stock windows tinted or privacy glass?

local tint guys are telling my that these windows are not tinted they are just colored for privacy. I want to block the heat out as well as have the fully tinted look. Does that mean i have to offset tint percentages if I want to block UV all the way around?

What would make the rear close to 20% so i could do 20% in the front?

thx

Do a search for the tint level, there are 100's of posts on this site about this topic.

assume the privacy glass is 35% then you need to use 57.5% to get to 20%

you should have the same effectiveness. the "good" film designed for windows tinting will block UV rays regardless of their percentage because the light you see through the tint are basically white light not the UV rays that are already blocked. all you need to do is tint the front to 20% and the back 57.5% (with privacy glass) you will have the same color, same effectiveness entire car. again, pick the good film that block UV rays.
