Hi Guys,

Recently me and my friend bought a new car, the car salesman offer us llumar tint. After checking around, we find that its a good bargain for the price he offer us.
My friend car get the tint first as he get the car a few day earlier then me. Its quite impressive and the cooling is not that bad. The color of the tint is quite OK ( a little dark...but can still see the driver face).
When my turn to get the car, i found that the back windows is quite clear. I suspect that the back windows is not tinted. I try to run my had over the edge of the screen, but i just can't find the tint line. The line that is there , i think its the default windows heat element line as its very straight. If there is a tint, i think i sure find a uneven line, correct ?
If there anyway to check whether its tinted or not ?

friend..darker tint doesnt mean better or have higher heat resistant. it simply means you will kena jpj saman.

Anyway, just go to a few tint shop and ask them have a look. Sure they check for you.

Hi guys,

I'm still in the midst of going through the thread so I will catch on soon enough. I am getting a new Polo Sedan soon and I was wondering what kind of tint I should get?

The original glass itself is quite dark so I was wondering what kind of safety + heat rejection tint I can get. I am quite keen on the safety aspects because whenever I travel overseas my fiancee will be driving the car. I don't mind losing money but I am very concerned with my fiancee's safety.

For the Heat rejection, I understand even with the best tints around, if my car is parked under the sun for 6 - 8 hours a day, it wouldn't be that much of a difference but it still be somewhat helpful.

So do advise me on what kind of tints I can get. Budget wise, I'm looking at 1-2k ideally, but I am more particular on getting something top notch and if it's worth the money I will increase my budget. There's a price for quality but there isn't a price for my family's lives.

Thanks !

Overpriced

Myvi should be lower price than that because the car count as small car / mini

Vendor said good TSER and IRR with this price range. But I can' t get the newest spec from internet.

The suggestion for the VLT35% for the 2 rear side window and rear windscreen has not get the approval from Parliament yet. It is just a suggestion from Timbalan Menteri talk during the "Bengkel Discussion. But this make me really confuse, before this Ketua Pengarah JPJ, emphasis want to catch dark tinted due to criminal case may happen inside the car as the police officer can't see into the car tinted with dark film, and the new suggestion is helping on the criminal case again as VLT 35% very hard to see thought also.

According to the AAA Association Malaysia, (this is association for audio, accessories, tinted and air-con) their request during the "bengkel Discussion" is list as below :
VLT for the front > 60%
VLT for the rest of window >40%
I think AAA proposal is more reasonable and good for public.

Although we are competitor, but I do agree with your point of view.
AAA Association Malaysia recommendation is more reasonable because some of
the car windows especially front windscreen already 60%-70% before tinted !

Guys, here is my recommendation.

I've tinted my new car at Raytech Bangi. Security tinted package CS85 5 mil at the side with VLT 56%, TSER 56% and IRR 85%. For the front they're given me V90 with VLT 70% and IRR 90%. This place provide waiting room with air-cond and they even played movie, so I'm not bored while waiting my car ready.

My opinion for the tinted? I'd say this is quite a premium one with affordable price! Very satisfied! Great workmanship, good quality of tinted film and I don't feel hot at all although the temp outside is 40c++! No need to enable aircond, just fan is enough even in the hottest day if you want to save your fuel.

Although I do have 3M voucher, (and I do agree 3M is one of the best car tinted beside Raytech, VKool and some others) I never regret of my decision. In addition, the package I got from Raytech give better VLT and TSER compare with 3M, with cheaper price regardless of using that voucher or not.

I definitely recommend Raytech to others, just like few friends that recommend me this brand when I'm getting my car before. Also thanks to Lord Gitsy explanation of car tinted, it was a very good one and easier to understand.

Installed Classic Series (Icy Blue) for front windsreen + CS60 (4 mil) for side windows & rear windscreen on my 2013 Mirage. Raytech SS2.

Free plat number engrave on windscreen & 7" black tint for upper front windscreen. Good service & workmanship.

Since this is my 2nd car. Seldom park under hot sun or travel during hot day time. Can still feel a bit heat because this type of tint only filter 60% IRR. As expected. But still better than not applying any tint.

Applied for 2 weeks, can't say much on the durability. However, I'm quite satisfied so far.

Recently I replaced my 2011 Insight front windscreen because of huge stone chip crack. So, I decided to install Raytech Ultra 70 for front windscreen. Same place. Of course good service & workmanship as expected.

I can immediately feels the different when parked under hot sun during office hour since Ultra 70 reject 97% of IRR. No need to wind down window to cool down the interior. Took around 3 - 5 minutes to feel comfortable using 23 C aircond.

Same as other, initially I also wonder on the reliability or how genuine the tint product on market. After reading few forum thread & internet article, I highly recommend Raytech. Mid range price with good heat rejection option. Of course if want better rejection option, have to pay a bit higher price for high end product (E.g. V97, Ultra 70 + Centurion series). Depend on user needs & budget.

Tint is from US (CLC, Virginia US). Can search on Google. You'll not conned with fake or low grade tint if installed at their authorized shop (E.g. SS2, Bangi). Peace of mind.

7 years warranty. They'll stick installed tint model sticker on your warranty card. They said they'll pay our "saman" for JPJ compliance tint model. Not sure if this is only one time payment or what.

Please look for Nicole the marketing staff or Jess the SS2 branch manager. They can give 10% discount from retail price. Maybe can nego to ask for more discount or good deal. PM me for Nicole contact.

Disclaimer, I'm not Raytech agent or paid by Raytech. I'm just a satisfied user.

Hi,

Are all the Raytech films JPJ compliant? I'm looking at the Centurion RX4mil, VLT only 58%? Infact, all the films seems non compliant

Anyhow I'm no pro, please correct me accordingly.

Most of the tints offered by big brands are not JPJ compliant.. Nowadays our car comes with tinted glass so VLT has been reduced. Unless you tint the clearest tint, or else it is almost impossible to get JPJ compliant though.

VLT 'only' 58%? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that you might not understand VLT clearly.

VLT is Visible Light Transmitted, which is the percentage of visible light that passes directly through filmed glass.
The higher the number,the lighter the film.

So based on these numbers, Centurion RX4 film for example is JPJ compliant, because the required VLT is at least 70% for front, and 50% for side and back. This film VLT is 58%, higher than JPJ requirement which is 50%.

Oh, for the front they'll not set up the same film as the side / back.
For example, Centurion RX4 package usually used:
- V90 non-security film for the front with VLT 70%, and
- RX4 security film at the side and back with VLT 58%.

So, both pass JPJ compliant because the VLT is same / higher than required. I assume this is true for other package and other brands. Unless you specifically request a specific tinted for the front that less than 70% VLT.

Calling Lord Gitsy for further confirmation.

Yeah, this is the real issue. Well cannot blame them though, those film are built assuming every car glass is 100% light transmitted. So, those film are already JPJ compliant, but when combining with our car glass, it become the opposite, not compliant anymore. Haha

That's why usually some tinted film adviser said they can handle if we got JPJ letter, because they can settle it (by proving to JPJ that their film is already JPJ compliant). But if need to check by Puspakom, they might cannot help settle. Puspakom don't care your film JPJ compliant or not.

To be exact correct.

Most of the big brands are offering tint that "compliant with JPJ" but "JPJ never approved any tint brand"

Compliant means that "we" are willing to absorb the cost of "removing, summon and re-tint for the car owner.
