VLT (visible light transmittance): The amount of visible light that is able to pass through. Expressed as a percent. UVR (ultraviolet rejection): Indicates the percentage of harmful UV rays the tint blocks from passing through. UV rays can cause fading, damage and discolouration of the vehicle's interior, as well as increased risk of skin cancer. IRR (infrared rejection): Indicated the percentage of infrared light that the tint blocks from passing through, reducing heat buildup inside the vehicle. VLT, UVR and IRR work together to reduce overall heat within the vehicle. Film thickness (mil): Thicker film is generally more durable and resistant to wear, scratches and damage over time; it's generally seen as higher performance, more protective. 2mil>1.5mil
