Nano/Ceramic
Advanced nano-ceramic technology offers a cooler and more comfortable driving experience in a signal-friendly construction.
Nature meets nanotechnology for ultimate performance.
This isn’t your first vehicle and you already know high-performance window film dramatically improves how you feel and look in your car or truck. So do we. That’s why we introduced the combined power of timeless raw materials and nanotechnology in our new VortexIR® Ceramic Film Series. Ceramic nanoparticles create a deeper black that won’t make your windows look like mirrors. But more than that, VortexIR premium technology absorbs energy from the sun instead of reflecting light and radio waves like other films on the market. For you, that means a cooler interior, more bars on your cell phone and a look that will last a lifetime.

- Advanced ceramic technology rejects up to 90% of infrared rays (15% VLT)
- Total Solar Energy Rejection (TSER) of up to 60% (15% VLT)

Care and Maintenance
Film Dry-out Time
The mounting solution used during the installation of your Solar Gard window film may require a dry-out time. Cold or non-sunny weather conditions can lengthen the dry-out time, while warm weather and direct sun light exposure will shorten the dry-out time. Small water beads and a slightly cloudy look may appear during the dry-out time. If slow drying does occur, do not become alarmed. The film will dry-out.
DO NOT CLEAN THE FILM FOR 30 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION.
Cleaning Instructions
To maximize the life of the window film, please follow these instructions for proper care and maintenance.
- Always use clean, soft materials to wash and dry your window film surfaces
- Most glass cleaners will work well, although a good cleaning solution for window film is 1/2 ounce of liquid dish soap added to 1 quart of fresh water.
- A soft cloth or a clean synthetic sponge is recommended for washing the window film, followed by another clean soft cloth or soft rubber squeegee for drying.
- To avoid scratching the film, do not use bristle brushes, abrasive scrubbing sponges, or any cleaning materials that may have been contaminated with dirt particles. Avoid washing interior and exterior windows with the same cleaning materials.
- Some brands of paper towels are coarse enough to put fine scratches in the film, even films with scratch resistant, protective hard-coat finish. While these scratches may be too fine to be seen at first, they can cause damage and reduce the polished look of the film over time.
