Wildcat Static Cling Tint adds a protective layer to the windows of your tractor, harvester or other self-propelled units.
Now available in New Zealand, Wildcat Static Cling Tint adds a protective layer to the windows of your tractor, harvester or other self-propelled units, to help keep out harmful UV rays and heat, without expensive professional tinting.
Allowing only 5% of visible light to be transmitted means the windows appear almost black from the outside, yet occupants still have a great view out. The Static Cling Tint also prevents the sun from fading and damaging the vehicle interior and dashboard. By reducing the heat inside the vehicle, the cabin is cooler and more comfortable on hot summer days, which is said to make for safer and more relaxed driving and a major reduction in glare.
