I'd tinted mine with Aircool Rm1000 package with anti-break 5mil, now after 8month the tinted seems fade already and bcome very bright.
What is your solution about this happen? tint another layer? or remove it to retint, but retint seems very wasted as i had spend Rm1k for 5yr warranty tint.

why not just do a warranty claim?

Hi Guru,

can someone please explain what is about below ?

VLT=55% UVR=99% IRR=82%
*
VLT = Visible Light Transmission. The amount of light that can penetrate through the tint. The lower, the darker the tint.
UVR = Ultra Violet Rejection. Higher is better.
IRR = Infra Red Rejection. Higher is better, but may kacau SmartTag & GPS.

and most importantly, TSER = Total Solar Energy Rejected. Not many tint companies are willing to advertise this value, because normal grade tints are below 50%.. premium tints like vkool & 3m have > 50%. higher is better. i think vkool 40 and crystaline 40 excel in this, but too dark and JPJ may kacau.

When it comes to heat rejection, which is the best gauge? TSER? UV? IRR? What are specs I should be looking for with a budget of around RM 1000, for a Myvi?

TSER.. this is why popular brands like vkool, 3m and huper optic are popular.. although price may be high, they do work as intended. Of course, they do have cheaper tints that are so-so quality (like 3m FX series).

Most cheap tints will not publish the TSER figures. Try to get tint with at least 50% TSER..
