Hi,
I am looking for some advise here.
I am not sure which car tint is advisable to go.
I am an Altisan, and since the original glass alredy have UV protection, i am not sure should i go for a high end tint film or just got for a normal one will do.

From what i know is VKool, Huper Optic, RayTech, 3M, Solar Gard and Eco Tint.

Any recomendation? Considering price and the performance.

Thanks for all your replies ya! biggrin.gif

3M crystalline is good, so is the price
vkool (do note, it's k for kool, not c) is good, so if the price too, and there are some case of oxidization after the warranty ended
rike cool is good too, price price still high for the better grade ones

using air cool. got many branches, 1 i puchong 1 in ipoh all over also got.
I tinted my whole car for about RM800. This is inclusive of front windscreen.

My daughter's accord i tinted for RM700. Also the same place. They had one in sunway mas but closed down and shifted somewhere.

Last i asked a kenari/kancil/kembara is only RM550. Reasonable with quality ensured. Highly recommend that place. Cause when i went to brothers they gave me chapmak tint and charge me about the same price. Crazy. They see car to produce the pricing. Just because u drive a luxury car doesnt mean u need to pay more.

Highly recommend air cool.

I have seen many Ah beng cars out there with cheap tinting. Looked good when it's new but slowly, seemed like some glue-like, blurry liquid has formed between the tinting film and the windscreen. And it's not one small spot but covered the entire sheet. That's very fugly and made the car looked cheap. For that reason I'd rather spend more on reputable brands.

I see a lot of goldish tints on the cars outside. It's hard to see inside becos of the reflection. What tint is this? Is it good?

i've been using V-Kool for 3 years on 2 cars.. each of then also V-Kool Elite the top tinting film... 2k each.. but both also no USE one.. coz everytime i put my car under the hot sun it still the same.. like no blocking of sun

BUT i've change using wingard
the warranty is 10years & the price for my car is 2k (mazda6) 2000cc
heard from the guy saying tat the film is 3 times normal tintin thickness which i confirm it YES !! tested it oledi..
it also can avoid ppl breaking glass.. it can withstand helmet, baseball bat ,large wood... & sharp spike.. but after sum attempt on the sharp spike the glass got a hole but the spike did not come out easilly need to use leg support to pull it out..
(btw i'm not wingard salesman..)
btw regarding the sun light it blocks alot.. but the choice is urs.. u can go check it out... @ pandan indah.. if u stay tat near...

i'm vkool elite user, rm1400 for honda city

my opinion is :-

= too expensive tint

= good heat rejection

= high % of light passing thru ( which is good coz JPJ sure approve, but some ppl might like it to be darker for privacy or better vision during bright day light )


but lets think again, why would u pay so much for good heat rejection ?

it doesnt really make much diff when u're driving with aircon

if u park your car under the sun, no tint in this world can keep your car cool. it will still get heat up anyway....

bottom line is :-
if u got tonnes of money, u may go for vkool
but never go for el-cheapo rm300 tint.

I just went to ask for Air Cool yesterday.
Salesman saying that Air Cool Highest Grade will cost me RM1.4K...(Is it expensive?)

Its from accessories shop....dunno how much i can trust.
I am thinking of tinting my side windows mirror with 3M, then both big glass (front and rear) tint with Air Cool / Someother brands.

Just go to Tint Shop and ask them which is better suited for u and yr budget. I got my new car tinted for RM300 (with coupon) n its sufficient for me. My kelisa n kancil did its tinting at aircool and price range from RM250 (with coupon) to RM500 (with coupon too lol).

So now all my cars have tint n IMHO, Tint Shop's choice is good. They are the ones who do v kool as the honda and perodua dealers send their cars in there for tinting before sending it to their customers. There's one Tint Shop branch in Taipan and if u opt for aircool its located in pandar puteri puchong.
