Do old cars like Wira or Kancil absorb more heat than newer cars because I find that on a hot sunny day after switching off the car the heat radiates out from all sides of the car and it feels like a convection oven inside makes you want to exit the car ASAP. Where as I don't find newer cars being so heat radiating despite non tinted. Does tinting old vehicles benefits much if this case?
A big amount of heat comes thru the glass/windscreen. So yes, tinting old vehicles (with reputable brands or just use much darker tints if want to reduce cost) still benefits a lot with heat reduction.
My oldest car not as old as wira or kancil but still 20 years old liao. Changing to premium tint and darker one makes in heaven and earth in heat reduction under direct noon sun. Big different. However if you leave car many hours under super hot sunlight, new car, old car, the accumulated heat still hit super high, not too much difference.
In terms of heat reduction, tints just slows down the heat penetration, leave it under sunlight super long, it will still be super hot. But leave it for 2 or 3 hours, tint (tints that worked) and no tints, big difference inside the car.
Heat penetration while driving, tint and no tint also big difference in keeping cool temp inside car. Old car or new cars, the tints will still work.
