QUOTE(Antzfield @ Mar 13 2020, 06:11 PM) Would like to check to sifu here if you can advise. If we need to sell car, we need to have the car send for Puspakon inspection and would like to know the stock Mazda (think Konica brand?) tint, if able to pass? ie. no need to tear down as it is a stock tint from Mazda. Anyone experience? Most likely only the front will failed The front both side should be ok if the original film VLT is around 60-70% as the limit is 50% But if your front is around 80% you can give try as well This post has been edited by I'm V-Kool: Mar 13 2020, 10:58 PM

QUOTE(xAmdx @ Apr 8 2020, 05:19 PM) How much for rhinepro? Truthfully I have no idea about the quality as there is so many brands out there. Back then I knew V-kool is the premium one . For example I had a budget of 3-5k to tint my SUV, which brand should I go to? With this kind budget can go for V-Kool or 3M Multilayer sputtered metalized film

QUOTE(iPhoneFag @ May 30 2020, 10:39 AM) Hi, can anyone recommend a tint for my car? Currently looking between Huper Optik, Hamel and Haverkamp Woah you are looking at all Ceramic Film. Worried about GPS or Smart Tag interference? Bear in mind, ceramic have lower heat conductors compare to metal. In other words, metal based film perform better. Just imagine when you are cooking using metal and ceramic pot. Which one usually retain heat?

QUOTE(ad3rb33n @ May 31 2020, 11:34 AM) Hi Lyn sifus, after much surveys, a typical branded brand tint easily cost 3k++ but I still feel that good workmanship+less popular can get a equally or not,close enough athalf of that price or below 2k (just my own 2 cent ). I do understand warranty and brand do factor a lot in their pricing hence give you assurance and peace of mind.. Is a new car, so I don't mind invest a good one, I just wanted to know what else out there options base on use experience, I seen a lot mainly ard HU, V-kool, llumar,3M. Went to few shops but demos been too "gimmick" and sales rep seem to be like a too "commercialized". Is my hunch correct? Have you visited V-Kool shop? We are straight forward to the demo We sell what customer want not what we want to sell to customer This post has been edited by I'm V-Kool: May 31 2020, 08:50 PM

QUOTE(1234kingbling @ Jun 16 2020, 07:47 PM) What is the darkest to tint the rear windscreen without having issues seeing at night through the rear view mirror? 85% darkness or 95% darkness? Depends on how good is your eyesight but safe bet around 20% VLT

QUOTE(Hot101Dog @ Jun 18 2020, 04:55 PM) Hi all Sis & Bro, Don’t too panic on the value show for tinted film. Here was a very good video for the explanation. This Solar Guard film was very high grade. But, I unable to get it with value for money price😅 https://youtu.be/ZfOMpDzXd18FYI, that is SOLAR GARD and their LX Series is comparable with V-Kool high end series with 7 years warranty. You can have both combination as both brand are under one roof

QUOTE(Hot101Dog @ Jun 18 2020, 06:04 PM) Hi Bro, Not to anti Vkool, is just some explanation for what is IR and how it calculate. Vkool is good film. Just the price was expensive. I agree with you that V-Kool Price are premium (above 2k++ high grade) because good comparison just like BMW vs Honda, Dyson vs Midea

QUOTE(Hot101Dog @ Jun 18 2020, 06:07 PM) If you want to bullet proof film, the window might now able to wind down. But bullet proof was to protect so window must be always up right😅 That time my friend ask American to test, but AK47 bullet still can punch in very close distance. But for shot gun, is bullet proof. Not check for the film. Is not typical use. Bear in mind, there is not such thing as BULLET PROOF WINDOW FILM Safety film in the market only provide SHATTERED RESISTANT and not even SHATTERED PROOF Please do not be fool by any marketing video. Get yourself a good heat resistant film is most sustainable investment for yourself and car interior

It just like renovate our house, we can buy the tile our own and hire Sifu to paste it. Sounds possible, I know some others country have this type of service. By they way, which part you from? The question how to claim warranty in case workmanship or product defect problem arise?

QUOTE(1234kingbling @ Jun 25 2020, 11:11 PM) Hi, is it normal to remove door panels to apply the tint? Yes because more easier to install and reduce peeling problem in the future. We do not completely remove the door panel, we only loosen up the upper part only For safety film it can hold stronger from the bottom.

QUOTE(constant_weight @ Jun 28 2020, 08:20 PM) There are one time use clips that break upon removal. No matter how careful, it is designed for 1 time use. So even upper part need to new clips replacement. Those are cheap clips, but most shops don't care as long as it holds. That cause door panel rattle. Volvo door trim is known to support graceful removal without breaking anything. BMW is garuntee to break some clips. Depends on brands. It's basically depends on how skillful technician when lifting the upper panel. But I can tell you that lifting the upper panel will ensure lesser problem arise in future. Bear in mind, who want to make job difficult when they can install it without lifting up the upper panel.

QUOTE(constant_weight @ Jun 29 2020, 08:56 AM) Bear in mind you can make the job perfect by replacing the broken clips with brand new after installation. You can reduce the damage, but you ought to break a couple of D2 clips, anyone removed the trim before will know. They are cheap anyway, I have 40-50 spare at home. This is a improvement suggestion for you to improve your work quality. Take it positively and don't need to argue my friend. End of the day I am just explaining as business to customer why it necessary to remove the panel. At the same time we wont denied customer seek replacement/claim if we damaged their clip. I always remind my technician to check on customer car after installation P/S : Did we do installation on you car and break the clip? If YES I apologize to you otherwise the word "YOU" indicated we damage your car my friend This post has been edited by I'm V-Kool: Jun 29 2020, 12:43 PM

QUOTE(Xccess @ Jun 30 2020, 06:05 AM) Anyone installed security tint from Raytech lately? I have a V-Cool tint on Merc GLA 250 installed last year but facing issues with RFID detection at condo's entry. My Subaru XV have no issue and it's using Raytech. Ain't sure if this is due to the thickness of the windscreen for continental car. Am expecting another car coming soon. Still surveying around for tint and coating. Its due to sputtered layer metalized technology in V-Kool itself. Some condo using short/weak range RFID will have this problem because the signal will be block.
