QUOTE(Kr0ll3R @ Nov 21 2022, 05:42 PM) Before anyone question on my 3M film authenticity. Yes, is original. Installed at authorised dealer with e-warranty and has the red/orange reflection water droplet seen on the windows. After lunch w friend, we walked to our cars parked in the open, i sat in his new X70 w 3M Crystalline asked him why so hot? We then went to my second hand 2016 HRV inside much cooler with the same tint. My friend insisted on his 3M tint authenticity as well. If genuine, then 3M manufacturer has reduced the performance of their tint within the same range.

QUOTE(dotaallstarz @ Dec 28 2022, 08:58 AM) Any review for totalgard? Am looking to tint SUV..budget below 1.5k Tint is value for money. Interior still cool after almost 2 years no degradation. Workmanship used to be a hit and miss affair. If sloppy u need time to revisit for rectification.

QUOTE(ayamxxx @ Jan 7 2023, 09:26 PM) For me best bang for money, cheap for the spec. Rm900 including sunroof for their top of the line tint, IRR 99%-100%, based on my car, it really work especially under noon time. Tried last time when parking at Legoland open car park, I can vouch the spec play good part, no scorching hot on my nappa leather seat. Cons, saw some got workmanship issues but for me it covered under warranty. If anything, I will bark to the factory for warranty claim. 29 months user for the said tint. What AngleR35 said is true. Certain variant of Infusion Pro eg vlt 50 is out of stock so they substitute w something from their building range that has a blue tint

QUOTE(Pyjamas999 @ Apr 6 2023, 12:44 PM) If based on their spec, the IRR and TSER are equivalent or better compared to the competition. They say it's because everything is manufactured locally etc Does anyone have any real use scenarios that show it is actually as effective as other tints? Agree w Ayam above their product is value for money. Only problem is inconsistent workmanship, i had to ask them redo due to dust specks trapped underneath tint at eye level. They install at their Kepong factory (office hours and days only) and the work area is not dust free.

QUOTE(echoesian @ Apr 18 2023, 04:33 PM) Just did a quick check, Totalgard films look impressive with IRR up to 100%! However I cannot find a film that has a VLT 70%... did you mix with other film? Above 70% VLT is their lower range Ceramic Plus product. Eg

QUOTE(jeffchuaa @ Jun 2 2023, 03:01 PM) got my recently bought car tinted installed by Totalgard again, last time was their ceramic plus series (Nano Ceramic inorganic) and it performs well, (higher than expected), now opt for infusion pro (sputtering Nano Ceramic) to try out, which I believe will perform well as well. will try their highest option titanium plus (multi-layer sputter) if got another chance What are their prices nowdays for the three ranges above?

QUOTE(popiah04 @ Aug 22 2023, 01:04 PM) 1. Wondering if you guys can recommend some decent tint with fairly good heat rejection, budget about 600-ish, considering this is not a new car. 2. Is there a risk of spoiling the heating element when they tear off the old tint from the rear window? 1. If can travel to Kepong during weekday, Totalgard 2. Yes

QUOTE(Bombgen @ Sep 8 2023, 10:01 PM) Infusion Pro? Their website said 99% haha..was looking for their titanium plus also..hmm seems need to know the true reading only then make decision. Darker tints have higher stats. Was responding to Smart Tag comments so this is my front windscreen at VLT 62%, the stats lower.

QUOTE(Bunny.Hitam @ Sep 15 2023, 11:15 PM) Guys, let say my front glass pecah, and Im using 3M. My insurance cover for the windshield, but does the 3M will reinstall back the tinted ? Is that what the 5 years warranty for ? No. Warranty by tint company is for tint degradation or tint defects. Purchase insurance to cover both windscreen and retint if tint is expensive brand

QUOTE(SportyHandling @ Oct 13 2023, 07:21 AM) So the front windscreen without any tint is already VLT 78%? That's something new to me. If that's the case, theoretically only a VLT 92% tint will work to get the VLT to 70%. In other words, any tint that is 91% or lower on your Kenari will cause the VLT to dip below 70% and thus fail the Puspakom or JPJ roadblock test. Bought a 2016 HRV from a neighbour few years ago, tore off the tint from front windscreen, puspakom test 76%. No point installing any tint if worried about roadblock.

QUOTE(SportyHandling @ Oct 13 2023, 03:55 PM) it was mentioned RM2k fine or jail, so if they take it seriously this time I presume a lot of vehicles will not pass in a JPJ roadblock. That's the reason I am asking if anyone here has experienced his/her vehicle being tested in a JPJ roadblock. I will surely not put any tint on the front windscreen if JPJ is going all out on the operasi. Personally, feel JPJ not going to jail 90% vehicle owners all failing front windscreen test. All my cars range 50-60% for front after installing good tint. More important to me is night visibility, clarity and comfort.

QUOTE(bigduck @ Dec 18 2023, 05:43 PM) Went to tint my new car at totalgard HQ last week, now rear got multiple tiny bubbles, front windshield got bubbles as well. Entire installation took almost 2 and a half hours. Avoid their HQ.. Revisit and fuck them up, ask them to change to higher range free for wasting your time. Ask for the sifu to reinstall instead of the younger guy. Stay downstairs and watch them do.
