hi guys...

just wondering on the quality of RAYTECH tints... are they actually any good? been searching the forum but can't seem to get any updated opinions on raytech...

there's one with 90% IRR... the brochure states RM1500, but my SA is giving it to me at RM1200... and a RM150 voucher... which brings it down to RM1050. I'm willing to spend money on good tinting... but is raytech really any worth it? does it really work?

(budget: rm1.2k-rm1.4k)

after lots of thinking... i'm not planning to get v-kool. doesn't sound worth it. might as well get other brands with better specs for the same price biggrin.gif

how's raytech vs ecotint vs v-kool vs aircool?

are 3M tints very expensive?
*
raytech..it sounds like a another version of raybarrier from ecotint. since you are already paying 1k, my advise is go for reputable brand instead, you can try ecotint or rikecool or even huper optiks

don't think it will break. but usually... if there are fireman... they would have an axe that can break it, right?

lonewolf: yeah... that's true. might as well get better brands, right?

thanks.

i looked at 3M today... wonder if it's very good?

there is no best tint in the market, every brand has their pro and cons. All depends how deep your pocket is. Yeah, you must heard the vcool is good and so on. IMHO, they are good and overpriced and do have their own cons as well.

it maybe very good to you but not others. Different ppl different preference, but for RM400 to meet your expectation is thumbup.gif .

hi everyone,

im newbie here. actually im also looking for tinting for my new sedan car. Before this i've did some research on few brands & their pricing. so i wish to share with you.

1) v-kool elite - rm1700 (5 yrs warranty)
VLT - 73.2%, UVR - 99%, IRR - 94%

one of the best tint & long enough in market but heard people complaint it will get rusty after few yrs. some said got problem with smart-tag but again some said no problem.  unsure.gif

2) ecotint ray barrier - rm1530 (10 yrs warranty)
VLT - 63%, UVR - 99%, IRR - 95%

just one question on ecotint ray barrier, the visible light transmittance (VLT) is 63% whereby JPJ requirement is 70% on the front screen. so how they claim they comply with JPJ requirement? if anyone know, pls help to clarify.  unsure.gif

3) rike-cool (RC 80/RC 63) - rm1400 (6 yrs warranty)
RC80 - VLT - 80.7%, UVR - 99.6%, IRR - 83.2% for front screen
RC63 - VLT - 65.3%, UVR - 99.6%, IRR - 92.3% for side/ back

this brand i seriously consider bcoz its claim smart-tag friendly and moreover the warranty can be transferable to other name. but its not so popular if compare with v-kool or ecotint.  unsure.gif

VLT - visible light transmittance, UVR - ultra violet rejection, IRR - infra red rejection

for all the price i got is actually after discount.

any advise which one more value for money?

good day. thx.  smile.gif
*
the ecotint raybarrier they have 2 version, one passes jpj complaint VLT but u will get lower IRR(singapore uses this).

Most tinted brand has a different film for front windscreen as it requires 70% VLT while the other is just 50% VLT.
