Supplement the factory glass? I'm confused, does the factory glass only block some of the UV?

Just send me $50. The clear tint I can apply to any car in the world is so good, it's like it's not even there.

Factgory glass does a perfect job of blovking UV.

If you want to see how well your factory glass blocks UV and you have a pair of Transitions glasses, go for a drive with your windows shut. You'll notice your glasses begin to clear up because Transitions is activated by UV rays, since your windows block them, there's no reason for them to transition.
