i guess am gonna keep this car for at least another 8 to 10 years ler...

from your previous postssss, i guess Vkool elite is by far the best performance clear film of 70% vlt, when comes to heat resistance
VKool = a big hole in pocket... but once and for all ler

thanks Bro

If you want 70% VLT clear tint, VKool Elite is the one. That is my own opinion based on my own experience, other might have different opinion.

As mentioned the pricing I was quoted are sedan size, SUV and MPV should be higher.

VKool has super high pricing and for almost the same specification, Irispro premium DX range with silver-based with titanium metallic offered about 2/3 of the price then for same sedan size.

The issue for me then with Irispro is they don't have 70% VLT for the best range. The highest offered are 60% VLT (on paper, realistic it should be 55 to 57% meter reading).

Still their Diamond 60 are bright enuf, it don't differ too much in reality (still when compare side by side, VKool 70% is obviously brighter but only when compare side by side). Their DX range 60 is noticeably dimmer (55%, that is the one I have) but they have new 70 range (reality, VLT at 60% only). Still at a glance, it is still clear tint.

You can still consider Irispro if you still want metallic based tint if VKool pricing is too hard to swallow. But if you want bright 70%, VKool Elite is still the best, IMO only, other might have different say.

Currently I do have preference for the VLT spec as below that you can consider when you tint. A full VKool Elite is actually a bit too hot nowadays.

1. FWS - 60 to 70% VLT (For Puspakom and JPJ, most tints are not compliant even when listed as 70% VLT on paper, very borderline depending on windscreen thickness, colour, etc. Only those listed 80% VLT are truly safe and compliant but also super hot) - bright front equal more heat thus using the best metallic clear tint are the best in heat resistance and reflection.

2. Front Side - 55-60% VLT on paper (JPJ compliant) - Bright for daily drive, dark enuf to resist more heat.

3. Rear Side and RWS - 30% VLT on paper (JPJ compliant - there is not guidelines here tho, any VLT will do). It is dark enuf to resist most heat BUT it is surprisingly bright and clear for night view, reverse and likely won't cause any claustrophobia for even small cars.

so there are the usual suspects 3m/irispro/raytech
what about magnuspro being mid-range?
see some place like 7autospa also do packages like tint+coat+ppf one shot for 3k lol but ithose always sus for me

I'm also looking low budget tinted.. anything to recommend below rm1k?

Reason after used recond zc33s for 3 month, its not feel really hot compare other car.. so dont want spent too much..

My other car setup:

xpel xr plus 70 ws, 55 fw, 15 rw - tser 52, 53 n 69
- still can feel hot for front windows but acceptable coz vlt is 55%.. rear windows superb coz vlt only 15%.. tser 69.. xpanas langsung... so always look for higher tser when compare with other tint brand/spec. The problem is budget tint below 1k does not privide this tser value.. so cant compare...

If no other recommend, then no choice.. will go for Hamel. i have good experience with my prev hamel platinum... so might go back to hamel coz result not much different compare more expensive tint... but this time might go for hamel signature...

Platinum good? IrisPro Elite seems to able to get a decent price after nego but can't decide between both now. IrisPro TESR much lower than Hamel though, and Hamel also have JPJ warranty 😅

If quality of both tints are on par, do take the TSER difference with a pinch of salt. We are not even sure how each brand calculate their TSER. IMO, I don't even think they use same formula to calculate them.

Does Hamel Platinum truly have much higher TSER than Irispro Elite?

Becoz I saw in their website (no detail specs), their listed TSER range from 63 to 77. Did not mentioned the VLT, but at the same screen uses 50, 15 and 5 VLT pic. So I am assuming that it might mean that TSER 63 refers to 50%VLT and TSER77 refers to 5% VLT. Just a guess work as I might miss seeing the full specs of their platinum series.

If above is correct, then Elite 50VLT has TSER of 67 and 5VLT has TSER of 85. That should be higher than hamel if you just want to compare paper specs.

However as mentioned I would take the TSER as an initial guideline only. It likely won't be an apple to apple comparison. So if reading a near a similar range, just treat them the same (for branded tints, no name brand can listed sky high TSER but likely can't really back it up long term).

I still feel VKool Elite TSER 55 seems to worked more effectively than others that listed 60++ at 70VLT. So my bias of high quality metallic sputters vs nano-ceramic (just my preference due to metallic has better heat reflection differs than that of ceramic absorbation properties.

As for JPJ summon warranty, I think I saw in website that the warranty apply if you follow using JPJ compliant tint....but then if choose JPJ compliant specs.....then what is there to summon? Mmmm. Maybe in reality, they just cover all JPJ summons regardless of tints compliancy? Some brands do that.

Has anyone used Kropelin tint. Are they good? Would appreciate any feedback..thanks

Me too me too

I used it before they changed name, previously it was called Haverkamp.

50% front and 20% rear. I think it is quite good considering the price. No issuea with RFID and Smart Tag. Had it for 5 years. Sold off the car.

Hi, my old car wanna do tint can I just do the front 3 glass? Reason is because I wanna protect my dashcam and the passenger seat and back glass alrdy have tint long ago. Just feel that the front heat rejection not that good and can do it darker

Hi, anyone experienced streaking on window tints before? It’s streak marks that somewhat resemblance of the pattern that installer would run their squeegee.

Had this tint installed in May 2022 at N*C**l in Cheras area, price was around 7xx on C-seg sedan. Shop warranty 7yrs. It actually has quite a lot of tiny bubbles (mostly visible from outside), and recently started showing a lot of streaks. Only the side windows, can’t see any on the front and rear WS.

Usually these defects is claim warranty?

Yes. Under warranty

hi, I just want to confirm the hue/colour of the stock tint used in Proton cars. Is it light green or gold? Additionally, what aftermarket tints are available in the same hue/colour nowadays? I don't wish to spend too much on a 10-year-old car, and my maximum budget is 1.5k.

From Hamel's Website

"The only difference is that the Batman series is still JPJ compliant even if you wish not to follow the regular JPJ compliance stated by JPJ. The JPJ compliance is in terms of VLT is 70% for the front windscreen, 50% for the 2 driver's side windows and 0% for rear side windows plus the rear windscreen. So, with the Batman series package you can choose not to follow the JPJ compliance but your car is still JPJ compliance. But with the Hamel Signature package you need to follow the regular JPJ compliance in order for your car to be JPJ compliant."

TLDR: They insure the illegal tint by covering your summons, going above JPJ VLT limit is not JPJ compliant in any sense of the word

You can even tint 1/3 of your windshield, it's really up to you. The films don't come pre-cut or in a package.

It's a good idea to maintain your rear tint so you don't have to risk damaging the demister

Thanks a lot for the feedback
