Point Description
1 **Raytech, V-Kool, and 3M** are known for excellent heat rejection — *only if the products are genuine*. Be cautious of imitation products in the market.<br>• Raytech Official Website<br>• V-Kool Official Website<br>• 3M Local Distributor
2 **Front windscreen films** are crucial. House brands can't match high-performance films like **Raytech Ultra70**, **V-Kool Elite**, or **3M Crystalline 70**.
3 **Avoid house brands**. Visit certified **window film specialist outlets** for trusted advice and proper installation.
4 **Always request a warranty card**. It protects your consumer rights and offers peace of mind after your car tinting investment.

Because cheap tint comes with cheap glue. So it will damage the rear windscreen heater element when you remove the old tint.

But of cos, if you are ok without the heater element, by all means please do so.

Without a heater element, your car’s rear window may fog up in cold or rainy weather, reducing visibility and safety. It won’t clear mist or condensation easily, especially in the morning.


You’ll need to rely on manual cleaning, anti-fog sprays, or wait longer for it to clear. Rear visibility during driving or reversing is affected.


But every car even use 3M brand tinted ,at most can last 8 years only right


So must remove old one and install new one

They're just aluminium plastic sheets of different brands. Yes, only the quantity of fine aluminium powder differs. A 3*layers RM600 film, with 3x of aluminium particles stacked, will win anytime a shitM.

good quality house brand is good enough, and dont go for those creap and crappy rm200 to 300 whole car tints, those are basically just "screen protectors" with no UV or heat rejection

i installed my house brand tint for rm1.2k 5 years ago and now no single bubble have formed, tint is still fine and heat rejection is strong

those rm3k 4k 5k tints are just overpriced tints and heat rejection might even lose to those house brands lol

I drive a volvo, had my tinting done at the same time as coating with Ceramic Pro, it's been 3 years, passengers comment that each time they enter my car in the hot sun it's like going indoors, I don't notice it as much but yeah.

Recently many house own brand tints, just go for RM600-700 nano ceramic tint, good enough
Market is flooding with China made,
Just don't go for dye or metallic, any of those carbon type Rm 200-400. Heat reduction efficiency drop more significantly for these cheaper tint

Mostly 5yrs warranty, after 5-6 yrs change new set

I paid RM600 for tinting the whole car, but it's too dark. The front is more than 50%, and the sides are also more than 50%.


Is it because it's a cheaper tint, so it doesn't follow the darkness regulations then only they can offer good heat protection?


Compared to brands like 3M that use better materials, they comply with the rules and still offer good heat protection?

Our old Proton tinted bubbles and degraded after all these years under Malaysia weather. When asked around brand shops their sales agents seem want to conclude sales without installation explanation, to me installation and workmanship is important else can DIY. If someone share the installation process I will buy from them.

Just a simple info for you to ponder. V in Msia is distributing different range of products than V in Spore. V Spore is own by the real V company in USA.

At times Spore is cheaper even after conversion.

I had few cars on V from both Spore and Msia to know the difference.

I won't go for V anymore in Msia.

Did my cheap tint at cannycool

Ranger 2 years ago. Workmanship I rate it 85% because some irregular edges but doesn't matter because they wipe clean after work. 2 years maintain/no fade/no bubbles.

Bezza this month. Did at new premise compared to ranger above at older premise. Workmanship is good but noticed a tint peel that don't give any problem. However it's full of leftovers marks (that can be wiped off).

These are just individual workers problem that can be improved. Cheap tint, you get what you paid

I paid RM600 for tinting the whole car, but it's too dark. The front is more than 50%, and the sides are also more than 50%.
Is it because it's a cheaper tint, so it doesn't follow the darkness regulations then only they can offer good heat protection?
Compared to brands like 3M that use better materials, they comply with the rules and still offer good heat protection?
*
good tint or bad tint is see the heat rejection, and see 2 specs only, UV rejection and solar rejection, good tints have UV rejection 99% and solar rejection >95%, and most tint shops have the solar tester that they can test on their tints to prove to you that the readings are real, and most good house brands have both at >90%, thats why they are good enough, and some branded ones have shitty solar rejection also, u need to see the specs of the tint to see how effective they are

those lousy tints have like 70% UV rejection and 0 solar rejection

My 3M 7 years still cool, 99% IRR paid 3.3K inc coating. If pay cheap or kena katuk by sales staff, can’t help. Still can’t beat Vkool that comes with my old merc.

my previous car using V-cool but compare to the smart shield I'm using now. Surprisingly smart shield is better like 20-30% better.
Vkool still can use smart tag, just have to drive slower but this smart shield can't use at all. Have to install the stupid RFID.
Another car using Ecotint but can't even beat Vkool, the worst is 3M crystalline.

A lot tint here can claim this and that but consumers right here is shit.
There is not 1 gov dept really jaga this claims.
Most, if not all are not what they claim to be.
Maybe their top top spec are true, the rest are in grey area.

Going by top spec theory is wrong too.

Of cos is wrong if you have insider info.
For normal consumer, you just pray it use better OEM tint if not original tint.
They won't show you the tinted roll packaging and proof anyway

Yah, Vkool can use smart tag but some places like pucheong towards kinrara kenot cos reader low power. 3M got fakes too, many shops offering below 1K even Honda SA also kenot trust. Do own homework if want real 3M. VKool onli 1 real installer, shop at section 19, PJ opp P2. Smart shield haven’t tried, maybe next time.

the 3M was Honda Malaysia collaborated with 3M that's why I think it should be real one. Maybe the fake 3M perform better than the real one.

Check the customer comments of the dealers. Some may be fake comments but usually fake comments generated by AI feel fake. Also location, conmen usually rent cheap places so can cut and run (my experience). Places that invest a lot will need to stay longer and get their principle to visit and certify.

I got Raytech 70%, last time max is 70% for Raytech. not sure now
My wife got 3m, she go for I forgot is 80 or 90. Now she don't dare drive on night time because it darken the sight.

As for heat rejection, i find it about the same compare with these 2 if on the go or just park below 1 hour. if park more than an hour, heat still can trap inside but 3m one i find it easily cool down compare with Raytech. Didn't use the machine to check la, just by feel.

So far both didn't have any bubble, but the 3m one they put every 3m brand sticker on each windows. which I removed it afterward, lmao. Only the back one cant be remove because it macam already imprint on the tint.

Btw, 3m one can bypass toll also. But you need to move slowly or even stop for a while if you're using smarttag. Raytech no issue, can detect easily

good quality house brand is good enough, and dont go for those creap and crappy rm200 to 300 whole car tints, those are basically just "screen protectors" with no UV or heat rejection

i installed my house brand tint for rm1.2k 5 years ago and now no single bubble have formed, tint is still fine and heat rejection is strong

those rm3k 4k 5k tints are just overpriced tints and heat rejection might even lose to those house brands lol

i installed v-kool elite on both car from 2011.

Until now no bubbling on either one of car.

Only damage is on one of my car, due to installing the suction type phone holder, the tint peeled off when i tried to remove the holder.

The heat resist thing so far i think okay la. Color still the same, i think? Didn't look into it much. My only issue is scratches on the tint itself after so many years it's like cataract now, feels like the tint plastic is breaking down. Macam your spectacles punya coating problem after 3 years.

From my observation no need spend thousands on tinting. My BIL pakai RM500 tint okay only, never see him got bubble issue. According to calculation per panel only rm100, if got bubble just change it. Heat resist actually better than my decade old vcool cos the one he install gelap2.

UV should be 99%. UV is bad for plastics, leather s/wheel, etc..and you can't really see UV

VLT is the one that allows visible light (amount of what you see)

What the VLT u put for front, side and rear?

The front has 50% light blocking (遮光度), while the sides and rear have 80% light blocking (遮光度).

means

The light transmittance (透光度) is 50% at the front, and 20% on both the sides and the rear.

not UV la, is VLT. visible light transmission

UV normally 90%+, lower than 90% you better don't take.

Ya, that's why my wife didn't dare to drive at night. as she sometimes can't see as it is too dark. But I found a solution, wear those orange color sunglasses. Normal Sunglasses haven't try yet, but you can try try.
