while Totalgard has very good 100% IRR... you will still feel heat coming through...

however the biggest flaw imho is that the film is very hazy when hit by strong sunlight... the darker one goes the more hazy it looks...

Thanks for the feedback. That explains why it's not that expensive.

For clear tint, I think VKool Elite (at least the original 70 series) still has the best heat reflection feature for clear tint. Other might state better TSER but real life performance for the clear tint cannot match up. It is durable too. Last 12 years parked usually under hot sun before tint started blurring. Got 3 cars to prove its durability over the decade. The only thing is the pricing has become super premium too, cannot afford it liao.

Given the 2 aka VKool and 3M Crystalline, I would still take VKool Elite anytime but the price can blow a very big hole in pocket. Of course if someone driving a tesla or high price cars, that might be peanuts to them tho.

Anyway even VKool Elite also can fail JPJ for front windscreen depending on vehicles. All my old VKool Elite on old City, Civic and persona are in mid 60+ readings. Suprisingly harrier got around 70 based on a forumer who has one.

Price has gone up so much. I still remember being charged RM1800 for the whole car back in 2003, at The Tint Shop back then.

1 week review,
overall installation is good,no bubble,installation done by cainis staff.
i attached magnetic sunshade on 4 side of windows for extra heat rejection.

front windscreen and driver+passenger folo jpj spec
behind windscreen 15% vlt back passenger 5% vlt
if i park in sunny day,when i go in car will feel hot and warm cuz of the air is hot,but for awhile after turning on aircond,will feel better dy.
So far i can say my hand doesn't get burn when driving in hot weather.Overall experience of the tint is good,with 10 years warranty..i will review back if i found out got problem with the tint and see if the warranty claim is fast or not
rm488 i think nothing to complain dy plus they're local brand with own hq,so no need worry will close down.
Overall for small budget like me,can try this brand ya.

Location kat Kepong KL,just search totalgard on map
