from my experience, never take the sales guy recommendation, esp it is RM1.5k-1.6k. Top up rm500 can take those famous one like, 3M, Vkool, Raytech etc or just go for RM600 no brand one. My brother paid RM1.8k tinted for his BMW for some unknown brand，like your case recommended by sales man. Whether is Psychological or for real, he complaint it is hotter compare to his previous car's Vkool, and the money paid is not worth.

ya, V-Kool is really good, price also good lah .
My V-Kool since year 2009 till today, still no any kind of stain etc, smart tag friendly too.

The price is for windscreen only, are you sure it is cheap? I did 3M last year, RM500 for windscreen only. RM800 is the crytaline grade, I took lower grade one

Sorry, I not sure the name of my grade, I only remember they told me the best grade is crystaline. I opt for lower grade (RM500 compare to RM800), also because this is not my daily car.
This car change name of ownership, and puspakom tear off my windscreen old vkool, side window pass the test. I kind of regret choosing the lower grade one, because this compare side by side to my Vkool (already 4 years) side window, the old VKool feels cooler. Anyway, I get what I pay for lo. Just dont expect after tinted, you car will become super cooling

Ya, it is smart tag friendly, but about 90% la, but I dont think it is the tint problem. Should be the smartag problem, sometimes battery weak, sometimes that smartag toll lane just want to screw with me

Did you try the one at tun aminah, skudai? I was quoted 2.4k through phone straight, no bargain (as I knew 2.4k should be the lowest).
As my rear windscreen old tinted need to remove, they cant guarantee they wont damage the heater stripe. End up i just tint my front windscreen with them.

They are nice and use the equipment to test my VLT (around 85%) and IR (10% iinm, means 90% rejected) with old tinted.
After remove & tinted with the 3m crystalline 60 for front windscreen, they test again and I saw my VLT become just 55% and IR become just 0.2%. (means 99.8% rejected )

Quoted just last Saturday.

First time I drive my usual speed, failed. Said no smart tag detected, and I straight stop and reverse.

Today I drive really slow, at first show no smart tag, but I just continue move forward a bit (saw other ppl comment)
At the end detected and barrier opened.
Smart tag touching windscreen.

Later I am gonna try my usual speed, but continue move forward see can or not.

I use 3M CR60, good. Can feel the different, compare to ayam brand + lower spec's 3M (not crystalline).
But my smart tag cant detect, drive very slow also cant detect.

Never try Huper Optic before.
So if you not using smart tag, dont mind the price, go for 3M crystalline series.

3M cheap one sure fake or lower grade, which imho not worth it at all.

My previous car, retint my FWS with original 3M but lower grade (Not crystalline). It has watermark 3M on the film, is listed as authorized 3M shop. Under sun while driving, hand got burning feel.

My current car, I also retint FWS, but this time with crystalline CR60. Under hot sun while driving, hand no more burning feel.
So for 3M, either get crystalline or just get other brand. FYI, smart tag being blocked by CR60 film

Not sure the grade. RM500 for FWS, still feel hot.
FYI, that car FWS v-kool tinted was peeled off by puspakom, while side window's v-kool remain. I retint FWS with 3M (RM500), felt hand hotter with 3M FWS compare to side window's v-kool.
So I doubt the 3M ebony will be good.

Like I said, either get crystalline 3M or try other brand.

I use 3M crystalline, the heat rejection is good. Waze GPS phone have no problem. Smart Tag 100% confirm not working.
My housing area's RFID is working when placed inside windscreen, not sure about tng RFID.

Ya, 3M ebony is value version of 3M, never try before.
Mine is front 60, all side 40%. If you worry JPJ can get 70/50/20 for peace of mind. If let me choose again, I will take 50/40/40.

RM2300 is worth it, provided they really provide you 3M crystalline.
Few thing to check, ask for invoice, see got eWarranty or not, and google if the shop is 3M authorized shop.

Is it due to my CX5 windscreen or you choose CR70?

I tried 2 different tolls, both way. Smarttag not working. I gave up and open a hole on my CR60. Ugly

I just change windscreen few weeks ago, redo the tint at 3M authorized dealer.
So I guess should be due to the crystalline series you choose or car's windscreen.


From the 3M website spec, all crystalline series is IRR is 97%, except CR90 is only 90%. Not sure if they secretly reduce the spec

Your 3m is crystalline 50 or 60?

Mine Windscreen is Crystalline 60. For RFID, some toll is smooth, some need almost stop. Wonder if Crystalline 70 will be faster

FYI, my car go through PUSPAKOM 2 weeks ago. Windscreen is Crystalline 60, door window is Crystalline 40.
Windscreen and front 2 door window tint kena teared off.
So I doubt your 50% VLT is JPJ compliance.

Is there any Totalgard dealer in johor?

I did 3M windscreen before, they dint charge to remove old tint.
Recently did another unknown brand, they also dint charge to remove old tint.

I did 3M Crystalline 60. I also think not enough.
*Touchwood* If I claim windscreen insurance again. I gonna change front to Crystalline 40 like all my 4 side window. Since Crystalline 60 also wont pass JPJ already.

Most likely cannot pass puspakom.
So far never see any tint can pass puspakom. Even my crystal clear, cheapo, tinted-non-existed, 10 years old tint film also kena tear during puspakom checking.

If price are similar, of course get 3M Crystaline series.
Just need to know smartag not usable for 3M, not sure RayTech

Just get from authorized 3M shop for peace of mind.
