- Ask first: heat, privacy or looks? Which windows? Any concern about metal in the film?
- Offer three choices, not five: a carbon option, a stronger carbon or carbon-metalized option, and a nano-ceramic option.
- Pick the legal shade for each window first, then the series.
Most lost tint sales aren't about price. They happen because the customer got confused. Scorpion has five automotive series, and listing all of them at the counter overwhelms most people. Here's a short consultation routine that gets customers to a confident yes. The full shop guide, with a tier table and customer examples, is on our store blog: which Scorpion window film to offer customers.
The four questions
- "What do you want the tint to fix?" Heat points to the ceramic series. Privacy or style points to the shade.
- "Which windows are we doing?" The legal limits for front sides, rears and windshields are different.
- "Is anything in the car sensitive to signals?" If they're worried, stick to the non-metalized series: Carbon, Carbon Plus, Shield and Shield Plus.
- "How long will you keep the car?" Long-term owners often step up to a ceramic. Scorpion lists a lifetime warranty on all five series, so the warranty holds either way.

The shade comes from the law
Tint laws in Canada and the USA regulate VLT, the darkness, not the film brand. Each province and state sets its own limits, so check the rules where the car is registered before you quote. A customer who wants heat rejection without dark front windows is a good fit for a lighter ceramic. Shield Plus comes in 70%.
High-end and frameless cars
Frameless windows rub against the seal every time the door opens, so adhesion matters. In our Porsche 911 lesson we explain why we use Scorpion 35 Carbon there: frameless glass sees more wear, so we want strong tack and longevity.
Close with proof
- Show shade samples in daylight instead of describing them.
- Quote Scorpion's numbers exactly. Don't round them up.
- Show photos of your own installs on similar cars.
- Explain what the film warranty covers and what your workmanship guarantee covers.

Frequently asked questions
Which Scorpion film should I recommend for heat?
Shield or Shield Plus. Scorpion publishes the highest infrared rejection figures for these two nano-ceramic series: 82–87% for Shield and 93–95% for Shield Plus.
Which Scorpion films have no metal?
Carbon, Carbon Plus, Shield and Shield Plus are non-metalized. King is carbon-metalized.
How many film options should I show a customer?
Two or three. A short menu, such as carbon, stronger carbon and ceramic, is easier to choose from than five series.
Does the film brand affect whether tint is legal?
No. Laws regulate how dark the tint is (VLT) on each window. Choose a shade that's legal where the car is registered.
