I need to redo my tints and I want a good quality paper that has the maximum heat reflection to keep my interior cooler. Currently have 3M 20% on it and I don't care for it. Lets in way to much heat. Any recommendations?

High metal film made by either LLumar or 3M...5% in the rear window and rear doors....15% on the front doors

Exact same here with a 5% sun strip on the windshield as well.
3M film. Car still gets supper hot when parked. But while driving, you get a sun burn with the windows down, nice and cool with them up.
Perfect for the kids in the back too:) no need for sun glasses:)

Ceramic film. Huper-Optik comes to mind.
3m has a ceramic series too.

I had my Jetta done professionally with 40% ceramic tint (under $200). It's amazing. Way better than the metallic tint on the golf and passat.

The interior of my car gets so hot down here in the summer that last year the suction cup on my GPS melted to the windshield. This year has already started to be a scorcher, 90+ days with 60 to 70% humidity. Right now its 1:52pm and it is 88* with 62% humidity and the Real Feel is 104* in the shade. I need some super Ceramic tints and the A/C out of a Cadillac.

LLumar ceramic here. Very happy with it.

Installer had both 3M and LLumar ceramic available, said LLumar installs much nicer/easier to work with.
