• As a division of the international glass and building technology icon Saint-Gobain – an organization whose 350-year legacy originated with the Hall of Mirrors in Paris' Palace of Versailles and extends to NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover – Solar Gard's automotive solutions are created through the expansive research and development capacity of the company. The brand's proprietary technology includes virtually invisible films that significantly reject heat from the sun, while diminishing the threat of UV damage. Combined with the best in customization options, Solar Gard's style and technology offerings are unmatched.
• Clearshield Pro is a tough, optically clear barrier that acts as a shield for factory paint on vehicles of every kind. The effective layer guards against chips, scratches and stains caused by road debris, insects or humans. From big trucks, family minivans, sports sedans to ultra-luxury supercars – drivers and custom builders can now powerfully protect their investments and preserve the new look of their vehicles without having to alter their original appearance.
• Ultra Performance Plus 80: Solar Gard's expertise in enhancing some of the most iconic buildings with window film technology for heat reduction, interior preservation and shatter/intrusion protection now extends to everyday vehicles. Advanced nano-ceramic technology delivers high infrared and heat rejection that can reduce interior surface temperatures by up to 39°F. Virtually invisible for an unaltered view and unparalleled clarity, Ultra Performance Plus 80 also blocks 99% of harmful UVA and UVB rays – while reinforcing the window and helping to guard passengers from the potential dangers of shattered glass.
