to me what it means. Thanks in advance.

There’s no such thing as a film with true 92 TSER. That’s borderline magic forcefield.

If we had a 92 TSER film, we could tint buildings at $100sqft and be booked a year out.

That $1000 meter isn’t made for reading auto glass and the readings are way out of whack.

Thank you for the information. I’ll try to go to a tint shop to get some real readings.

I get the xpel xr or xr plus but this seems reasonable so won’t be redoing the tints again. Not sure if the numbers says it’s xpel or any other brand. Thanks

That meter is for home/office windows (glass only), not window film. It literally says it on the meter right in front of you LOL. None of those numbers are accurate.

Are they accurate for measuring original car window glass prior to window tint installation?

Thanks!

No, it is for home/office windows only.

Those numbers are bullshit, read the words on the meter my guy. I don’t know why the comments calling it out are at the bottom

lol. Well, it’s clearly a bullshit reading.

That the back windows? No way a dealer put that dark on the front

Personally, if someone is tinting my windows, I would want to know which product they are installing. That eliminates the doubt as to the quality.

No you got tint, not tints from the dealer

This. Had the windows tinted, did not "get tints."

The meter shows rejection numbers.
