Default Re-Tinting whole car....What is a good brand that holds up well?

I go to school in AZ and so it will surely take a good beating (i want limo all the way around, even windshield) Is the 3M the best or are others comprable? What about a new windshield..i have a few cracks too...what the kind of glass that i should get that isnt so soft like the factory one...i know people use safelite and are very happy...what do i tell the guys the type of glass i want or is there a difference?
Thanks

3m Carbon based film is pretty much the best

That's what I've got. Looks very clean, no problems so far.

I used Huper Optik on all my windows. Excellent heat rejection.

Default wow 500 bucks.... i'll take a few seconds of heat

letting the windows down before you get in helps get some heat out of the car

Default After I got my car tinted... I lost a great deal of clarity in my AM/FM reception. What should I do?
