Why parents in San Diego are tinting their car windows for kid safety, what film blocks UV, and what's overkill.
Window glass blocks UV-B but lets UV-A through — that's the long-wavelength UV that causes skin damage. For kids in car seats, that exposure adds up fast.
Any modern automotive film — dyed, carbon, or ceramic — blocks 99% of UV-A and UV-B. That's the same as SPF 1000.
A 70% clear ceramic film up front blocks 99% UV. You don't have to go to limo black to protect your kids.
Both the Skin Cancer Foundation and the AAD recommend automotive window film for daily UV exposure reduction.
