This is more of a general life hack: If you live in a hot place and the inside of your car gets really warm (too warm for you to get in comfortably) and you want to quickly cool it down, here's what you do:

1. Make sure all doors and windows are closed.

2. Fully open a window on one side of the car.

3. Repeatedly fully open and close a door that is opposite (and diagonal if 4-doors) of the open window.

This will force air to circulate inside the car, cooling things down much quicker than say turning the AC on full blast and waiting for 5-10 minutes before getting in.

Alternatively, get one of those expensive tints (3M Crystalline, Suntek CXP) and you won't have to worry too much about this. Also, it's not just the darkness of the tint that determines the amount of heat rejection. I have the 70% Crystalline (medium light) and it performs way better than my brother's super dark limo tint.
