I have 3 car tinted with 3M crystalline. Quality is as per advertised very good. The only complaint i have is after 4 yrs or 5 yrs, tint coating will became blurr like swirl mark. Very obvious when driving at night. 3 of the car having the same issue. At 1st i was thinking its the windscreen issue but after look properly under the sun confirmed its the tint issue. 2 been replaced under warranty and 1 warranty expired. Tinted at 3M center so its not fake stuff. 3rd car i send for warranty, they dont event have a look already know what is the problem. Means common problem with 3M crystalline.

Llumar on E90 10 old years still awesome with no bubbles or clear as new.
I'd personally go for 35% especially front and rear cos I want rear car following be able to see thru my car especially when they're following behind for safety.

Now I'm worried. My 2 year old car with 3M crystalline. How does the defect look like? I just recently replaced the rear tint due to wrinkling at the sides

Any sifu got use Magnus pro film security. Considering on this since coating premium will get the Magnus pro film for free. The titanium security.

Compare to 3m, llumor, Rhine pro and Magnus pro. Any brand suggest?

I have 2 cars using crystalline for 8 years now still crystal clear and very good heat rejection..no such issue. At least still better than hamel / vkool i have tested at other cars ...3 years the film blurish and bubbles+ degrade irr very fast compare to my 3M crystalline.

Anyone managed to claim windscreen insurance with the tint?

Car was tinted previously but got hit by a stone moments that cracked the windscreen

sure, why not, as long as the sum insured is enough

Going to claim my windscreen insurance and the shop recommended Rayno 8080 with the following specs:
- VLT: 80%
- IR: 80%

But can't seems to find the details of this tint in their website. Anyone has experience with Rayno tint?

Thanks

BTW wanna ask, is V-kool elite still having problem with GPS reception?

My last experience was like 10-15 years ago, where the blockage of GPS signal was driving me crazy

Too dark too low VLT you'll definitely affect night visibility.

And don't think it's only your vision your safety.

Example: if other car cannot see past your rear window that cars in front has stopped suddenly prompting you too stop suddenly, they will bang you.
Imagine it's a big vehicle that cannot stop in time and due to weight, force and momentum greater, more severe impact.

Vehicles behind must be able to see past your car. Worse if you're tall SUV.

even side windows matter! Your side mirrors visibility is important as well when you're overtaking/checking blind spots.
You can say it's motorcyclists fault if they bang you, but your car still damaged and it'll still suck, no?

=Edit due to phone auto correct errors=

Also, car look like seafood or not, should be the least of your concern when it comes to dark tints

My sister's Persona Rayno very good.
Very cooling even under hot sunny day comparable to my darker looking Huper Optik.

Not sure which model she gotten though, VLT definitely much lower than 80 (as in 80% visible, not 20% visible, unless your 80 is terbalik spec and only 20% visible super dark tints )

Thanks for the feedback. Yes the 80% is for the transmittance since it's for the front windscreen, I prefer clear type as it's more visible at night, also lesser issue with JPJ during roadblocks

Did she do it herself? Or through the sales agent? How much was the price?

Did you manage to find anything good in Kuching? I am looking to replace my old 3M windscreen tint thats is not expensive. How much is 3M and Raytech now?

I recommended her to Kepong rainbow as that's where I done my Huper over 10 years ago.

She self paid IINM 2k ish (or just slightly less than 2k introductory price?)

Not through Proton SA

ok thanks again for the info

Hey guys, does anyone know where I can get Anti Glare films for my interior rear view mirror and both external side mirrors?

I'm using V-Kool V40, which is much darker than Elite with about +70% VLT.
No issue with phone GPS reception, but my Thinkware dashcam takes about 5-10 minutes to lock to GPS signal, compared to 1-2 minutes without tinting

Im in miri, lagik worse lol. I not sure buy raytech start from like 700? Probably gonna settle with budget brand.
