Just had my car tinted last Saturday thanks to Ong.

Was greeted by one of the salesgirls who did a brief explanation of the process (since I already know what I wanted - took the indulgence package + Ray Barrier windscreen upgrade).

For newbies, you can actually test out the different types of tints they have there via a little "light bulb test".

Try it... you'll feel the difference, especially with Ray Barrier.

The tinting took about 2-3 hours.

A group of five or six technicians went to work measuring the films and cleaning the windows/windscreens.

From the waiting room, you get to watch the work being done. If nature calls, there's a nice bathroom beside the waiting room.

If watching them work is not your thing, there are lotsa magazines to read.

Thirsty? Go get a glass of water at the water dispenser.

Bored of waiting after a while? Do what I did. I headed to the nearby mamak shop and had a cuppa tea with my friend.

By the time we got back, they were already done.

Don't get shocked when you see the watermarks. They're normal as they'll dry up after some "baking" under the sun.

The salesgirl told me not to wind down the window or use the heating elements at the back until the film had completely dried up in three days. They paste these little stickers on your window winder to remind you not to use them for at least 60 hours.

She then asked me to just call her if there's any problems.

Once I got home, Ong SMS-ed me to remind me what the salesgirl had told me. Only instead of three days, Ong said to "bake" for a week. I guess no harm baking it a little longer.

"Baking" my car has been a little tricky these days though due to the showers we're experiencing here in KL.

But all in all, I'd say I'm quite satisfied with the tint. There is a difference with the tint on. It's not as freaking hot as it was before without the tint if I leave my car under the sun.

However, since I took the Indulgence package, I'd think that the heat deflecting effect would be greater if I had gotten the full Ray Barrier package.

Those of you are up to it, go for Ray Barrier.

And of course Ong's quotes are very good.

Cheers!
