There are basically two types of automotive window films available today: Dyed and high performance metallized. Dyed or Non-Reflective Automotive Films are just that, dyed polyester with an adhesive and scratch resistant coating on them. This type of film offers the minimum life span, but is warranted for as long as you own your car. Metallized or High Performance Automotive Films have a layer of metal over top of the dyed polyester. This construction allows the film to last longer, as the metal coating helps to better protect the film and subsequently your vehicle and passengers, from damaging sun rays. Metallized Films offer superior protection and longevity and is warranted for a lifetime.

What the law has to say in Ontario - For the drivers compartment, right and left, no film can be installed that would substantially obscure visibility from the exterior. Behind the drivers compartment, any film can be installed.
