I would appreciate if folks who have installed Huper Optik Sech60 on the front windscreen and C40 for the rest of the sides and rear windscreens could share your ecperience if you have switched to another tint on the same or different vehicle.
Are there other tints which outperform the heat rejection performance of the Sech60/C40. Although the VLT of the Sech60 is 59% which is below the permissible 70% set by the government, in my experience the heat rejection property is inferior to the V-Kool Elite with VLT 71% if my memory doesn't fail me.
I am guessing there is no measuring device to measure and compare the TSER or SHGC which are claimed to be the top 2 properties which affect heat rejection of tints despite all the nice numbers published on the spec or paper of manufacturers? If that is the case I presume we would have to rely on real life experiences or impressions of owners without any measuring tools involved.
I have only noticed JPJ officers measuring the VLT of vehicles with a hand-held device in the news on TV lately after our Transport Minister announced the new ruling of tinting on vehicles. However, I am not aware if there is a similar hand-held device to measure the TSER or SHGC values of a tint.
If focusing on the front windscreen, is there a tint with VLT70% or higher which outperform the Huper Optik Sech60? In my experience, the Sech60 is fairly good when new (spectacularly outstanding) in terms of rejecting heat from the sun although the VLT of 59% is on the low side. However, I find the performance to deteriorate quicker than V-Kool. Deterioration starts around 2 to 3 years and after 5 years it feels like there is no tint on the car. With V-Kool Elite the tint still performs admirably with little drop in performance after 5 years on my older car.
Seeking experiences from owners who have used Huper Optik Sech60 and C40 so that I have a benchmark on what to expect. Thoughts would be appreciated.

my gt86 is on C40 FWS and C30 on everything else.
i never tried vkool nor am i interested as i am satisfied with my tint performances.
gt86 has been tinted since December 2017 or January 2018.
Iswara Sech60 FWS between 6-7 years already
Sech does contain metallic contents similar to vkool, so it can have better TSER while maintaining higher VLT
C is mainly Ceramic based.
I've used pyrometer to check out my glasses/tint temps during hot sun/afternoon, and it does get between 40-50c LOL
but the cabin certainly doesn't felt as hot and aircond cools the cabin down fairly quickly.
i can't say much about degradation as my C40/C30 are still fairly new, however the Sech on my Iswara seems to still perform and i didn't really notice much degradation. then again its been so long already i also kinda forgotten how Sech60 was like when new.
One thing though, Huper tints tend to lighten up (at least visibly) over time and my Iswara does look as if it didn't have tint on the FWS, and similarly on the 86 where the first few months it looks as if the car is totally blackened out while these days its fairly visible from the outside and maybe why i've (touch wood) yet to face troubles with road blocks. (and yes i've been through numerous already lol)
