no. even if it was listed at the website as authorized installer doesn't mean the installer will be installing the original 3M tint. i was cheated by them.
read here:
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=4035234&hl=

best part is 3M is not helping out at all. i'd rather go for v-kool for peace of mind.
my e-warranty card also stated the model of the tint but what was applied on my car was some cheap tint that worth less than RM100. yup, installed by authorized 3M installer. suggest you bring your car to 3M for verification. read below how i was cheated by 3M

Dear all,

After reading many Lowyat postings and forum. I had decided to give my input too for the benefit of others. *Sharing is caring* smile.gif)

Currently using Huper Optik for 7 years. After 7 years, no bubbling or dust or whatsover. I would say is good as new.

However, seems there's some mixed review on 3M or Raytech or last but not least Huper Optik. I am finalizing my shots to either 3M or Raytech or Huper Optik. Both 3M and Raytech has similar price range but Huper Optik is middle range.

3M package is
Windscreen front: Crystalline 70
4 side window: Nano 70s (3 mil safety)
Windscreen back: Crystalline 70
Film type: Multilayer optical film
Warranty: 5 years
General IRR: 97%

Pro:
1. Multioptical film is higher range than ceramic
2. 3M installer is direct shop owner. So any complaint can settle easier rather than need to bring to HQ..bla bla bla

Cons:
1. Not quite scratch resistant i.e. kids using toys/keys to hit my window tint
2. Windscreen smart tag issue.

Raytech package is
Windscreen front: Ultra 70
4 side window: Raytech RX (4 mil safety)
Windscreen back: Raytech RC
Film type: Ceramic
Warranty: 7 years
General IRR: 98%

Pro:
1. Heat rejection seems to be better than 3M
2. Malaysia brand but manufactured in USA. So, perhaps you pay lower but get higher quality tint?

Cons:
1. Shops are owned by parent company. Anything need to deal in process...bla bla bla
2. Price slightly higher than 3M even though they are Malaysian brand

Huper Optik package is
Windscreen front: Ceramic 70 / Sech 60
4 side window: Huper Shield 40 (6mil)
Windscreen back: Ceramic 40/Ceramic 50
Film type: Nano Ceramic
Warranty: 5 years
General IRR: 80%

Pro:
1. Tried and tested for 7 years with no problem
2. Nano ceramic is higher spec than ceramic
3. Scratch resistant

Cons:
1. Huper Optik installer is direct shop owner. So any complaint can settle easier rather than need to bring to HQ..bla bla bla
2. Lowest IR compared to 3M and Raytech


This is for my new ride which will arrive next week. Once I settle with this ride, I will be using the same package for my next new ride as I am waiting it to launch..hehe

So the GOLDEN question:
As both 3M and Raytech are of the same range while Huper Optik is RM 500 lesser than both. What do you guys think?

Actually, does having to pay extra RM500 to get the highest IRR i.e. 97%~98% is actually an overkill ? Or having 80% IRR is good enough already? Normally I just park at the office and work but twice in a month will have outstation trips i.e. 5 hours drive

Kindly post your comment. I hope it will help others in my same position too.

Thanks bro for this review. I fully agrees with this summary.
Nevertheless, base on my experience, we can hardly negotiate in 3M but its always negotiable with Raytech. I tried Huper Optik and Raytech RX, RX is slightly better.
RM500 is quite subjective where some people would say RM500 is kacang putih, some will says thats alot.

when you park your car at the office, is it a covered car park? or its under the hot sun?

Hi bro,

My car will be under the sun. So will try to find a carpark spots under the tree.. biggrin.gif

So far I got quoted for

V-Kool Elite for all Windows is RM2800

Raytech RX RM2900 should can get cheaper

Huper Optik RM1900

Still undecided which one to go for.

V-Kool worry bout discoloration and GPS issue, only 5 year warranty.

Raytech RX seems expensive

Huper Optik price lower but heat resistance seems not as good as those two.

3M no quote yet, heard not so scratch resistant.

Bro, for Raytech, i got quoted lower than RM 2900. If you decide to take Raytech RX, let me know by next week. Because I will be making decision next week.

I try ask the SA give us group buy.. biggrin.gif
