The air fryer cannot. So, what do you think about window tint films? Are they only about \u201cVIP convoy\u201d vibe? No. There is actual science happening on that glass. How does window tint work? Let\u2019s understand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your car windows are bombarded with glare, ultraviolet (UV) rays, infrared heat and solar radiation. Car interiors can heat up by 20\u00b0F (11\u00b0C) in just 10 minutes under direct sunlight. Isn\u2019t it brutal for you and your car? What\u2019s the science behind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultraguardindia.com\/window-film-for-cars\">window tinting<\/a>?
