hey guys i recently took off my front tints and i really want to get them on again but way way less dark (like 70%) barely noticeable but then i remembered how i always see mercedes with like some sort of coating on the windows instead of straight tint does anyone know what this is called ? like it doesnt look tinted but from certain angles you cant see in its pretty sick and how to get it and iff it would look stupid ? or should i just get the really light tints ? thanks if anyone knows

That looks like reflective window tint to me.
Kind of what is like on this beemer:

But i'm not really sure. I just always thought it was that silver reflective tint.

^ Agreed I thought it was reflective tint as well but its very subtle and always has a blue hue to it.

that is what factory glass from Mercedes, there is no way you can get it like that with aftermarket films.
You can get 50% and it's give you a light shade, but it's a waste of moneys, go with around 35-40% better.

yeah i dont want the mirror tint and jamal i kinda always thought that too, that its a factory mercedes glass thing where they just do something to the glass to give it that look instead of actually tinting it and i dont want to go darker than 50% i had that and still got pulled over im talking like 70% - 75% tops i know its like nothing but thats the point i used to have a saab wagon that had like barely tinted windows from the factory and it looked so awesome and at night it looks even darker
