Window tinting also good for covering up scratches?

[eronka]

Hi guys, just joined today.

I'm about to get my 325i tinted (the glare from the afternoon sun is becoming unbearable) but before I do I was wondering whether the tint will make scratches on the windshield less noticable.

Anyone have any idea? thanks

I think it will make it more noticeable from the outside.

^Really!!

Glad I asked. Can anyone else confirm this?

Welcome to the forum.

The window tint will highlight the scratches under certain angles and lighting conditions. Are you sure you want to tint your windshield? That will really compromise visibility when driving at night.

^Well I was considering one of the lighter shades. The range is from very light to almost pitch black (a scale from 1-9) I was thinking a 3-4.

Why don't they use the percentage system, which is how the window tints actually work.

Do you know what percentage you're getting based on the scale?

I'm unsure about the percentage scale. Then again I'm just starting.

However, if tinting would actually make chips/scratches on the window more visible I might just pass (check my other topic)

thanks
