Hi,
I need to purchase some sort of film(or even spray) for windows that allows those inside to see out, but outside not to see in. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendation. Thanks.
 
You mean like window tint. Check out the yellow pages or call any local alarm/stereo installer as they usually do tint. I do not suggest doing it yourself.
 
Be careful. Be very careful.

Most of those tints end up being heavily metallic. Depending on the exact brand of car/alarm and radar detector that you have they
- either make them useless. Hence thieves/vandals dont get scared away early on.
- reduce their efficiency terribly.

My 5th Gen Clifford. Is almost totally useless because of the metallized tinting that I bought the car with. The moroninc alarm installer didnt even bother telling that it was something I should have checked for.

The Ceramic/Dye based ones do not affect the radars. All tints affect the effectiveness of the internal laser detectors. However I am not sure that you can achieve the reflection effect without using metallized tints.

Do more research if you have a radar based alarm/detector..
 
For a good ceramic based tint, look into Formula One Pinnnacle Series. Good with heat reduction as well. I have it in my black on black.
