anyone heard about V-Zion tint? Recently my friend buy Kia Carnival which has an original tint (brand name V-Zion). He wanted to darken the tint for rear windows and rear windscreen to avoid prying eye on the car boot, and was offered 2 choice:

1) V-Zion, add-on darken layer, to VLT 20% (for rear windscreen, and rear windows), warranty 5 years.
2) Raytech, add-on darken layer on existing V-Zion tint, VLT 20% (for rear windscreen, and rear windows), warranty only 3 years.

Any comments of which choice to take? Price about the same but Raytech have more IRR/TSER data showed in their website. V-Zion has limited info.

Is it ok to darken the windows & rear windscreen to VLT 20% and not affecting visibility at night? The front windscreen and driver/front passenger tint will remain original tint (VLT 70%).

Used rhinepro for almost 4 years. Cheap (got mine done for less than 1k)

Pros:
Good heat rejection, felt really cooling
My shop got quite good workmanship, no bubbles up till now
Cheap

Cons:
The 70vlt had a blue tint that i didn't like. Obstruct visibility during rain. I went back to shop, they say they never had anyone complain this issue. But nevertheless willing to redo for me. Since they say tint no issue, i also dun doubt them, i jz retint to 50%vlt (since all other windows are fine.) Not jpj compliant but ok la, better than poor visibility during rain (strong light dispersion)
Color fade really quickly. Mine is almost illegal type of dark esp at night. In 2 years, faded a lot. In 4 years, almost completely gone d
Heat rejection also will decrease, but not by alot. Maybe about 20-30% after 4 years.

for budget around 1k I'm considering these few quotations
Raytech AC IRR=65%, TSER=40%  RM750
Raytech FC IRR=75%, TSER=48%  RM1150
Rhinepro black rescue IRR=90%, TSER=40% RM980

any advice on which is better? i'm confused which number to look at for heat rejection.

Yep but the heat rejection loss not that bad la. It's pretty clear now in terms of tint shade, but heat rejection wise definitely not as bad as not having tint. That I can confirm because my car had no tint initially. I drove without tint for a year and I remember vividly how hot the car is without tint. The cabin is never cool, only local areas where the aircond is blowing. When open door, the gust from outside is cooler. And the sunrays, it burns the skin. Am not feeling all of these currently.

Concur on the pros. BB very good heat rejection.
Driving in peak afternoon still feeling cool at 25° aircon.

When you wind down the window or open door, the gust of heats all coming in.
That's when you know you're in a good tint.

I'm just 3months in, no comment on the faded part yet.

Usually the branded one will not faded or less likely faded at 2 years usage. Is it Dye-based film? If it yes than it is norm to faded. A ceramic and metallic based will last longer, iinm
