Anybody heard of Wincos Ceramic Tint?

I was looking for a Huper Optik dealer around here in Louisiana, but the closest dealer is in Houston. I do not feel like driving 4hrs+ just to get a window tinting. So i had called a local dealer that used to deal with Huper Optik but they had switch with Wincos Ceramic. They claim it is better and thinner and as good in quality as Huper Optik Ceramic. Is this true? I never heard of this product name brand. Have anybody dealt with this product?

The shop that did my tint carries Wincos Ceramic but actually did not recommend me to go that route due to how new the product is. They do not have any feedback from customers as of yet to how well the tint holds up over time. Also they mentioned some other things regarding Wincos and how it's not as reputable as Llumar. Based on their recommendation I did Llumar ATC all around and Llumar Air-80 on the windshield for heat reduction and I couldn't be happier.

Just ask to see some of the cars that they have put that tint on, took me forever and a day to find the right tint shop in Oregon when I had mine done, I shopped around everywhere, if they are a good shop they should have sample tints and they should be working on at least one car so ask to take a look and see how it is when they put it on.

Thanks for the Info guys.. I just read up on some post about Wincos, it has a sort of bluish tint and uses dye? So, yeah I will try to shop around for a different tint brand possibly Llumar? U guys got pixs with the Llumar tints?

Llumar Ceramic Tints 35% all around. I don't know if the rear windshield is factory tinted or not...so I took a picture of it lol.
Those are water spots on the rear windshield not defects....it rained last night, and was supposed to rain today so I didn't clean it off.
Hope those help!

That sucks!

I only have a few bubbles on my rear windshield but luckily those are really really really tiny and to the side where I can't see them very well.

I paid $200 for the tint and I am quite please. Plus, if I ever get a fix-it ticket de-tinting is free

Let us know what you decide to get!
