Formula One UV Shield Tint - Windshield
Thanks to a random fluke of the manufacturing process, I got a new windshield today, courtesy of Team Acme in Henderson, NV (they rock - they were not under any obligation to replace it!)
The bad news is that my beloved 3M Crystalline 50% on the windshield could not be salvaged.
While I loved the heat rejection, UV protection, and privacy of the 3M Crystalline film, I was sorely disappointed with its optical clarity and driving through the Mojave Desert at night was very difficult.
That being said, Formula One makes a windshield-specific product called UV Shield (http://www.formulaone.com/uvshield.htm).
It allegedly will allow up to 85% VLT and block 99.9% UV and be optically very clear.
Is anyone running any level of FormulaOne (made by Llumar, I believe) on their windshield? How *optically* clear is it? Does it have any metallic content in it?
The website does not state this.
