I went with XPEL Tint: PRIME XR BLUE VLT 80 on the windshield and PRIME XR BLACK VLT 55 on the rest.

The new tint was much lighter than the previous tint (despite what the photos imply), but seems to block UV and heat much better.




The windshield has a slight bluish tint but isn't noticeable when driving.



The result is night and day. Even without A/C it's much more comfortable in the cabin, and with the A/C it's even better. 27C yesterday and I was driving with the windows up no problem.
