Does anyone know the difference?
In terms of price and quality?
I only know V-Kool, my choice will be the V-Kool Elite, the common greenish hue one.
How about 3M? Never heard before but I heard it's not bad?
Car Tinting, 3M or Vkool

I cant say about other brands, but i'm currently on the top of the line 3M with safety tint, pretty good i'd say, does a decent job in rejecting heat since my car is parked under the hot sun on a daily basis. The only con is that due to its high IRR, SmartTag will not work most of the time, but GPS still ok.
Paid 2.5k for mine (after discount). |

V-kool Elite rejects heat a little better than 3M crystalline 60/70 at the expense on GPS signal.
The old V-kool had problems with smart tag but it's ok with the newer ones. Don't worry about the "metal rusting" cos on the 2 cars with v-kool in my house, one's been on for 8 years and the other had been there for 5 yrs and they both look no different than when new. Especially the 8yr car, hardly anyone cares for it, parked under the sun more often etc. When I keep testing the difference (cos I keep feeling the 3M is not cool enough), the 3M still can feel the burning sensation on hot days while the V-kool, although difference is not too big feels much better. |
