Window Tint

Looking for some window tint brand recommendations.
Been Looking at the following brands online.
3m Crytalline (heard mixed reviews about it)
FormulaOne/LLumar
Solar Gard
Madico
Sun Gard

I believe all of them come with a lifetime warranty. What brands have you guys been going with?

Also has anyone used that nearly clear and what are your thoughts on that? Was thinking about doing that on the front window since phoenix heat/sun is a killer to anything left out in it.

I will only do Huper Optik Ceramic.. It's pretty amazing, even the 70% which you can barely tell is there kills sun/heat dead in its tracks. Have this on our prius and audi.. huge difference when it went on. I'll be covering existing tinted windows with 70%, and fronts and roof with 50%.

Well New York state just passed a law at the time of your inspection they will test your window tint if doesn't pass no inspection thank you NY

Windshield: Non-reflective tint on the top 6 inches of the windshield is allowed. Front Side windows: Must allow more than 70% of light in. Back Side windows: Must allow more than 70% of light in. Rear Window: Any darkness can be used.
