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

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.

Good to know the result was what you wanted.
