Lee, so far as a brand name is concerned get the LLumar brand tint
material. Ask for the metal sputtered stuff. It's the best on the
market. The metal is a thin layer that provides UV protection for the
interior of the vehicle and reduces plastic and upholstery damage by
sunlight. Of course it is illegal to tint a windshield.

As for turning purple, your really cheap materials do that. LLumar will
not turn purple. It may lose a little color after 7 years, but that  is
about all.

Another good thing about LLumar. it has a national warranty. If you have
a LLumar shop install it, the warranty is good anywhere in the USA at
another Llumar shop. That's hard to beat.

My son has owned and operated a Tint shop for 17 years, and he won't use
anything else, because time has proven the LLumar product to him.
Simple. He has less warranty calls with it, meaning it holds up better
over time.

Good luck
