BITURBO Neutral Newbie March 31, 2013 Share March 31, 2013 I brought up this topic of tinting quality because could not find any good quality tinting nowadays... have tried 3 different brands already but still cannot find anything decent... The heat rejection is bad as if sitting inside a taxi where the heat from sun come straight through to your skin! My spouse also felt the same... Pls share if you know of any good brands out there... Tks! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc Hypersonic March 31, 2013 Share March 31, 2013 (edited) Its not the tinting got worse, the planet got hotter. Something to do with global warming. By the way which 3 did you try? Edited March 31, 2013 by Jamesc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabian Turbocharged March 31, 2013 Share March 31, 2013 I did mine with TintsyCool 7 yrs ago and went back to them again when I changed my ride last Dec. I took their highest spec package. Price is listed in the various car forums where they are listed. They can measure your current windscreen/ window spec and you can compare it on site with the film and without.

Chucky2007 Turbocharged March 31, 2013 Share March 31, 2013 I've decided that I will no longer buy black car... Black exterior plus black interior plus 35 degree weather is super super hot.. I have to blast my aircon at 4 or 5 of 8 setting at 20 degree during the hot days... Last time same brand solar film, grey dashboard, black exterior and 32-33 degree weather is so much easier..

Topspin 2nd Gear March 31, 2013 Share March 31, 2013 3m crystalline range is good. Much better than the regular 3m range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atonchia Supersonic March 31, 2013 Share March 31, 2013 Why would LTA allow greater reduction of visible light of the front passenger and driver seat windows? It's still awfully bright on a sunny day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakkwylde 5th Gear March 31, 2013 Share March 31, 2013 Thermal guard is not bad. Reduce the heat by quite a lot if not mistaken 90% IR rejection for the highest range. But if u want more IR rejection then have to go the illegal way. Cannot pass light test... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic March 31, 2013 Share March 31, 2013 Could it be you overdo it? One tinter told me that tinting is also used in cold countries to trap heat inside car. My current car has no tinting and I find it's good enough, in fact better than my last car with tinting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic April 6, 2013 Share April 6, 2013 (edited) The tint shop operate in temperate country and not in SG? In Singapore, from a popular tint shop. After that, never went for my tinting for my current ride 'cos the insulation is good, windscreen is doing a fantastic job in UV protection.
