Why Choose XPEL Prime XR?

99% UV Protection

The XPEL Prime XR blocks 99% of UV-A and UV-B rays, protecting your skin on daily commutes and shielding your dashboard, upholstery, and trim from fading and cracking.

Ceramic Durability

Dyed films tend to fog up and fade, but not the Prime XR. This tint uses nano-ceramic technology to maintain a clean appearance through intense sun exposure and heavy daily use. You’ll never find any premature discoloration.

Increased Privacy

The Prime XR window tint can keep your cabin out of sight. Passengers stay comfortable at traffic stops, and valuables stay hidden when parked in public areas. Plus, it looks great!

Glare Reduction

Glare is one of the most hazardous things on the road. Low winter sun, light bouncing off snow, or oncoming high beams at night: Prime XR cuts through glare that causes eye strain and slows your reaction time on the road.

Zero Signal Interference
