Your friend is technically correct although factory tint is generally around 85 - 90 % light transmission. The majority of aftermarket tints start off at 50% light transmission and then in decreasing values because there isn't a huge market for paying a few hundred dollars and only knocking off 15%. If there weren't some tint to auto glass you would absolutely fry like a bug under a magnifying glass so they treat the glass to filter out the nasty wavelengths.
