CLEAR Window Film Polarizing ?
Block heat? Reduces headlight dazzle? If it wasn't a 3M product I would sneer. But advertising and reality sometimes do not run parallel to each other. So I have to ask... Does anyone h...

The 3M blurb says it "rejects" 97% of the IR, and "blocks" 99% of the UV.

But I've always thought outer sun shades covering stationary windows is preferable to non-reflective films. But realize that they may not be that feasible in vehicles and mobile homes.
Just curious ...
Our 3M film does not heat up the glass... where the rejected energy goes? I suspect it's reflected back out into the atmosphere.
