Kia EV6 window tinting with Anigard AP80R reflective film. Improved visibility & privacy. Cost-effective upgrade.
Previous Tint Removal and Preparation
This Kia EV6 arrived with existing window tint that was causing significant visibility issues, especially for the rear and side windows. The previous tint was applied with a very dark 5% shade, compounded by a double-layer application that severely hampered night driving. This presented a safety hazard, necessitating a complete removal of the old film. The removal process was intricate, revealing a poorly executed double-layer application, likely due to installer inexperience. Such installations not only reduce visibility but can also distort the view, increasing driver fatigue and accident risk. Our team meticulously removed all traces of the old tint and adhesive to ensure a clean surface for the new window film.

The owner sought a cost-effective yet high-performance reflective window film, leading to the selection of Anigard AP80R. This window film offers excellent heat rejection and privacy while adding a sophisticated metallic sheen to the vehicle's appearance. With an Infrared Rejection (IRR) rate of over 80%, it effectively minimizes solar heat gain, ensuring a comfortable cabin temperature even on hot days. This choice enhances both the aesthetics and the comfort of the Kia EV6.
Kia EV6 Window Tinting Results: Clarity and Privacy
The Kia EV6 was treated with Anigard AP80R window film, featuring a 20% tint on the front windshield and 5% on the rear and side windows. This configuration provides complete privacy from the outside while offering exceptional clarity from the driver's seat, a significant improvement over the previous tint. The reflective quality of the Anigard AP80R film creates a unique aesthetic, appearing emerald or silver depending on the viewing angle and glass type, adding a distinctive touch to the EV6. Special care was taken during the installation on the rear defroster lines, ensuring a flawless finish without damaging the heating elements, a testament to our expert application techniques.
