I used it before they changed name, previously it was called Haverkamp.

50% front and 20% rear. I think it is quite good considering the price. No issuea with RFID and Smart Tag. Had it for 5 years. Sold off the car.

Hi guys. Anyone installed raytech tint b4? How was it especially heat rejection? I just got a CX5 and salesman gave me a rm500. Raytech tint voucher. Thanks.

You only need to change the windscreen tint, as the supplied tint by mazda on the rest of the windows are really good dy.

just saw this ads over facebook, new 3m crystalline coming soon.

i have checked the spec, this is non-metalized tinted, and the spec is very similar to the original 3m crystalline thumbup.gif

new 3m crystalline blk spec:
[attachmentid=11521766]

Looks like meh specs.. low TSER. even for crystalline, i find the heat rejection is no more up to today's standard. i'm using one and i feel there are better tints out there.

my other car was installed with Regal wingard, back in 2015, the main reason, the SA of this brand said this product can use smart tag without issue. And based on own usage, yes it is. 2015 price was kinda ok and the branch outlet was plenty. The heat rejection was good, almost as good as 3M crystalline of my buddy's car at noon time. I think this brand is Mercedes Malaysia stock tint back then

2020 bought another car, ask this brand quotation for the same product. price was too premium at that time vs 2015, so skip and use local brand of tint instead

i'm actually hoping it is better than 3m.. i got CR70 for the FWS, and wife still say can feel the heat.. so for her car, i'm looking for something better. got a good quote for wingard which i think the price is quite competitive.

TSER for heat rejection are usually divided into ratio of 3% UV, 53% IR and 44% VLT.

3M has high IR and UV, so that covered for most 56% of heat rejection portion.
For the VLT portion, having a high 70% visibility means you only block about 14% off the 44% VLT portion with 30% heat still get thru (not accurate but just use for better understanding). Increasing the darkness of the tint aka lower VLT aka 50, 30, 15, etc, will reduce the heat getting thru proportionately.

So if you want minimal heat to get thru, then use dark tints with minimal visibility but for front windscreen, that is quite dangerous or illegal.
So do not expect CR70 or any tints with bright 70% VLT will greatly block heat. What they can do is minimize heat get thru so that your skin won't have those super heat bite/pain or at least feel minimal heat bite when under direct sunlight.

IMO, I don't think Wingard can do any better than the proven 3M CR70 on heat resistance at 70% VLT, so don't expect much unless you lower the VLT further to reduce heat from the VLT portion of TSER.

Even VKool and Irispro metallic based tint that reflect heat WILL still get lots of heat thru at 60-70 VLT. It can't be avoided as the appx 44% of heat comes from how much light you let thru, the brighter the hotter. Just much less hotter than lousy or no tint at all especially with the IR and UV ratio taking care of the remaining half of the heat.

i'm not going to replace the 3M on my car.. just gonna install Wingard to wife's car. price is much cheaper than 3M & others. going for Ceramic based for her convenience to use smartag (and also 2x rfids).

Being Quoted for RM 2500 for crystalline series

You need to check and confirm with them, if the package is fully Crystalline. Some shops mix Crystalline+Ceramic/Black Beauty to lower the package price.
