THE TINT GUIDE

A little knowledge.
A better choice.

You don’t need to become a tint expert. Start with three decisions: what you want to improve, which film suits you and how much light you want to keep.

Tinting a Tesla

Plan around your model, glass and priorities.

START WITH THE RIGHT QUESTION

What matters
most to you?

“I want a cooler-feeling drive.”

Compare the film’s solar performance at a similar shade. Nano ceramic is worth exploring when heat control is the priority.

“I want a clean, darker look.”

Start with the shade guide, then choose your film. Carbon can be a value-focused option.

“I drive a lot at night.”

Keep visibility central to your choice. A lower tint percentage lets less visible light through, regardless of film type.

THE THREE NUMBERS TO KNOW
VLT

Visible light transmission

How much visible light passes through. Lower percentage means a darker result.

TSER

Total solar energy rejected

A broader solar-performance measure. Compare films at similar VLT and under the same test conditions.

IR

Infrared rejection

A measure of infrared performance. Test wavelength ranges vary, so an IR claim alone is not the whole heat-control picture.

AFTER INSTALLATION

Keep the finish
looking right.

When can I roll the windows down?

Keep your windows up for the period Vista recommends for your installed film. Cure time depends on the product and conditions; your installer will provide specific aftercare instructions.

How should I clean the film?

Use a soft microfiber cloth and an ammonia-free cleaner. Avoid abrasive pads and take care not to scratch the film with sharp objects.

What if I see a little haze?

A little moisture or haze can be part of drying. Follow Vista’s specific aftercare instructions and contact the team about anything that persists or concerns you.
