If you have been the automotive aftermarket for a while — whether on the wholesale side, a Supplier, or running a window tint shop — you’ve probably noticed a shift in what customers are asking for. It’s no longer just window tint for privacy or PPF for paint protection. Over the past few years, there’s been a growing interest in exterior windshield protection films and even sunroof protection films, especially in regions or markets where car restyling is popular.

KSB (Kashibang), a manufacturer that many distributors might already recognize for window film or PPF products, it has quietly become one of the companies shaping this trend. Their lineup of colored windshield films — plus the AK70 sunroof model — has started to appear more often in B2B catalogs and product discussions.

So, What Exactly Are Colored Windshield Protection Films?

At the simplest level, these are protective films made for the outside of the windshield. That alone makes them interesting — traditional tint is applied inside, but external films deal with the heat, UV, debris, and surface stress before the windshield absorbs anything.

And unlike normal tint, these films add something extra: a visible color tone — blue, red, or a clean transparent look. Customers get a mix of protection and personalized style. Installers get something they can upsell easily. And wholesalers get a product that sits nicely between tint and PPF in terms of price and demand.

A few years back, KSB launched the clear windshield protection film and in 2025, the sunset red and blue are now available in the product line-up.

KSB’s Windshield Film Lineup AK70/85/86/88/90

One thing KSB does well is categorizing their windshield films in a way that makes sense for wholesalers. Instead of dozens of SKUs, they focus on a few models that cover most customer needs.

AK85 — For Customers Who Want Clear Windshield Protection Film

AK 85 is a clear, transparent thin film that is installed on the exterior of the windshield film to protect it from the road debris, small stone ships. It has the advantages –

• High transparency
• 99% UV blocking
• Solid impact and chip resistance
• Works for both front and rear windshields

It is the most widely used windshield film for window tint shops. Most end users want something invisible to protect the windshield and this is it.

AK86 — The Blue Option (Clean, Modern, Youth-Oriented)        

Royal Blue is one of those colors that always stays in trend. It gives a car a classic， fresh, slightly futuristic look without pushing too hard.

What installers tend to like about it:

• Noticeable but not overly bright
• Good IR/UV performance
• Stable weather resistance
• Looks especially good on silver, black, and white cars

AK86 is a quick upsell item when the clients want something more unique and make their drive stand out in the crowd.

AK88 — The Red Film (Sporty, Eye-Catching)

Passion, unique- the Sunset Red films aren’t subtle — and that’s exactly why they sell in certain markets. Some drivers love bold styling and want people to notice their cars from a distance. This film is basically AK86’s “twins” sharing similar strength and durability but with a more aggressive look.

AK7595 — The High Heat-Rejection Model

If you ask installers what customers complain about most in summer, it’s usually heat. That’s why IR rejection numbers matter.

AK7595’s 98% IR rejection makes it particularly valuable in:

• Southeast Asia
• The Middle East
• Mexico
• Southern United States
• Australia

Wholesale buyers who supply these regions often rank this film as one of their “premium necessity” items.

Sunroof Films Are Becoming Part of the Package

It’s not just the windshield anymore. Panoramic roofs have made cars look better, but they also bring extra heat and sometimes safety concerns. That’s where AK70 (Gray) — KSB’s sunroof film — comes in.

It offers:

• 20% VLT (nice balance between shade and visibility)
• 90% IR rejection
• 100% UV blocking
• A surface that resists water, dust, and minor scratches
• A self-healing effect when warmed

For many wholesalers, offering a windshield film without a matching sunroof option feels incomplete; AK70 fills that gap nicely.

A Few Words About Materials — Simple but Useful

KSB uses a multi-layer structure for their exterior films. Not every customer wants technical jargon, so here’s the version most B2B buyers appreciate: The protective layer (Japan-sourced for clarity) keeps the surface clean. The anti-fouling/hydrophobic layers help with rain and dirt. The TPU/KPU substrate manages impact resistance and durability. Ashland adhesive (U.S. brand) ensures stable, long-term bonding. Self-healing coatings help with fine scratches. The meaningful takeaway for wholesalers is: these films are built to survive outside the car, not just look good in a brochure.
