Yikes, I was considering 3M Crystalline, but now you say cannot use Smart Tag, GPS and autogate remote

Looks like gotta choose something else... so Huper Optik is good choice then?

Anybody know the price of V Kool 70 and 55 for large sedan size (e.g. Camry)?

If you search around 2k can get already (for V-Kool 70).


No experience with this brand but the specs seem so-so only. And they do not disclose the TSER %, which is the key statistic to see how much heat it cuts.

Oh, different region got different price?

You can refer here for the list of Huper Optik dealers: http://site.smartwindow.com.my/main/3074/i...=48867&t=dealer

He might recommend himself since he also does Huper Optik

Anyway, see the link I gave you earlier - it also has all the Klang Valley dealers.

Ha-ha, I think "no comment" = yes

Someone mentioned that in Malaysia the boss behind V-Kool and Huper Optik is same person. True or not?


I think the case about blurry Huper film was in relation to the security film. Steven, since you install Huper security film have you experienced this before?

Maybe it was a case of the water not fully dried.

When you say clearest you mean highest VLT?

So for the good film (like V-Kool) the glue is transparent and not blur? Or do you mean straight after install will still be a bit blur, but after drying it will be clear?



So metal film always reject heat better than ceramic?

Aside from that I heard metal film might oxidise (perhaps not the good ones like V-Kool) and metal also blocks smart tag, gps, etc. Dunno if true or not. I think the Huper sales push this point a lot, saying that their ceramic film will not block these things like metal film.

You mean few years ago V-Kool Elite had 14 layers, now only 7 layers?

Hope Huper Optik don't have this issue.

The Ceramic series is super clear. How about Sech 60? Just as clear?

Unfortunately since I'm from outstation not so easy to go to your shop just to see.

But I read earlier got one person from my town who went to do tinting at your shop (since he was travelling to KLIA). He said he was satisfied with your service and workmanship.

Yes.

Spec is different. You can see below:

Strange, because I can see it on my PC.

Anyway you can check the website: http://site.smartwindow.com.my/main/3074/i...-ceramic-series

If you are a noob, then just do more research. Simple as that.

Heat does not only come from IRR, it also comes from the visible light spectrum. If you only look at IRR it is misleading because it only shows one part of the heat. However, TSER measures across the whole spectrum so it is more accurate.

I find that a lot of people do research just by asking question and expecting answer

Often the answer already out there. Just need to do a search to find it.

I saw a friend's car just tinted recently. Some areas got like many small bubbles. Tint shop fella says these will disappear once the film fully dries out. True or not?

On one window I saw quite a few bubbles. It was visible soon after the tinting job. Now my friend wonder if it will disappear or not?

I've heard people say that before.

But looking at the spec of the C50-4mil, it looks quite ok:



Unless you're saying in practice it is not as good as the specs indicate.

JPJ requirement is 70%, so any film under 70% VLT does not comply with JPJ rules.

"mil" relates to thickness

Yup correct. 1 mil = 0.0254mm = 0.001 inch
