Q. What is the difference between ceramic and dyed window tint for a Genesis G80?
The primary difference lies in their construction and performance: dyed tint uses a layer of dye to absorb heat and darken the window, offering basic UV protection and privacy, while ceramic tint incorporates ceramic particles that block heat and UV rays effectively without significantly darkening the window. For superior heat rejection and durability, ceramic tint is the recommended choice.
