Rayno F95 Film: Features and Application Details
Rayno is a well-regarded brand in the automotive film market, known for its quality and customer satisfaction. The F95 line represents their premium offering, designed to elevate a vehicle's aesthetics and comfort. This specific Sorento MQ5 received the F95 film across all windows, including the panoramic sunroof. The application involved:
- Front Windshield & Panoramic Sunroof: 27% tint (F95-27%)
- 1st Row Windows: 12% tint (F95-12%)
- Remaining Windows: 5% tint (F95-05%)
The 27% front tint offers excellent privacy while maintaining clear visibility for the driver and significantly reducing solar heat gain. The darker 12% and 5% tints on the side and rear windows provide maximum privacy and further minimize heat intrusion, ensuring a comfortable cabin environment even during hot weather. This combination of tint levels is tailored to the Sorento's large glass surfaces, balancing aesthetics, comfort, and driver visibility.

These services enhance the vehicle's durability, maintain its pristine condition, and ensure a healthy cabin environment. Additional Paint Protection Film (PPF) was applied to high-impact areas such as the door cups, door edges, fuel lid, trunk lid, headlights, and daytime running lights, safeguarding the paint from scratches and minor impacts.
