Window coatings IR rejection

Any experience with these types of products? Do they actually reduce heat gain?

Are you asking about window coverings? Or coatings as in tint film? A friend of mine put the clear ceramic film on the windshield of his truck and he highly recommended it to me. Says it really makes a difference.  I'm going to order some and give it a try. I can never seem to find anyone that does it professionally that isn't booked out for weeks. Kinda hard to make an appointment that far out while on the road.
Some are called, some are sent, some just got up and went.

I got this companies ceramic applied to my windshields and it did make a difference in the heat of the southwest. But it's expensive, lvmci...

Local car window tinting outfits sell a variety of these products. Guess I'll need to see if they'll do the coach windshields.
