After reading this thread for some time, decided to give Totalgard a try.

Given that their workmanship is questionable according to some reviews here and the fact that i'm not based in Klang Valley, it means I will have to make a special trip up again in order for them to rectify any potential issues that may arise in the future.

Is there another installer with more consistent workmanship that I can rely on?

All specs are bull shit.  Few years ago, when install new H City for wife, salesman recommend 3M and also cheaper so we tried it.  Immediately after installed and park under the sun days later, I just keep quite but my wife (she dont know any spec or tech) notice it and said how come 3M is hotter compare to my car vkool when first go into the car under the sun.  Then go to smart tag jam all the cars behind... I ask her to open windows and put out smart tag!!!

Yes, I do agree on the 3M crystaline heat rejection.
I have my car fully tinted with 3M Crystalline 60 & 40 rest.
I can still feel the heat driving in the hot afternoon, worst if you're in a crawling traffic. Have to full blast aircon.

I went to 3M after many positive reviews on the Crystalline series.
Man, I'm so disappointed.

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.

Any recommended shops for V-Kool Elite in Johor Bahru? I checked https://v-kool.com.my/ and there are only a couple of shops, package is listed for RM3950. Only the shops listed here are authorized? Thx

Was quoted 5k for Vkool Elite and 2.5k for Huper Optik. Is Vkool worth the 2.5k premium? My budget is about RM3k but I don’t mind topping up if it’s worth it.

i using 3M crystalline for 4 years++ still very good heat rejection for my Alza . Better than irispro/total gard from my other family member cars . Price wise 3M 2.8k to 3k++ is already very good heat rejection compared to vkool 4k++ ohmy.gif

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.

Hey, saw that you've been using Totalgard for quite some time, does the tint suffer low angle haze as bad as this?

Where to get tinting for Mercedes car?

According to SA, better use their own tinting Premium Guard due to electronic & wiring may cause short circuit if not install properly by other vendor, and warranty is gone if happens. But I would like to explore my options.

Lol. So what if u got e-warranty ? Doesn’t prove it’s original. Probably yours is fake 3M that’s floating on the market.
