Solar Gard NR Supreme
Discontinued. Not on Solar Gard's current site. Listed as "Supreme" on Solar Gard's US car film pages from 2007 and as NR Supreme from 2014. Still on the list in January 2026; gone from solargard.com when we checked in September 2026.
Dyed film gets its darkness from dye in the polyester layers. It's the least expensive type and looks non-reflective, but it absorbs heat rather than reflecting it, and older dyed films could fade toward purple over time. Compare the types of window film.

Figures are measured on single-pane clear glass; results on your windows will vary. The number in a shade's name is nominal; VLT is the measured light transmission. Archived specs may differ from what was sold near the end of the line.
Darkness limits for cars are set by each state. Check your state's tint law before choosing a shade.
Visualize the shades: tint preview and heat rejected
The tint preview shows how each shade darkens the view from inside (visible light transmission, VLT); screens vary, so use it as a guide. Heat rejected is total solar energy rejected (TSER): higher is cooler.
