I'll ask the purists....would you put a film on your car with no visible tint if it protected your interior?
I've seen the 3M Crystalline films...and it was mighty impressive.

There is a solid argument for doing just this on a car you want to preserve, especially if it's driven and parked regularly in the sunnier parts of the world. My dad's old 1980 450SL, bought new and always garaged in Minnesota, has virtually zero UV damage on rubber/paint/trim or interior. A similar car here in CA. would be cooked.
