Choosing the right film from SolarFX depends on whether you're prioritizing aesthetics,
heat rejection, or high-end infrared (IR) blocking.
The primary difference between these lines is the material technology: Carbon FX uses advanced dyes,
while the IRFX, FX3, and FX Plus series use various grades of Nano-Ceramic technology to block heat.

Detailed Breakdown
1. Carbon FX (The Aesthetic Standard)
This is a high-quality dyed film. While it doesn't have the high heat-rejection properties of ceramic,
it is "Color-Stable," meaning it won't turn purple over time.
-
Best for: People who want the "limo tint" look or privacy without spending extra for heat rejection.
-
VLT Options: 5% to 50%.
2. IRFX (The Ceramic Entry)
IRFX is the first step into ceramic technology. It is designed to block 62% of infrared heat,
which is the "burning" sensation you feel on your skin.
-
Best for: Drivers who want more comfort than a standard carbon film but are on a tighter budget.
3. Black FX3 (The Mid-Tier Favorite)
FX3 is often considered the "sweet spot" in the SolarFX lineup.
It utilizes a 1.5-mil 2-ply construction and significantly increases the IR rejection up to 86%.
-
Best for: Most daily drivers. It provides a massive reduction in cabin temperature compared to Carbon FX.
4. FX Plus (The Ultimate Performance)
This is SolarFX’s flagship product. It uses a higher concentration of nano-ceramic particles to
achieve near-total infrared rejection.
Even at lighter shades, this film will outperform darker shades of the lower-tier series.
-
Best for: Hot climates or anyone who wants the absolute best protection for their skin and interior.
Summary Recommendation
-
If you just want the car to look dark: Go with Carbon FX.
-
If you want a noticeable drop in heat for a fair price: Go with Black FX3.
-
If you want to barely feel the sun through the glass: Go with FX Plus.
