Protect your collector car from the harsh Florida sun without altering your car’s appearance by installing 3M™ Automotive Window Film.
Every July, the nation recognizes Collector Car Appreciation Day, an opportunity pay tribute to the detailed craftsmanship and engineering that makes antique and collector cars so special.
You’ve likely spent countless hours rebuilding and maintaining your collector car, and now 3M window film can add a fishing layer of protection to further preserve the historic value and timelessness of your vehicle. Here’s a look at the reasons why 3M Automotive Window Film is right for your valuable investment.
Preserve Your Collector Car’s Appearance with 3M Auto Tinting
An important factor in owning a collector car is to be able to maintain its original appearance, and 3M window film offers an option that helps you do just that while also providing you sun control.
While darker, more traditional versions are available, 3M™ Automotive Window Film, Crystalline Series is available in a nearly clear tint level, which can maintain your car’s original appearance.
In fact, with patented multilayer optical film technology, the 3M™ Crystalline Series provides better heat and UV protection than many darker films. The films are constructed using 200 layers of very thin, nano-film in which each layer is specifically placed to deflect the sun’s unwanted rays off the glass surface of your collector car.
With its nearly clear appearance, you will still enjoy the natural light. The clear film allows for 72% of visible light transmission – which is the percentage of visible light that will pass directly through the filmed glass.
With this film installed, you can preserve the authentic look of your collector car, including allowing the natural sunlight in, while adding a layer of protection against the sun.
Prevent Sun Damage to Your Collector Car with 3M Auto Tinting
3M Automotive Window Film – even the clear version – is scientifically proven to prevent sun damage to your collector car. This is due to its ability to reject heat and block UV rays.
A combination of UV rays and excessive heat can wreak havoc on a vehicle, including causing dry cracked seats, faded or torn upholstery, lower battery power, warped or cracked dashes, failing electronics and more. But with 3M’s state-of-the-art car tint, you don’t have to worry about your car’s value taking a hit.
3M film’s construction using 200-layer nanotechnology means that the films are structurally built to block 99.9% of UV rays, protecting your car’s interior and its driver from the harmful that UV rays can cause. The clear version of the film also rejects 46% of the sun’s solar energy and up to 95% percent of the sun’s heat-producing infrared rays. The result? A cooler car with less heat and UV ray damage.
You will also feel a difference with Crystalline Series film. A 3M study evaluated the temperature improvements of a vehicle with 3M Crystalline Series installed. When left sitting in the sun, a maximum average temperature reduction of up to 47°F is achieved for Sedans and 30°F for SUVs with 3M™ Automotive Window Film Crystalline Series installed.
Not only are you protecting your collector car from the sun’s damaging rays, you also are protecting yourself with 3M automotive window film. According to the Mayo Clinic, the main cause for skin cancer is sun exposure, specifically from UV rays. There are two types of rays UVA and UVB. UVA causes premature aging whereas UVB rays cause sunburn. Typical glass windshields block most UVA radiation but to 50% can penetrate the sunroof and side windows, raising the risk for skin cancer. Vehicles with window film have a layer of protection.
