Top brands already RM3k, so means Horus will be RM4k like that la sweat.gif

Hi all 😊

Appreciate your opinions.

Going to buy Honda City.

If in house, Ecotint better than 3M?

Considering:

1. Ecotint-Ray Barrier 4+ rm1666 (Honda Authorised)
    VLT ??, IRR ??, TSER 60
or

2. Raytech FX rm1400 (Sales said is Honda Panel)
    VLT 58, IRR 75, TSER 48
or

3. Raytech MX rm2200
    VLT 59, IRR 85, TSER 56

Seems RB TSER higher and cheaper compare to RTmx..
But Ecotint RB i searched online no details for the VLT and IRR at all. Anyone know?

Although one site said it is from Sumitomo.. I searched Japan official web also no such product..

Main concern: UV, Heat, Security.
Budget: rm1500-2000.

Also, some sales said do at panel won't void the related parts warranty (eg, the window, the door) and definitely won't void the engine warranty. Is it true??
*
If void warranty of window / door parts mayb got some logic bcos the tint guy need to open the door panels slighty to install the tint.
But void warranty of engine... doh.gif is like installing screen protector on your phone and the manufacturer want to void warranty of your phone battery

My hilux using the Raytech MX for the sides and back window, IRR85 is OK for me, but still feel abit hot so I would go for IRR more than 85

Hi sifus. I am looking to install the Raytech Top RX series. Will it have problems with phone waze navigation? Will love to hear some insight and reviews of current Raytech user. smile.gif
*
My toyota hilux installed the top end tint from Raytech FWS, IRR97% and the rest all MX series IRR85%
Waze still consider OK, but the moment u go under a bridge / flyover terus lost positioning
Smart tag wise i didnt face any problems at toll gate

I have bubbles on the rear window of my car. Is it possible to replace that section only or need to replace all tint?
*
Yes, normally possible to replace just the rear window section only
Do note the rear window tint is the most tricky part for car tinting, as it has possibility to damage the heating element of the rear window when removing the tint

The link supposed to shared details about the tint to attract potential buyer. What is the TSER, IRR, VLT percentage.
Some new brand even give degradation warranty which attracts buyer to try it. This one bacteria what correlation with heat rejection also not sure
*
Ya true, normally tint will share the TSER IRR but this tint promote anti bacterial which no relation to heat rejection
Most probably is just normal TSER IRR so just only promote the anit bacterial kut

Some update for me, 2 weeks after installation.
So far so good, still cold even that I left my car directly under the noon sun for 2 hours (outside temperature during noon ~35°C).
Refer to sharing from above, perhaps @ayamxxx can share with you more about Totalgard.
For IrisPro (Elite Series), so far so good but too early to judge for me.
*
So far Im using Hamel tint, the main tint with 97% IRR (FWS) seems OK and doing its job, but the sides (95% IRR) i can still feel the burning sensation on my skin when sun shine directly on my hand. Though when i wind down the window, the sun bakar my skin terus not even 0.5 secs sweat.gif

Also parking under hot sun for about 30mins - 1hour my car feel like oven d, although cool down fast la when on aircond to the max for awhile.

This Irirspro is it ceramic based or sputter metal type d? I chose Hamel bcos of ceramic base which not affect signal for GPS / Handphone / Smart tag

IrisPro claimed nano titanium.

So far no problem with RFID and GPS using Huawei P20 pro.

For smart tag, my car come with built-in smart tag, thus I cant comment.
*
Nano titanium? Means like sputter metal inside the film la?
My car is Myvi, have the built in smart tag also

Smart tag definitely not working which due to irr rate rejection. But GPS Proton HU, waze hp working normally. As well as my old remotes gate

2nd questions due to price offered and they give me degradation warranty as well.
*
Less than Rm1k for whole car with such high IRR and TSER specs i think consider good d if last for 3 years
Too bad smart tag not working, so means built in smart tag also wont work.
I wonder if we maintain the FWS with ceramic tint but all the sides and back windows do sputter metal type tint, will have issue with smart tag / waze / GPS / handphone signal or not hmm.gif

My other car, i did install it with ceramic tint for the sake of smart tag iirc with 95% IRR. It cost me rm2k+ 5 years ago.

Reason why i dont mind the smart tag cz my wife car will use majority rfid, hence i pick up the highest heat rejection for it.

I am firm believe that if u want the smart tag to work, take maximum 95% IRR rate, where with ceramic it work effortlessly while with metallic based, it sometime laggy a bit. This without need to cut hole or something.
*
I currently using ceramic tint, 97% IRR FWS and 95% IRR on other windows
No problems at all for smart tag / gps / waze / phone signal, but I can feel the the sunlight slightly burning my skin on a very hot day and if park for about 30-40 mins under hot sun the car already like oven

Honestly i also using llumar pipl 50 nano ceramic, 72% IRR & 50% TSER for FWS and llumar T8-20, 95% IRR & 64% TSER for windows & rear screen.

No problem with smart tag / gps / waze / phone signal. I was tinted at year 2018 and the saleman said pipl 50 is highest spec at that time on good for FWS and spent RM2100 for full car, after tinted it does block the heat but also will feel the heat is very hot if after few hr put under the sun as it is ceramic without metallic material inside. The reason also choose ceramic also because of smart tag issue on stack sputter.

llumar is good for security as hv 8 mil and it is really thick and secure but solar performance is still lack vs Vcool elite that i did at another car.

Recently change my car windscreen so i would like to try on sputter tinted as my major concern is the high heat reflection. My firiend is using Solar gard is not bad but quite pricey and would like to consider Total gard as well..
*
My ceramic tint also about RM2k for full car, 97% IRR FWS and 95% IRR other windows VLT following JPJ specs, yet when sunshine direct on my skin during hot day i can feel the slight burning sensation on my skin.

Previously before this i was using raytech on my other car, the heat rejection quite good as was using sputter metal, but it caused some interference with smart tag, GPS (waze) and phone signal although the seller insisted no effect signal & cost me RM2.5k last time.

As i think multiple stack sputter only will interference the smart tag, gps and hp signal but tinted with single stack sputter mix with ceramic material (ex: total gard infusion pro) still affected smart tag (IR) but GPS & phone signal are working as some user comment before.
*
Not sure, but i dont think its worth to spend alot on the tint that cause interference with our devices, though i guess its a tradeoff whether u want pure heat rejection or some heat rejection without interference

May i know what series of raytech u used? RC series? I survey raytech too the sales also told me no interference with smart af, gps and phone signal. The propose series is RC solar tinted.
*
I forgot what series it was ad, as that was 8 years ago at least.

I can confidently say there is some level of interference for my Raytech film last time, meaning if without the film is 100% signal strength, with the tint the signal mayb bcom 60-80% strength.

Didnt notice problems with smart tag (mayb bcos i drive slowly at the toll gate), but for gps and cellphone signal the moment I drive under a flyover, terus will loss signal on GPS and cellphone signal drop quite bad. Sometimes when im driving my car on waze, my car icon will jump here jump there as though my car "teleported" to the other lane brows.gif

I can't vouch for Hamel Gold series but I have been using their top range Hamel Royale since early 2018 on my CX-5
I did mine at their Shah Alam Section 15 branch, and their workmanship is top notch.
Only early this year I changed my front windscreen tint to VKool V40 as I did change the original cracked windscreen using my windscreen insurance coverage, hence I change the tint also.
The rest of the windows are still using Hamel Royale and after almost 4 years, I did not notice any drop in performance or discolouration at all.
The rear windscreen tint also doesn't have any bubbling like those cheap tint
*
Would like to ask, is your phone signal / smart tag / GPS signals affected after using the front windscreen VKool?
I opted for Hamel last time bcos it is nano ceramic which shouldnt affect all these signals, but since the front change to VKool, I would like to know does it affect these signals?
