What's the best car tint brand and color?

**the_wildthing** · July 17th, 2004 08:11 PM

Of the 15 threads that have "tint" in the subject, this has the second latest post. So ito na lang po ang i-up ko:

Dahil ako'y nasa Makati, I was trying to find a recommended shop for 3M tints here, lalo na sa Malugay.

Can't find one so I just went ahead and saw Autostar as authorized 3M Distributor or something.

They have, pero ayaw nung installer na one-piece. Makapal daw ang 3M masyado at ipinipilit niya yung Titanium na pareho lang naman daw.

For one thing, pag sinabi ng customer na 3M ang gusto, wag nang ipilit yung ibang brand di ba? In short, umalis na lang ako. Anyway, ok po ba ang Titanium?

At san po ba sa Makati ok magpakabit ng 3M? Or is it worth the trip to go to Winterpine?

I have a question about tints. I plan to have 3M installed. When CASAs say they have 3M, do you think these are original?

depende eh. kasi yung CASA installed tint ng lynx ng tito ko, peke na 3M yung kinabit eh...

For me the best is tint is 3M...Yung neutral lang na magic tint.Mahirap kapag super black na tint...Kase my car before had all windows na super black na 3M na tint.Ang hirap kapag gabi hindi ko makita yung mga humps especially sa BF Homes.Buti na lang noon yung mga street lights hindi pa tungsten ang mga street lights kundi white pa.Kaya pinatanggal ko na lang ang super black tint ko.Sayang nga lang ang 3,500 ko nun..

Sa classmate ko naman kase nilagyan nila ng dark tint ang Honda City nila then sa winshield naman neutral lang..Pero dun sa dark tint nagtataka ako ang linaw pa rin lalo na kapag may lights yung street.Pinalitan na rin nila yung bulb ng headlights nila..Hindi ko malaman kung ano tint ang nilagay nila kase ang linaw pa rin.Nakikita ko pa rin yung road sa gilid at lalo nasa winshield dahil magic tint lang ang nilagay nila..:D

yung sa gsr din nya one piece eh. medyo mahal nga lang ang price sa winterpine pero sigurado ka na totoo yung 3m nila and madali kausap pag bumula. Matino magkabit

Im planning in having tints installed. Im just confused on:

a) 3M Super Dark or Super Black - Standard
b) 3M Super Dark or Super Black - Magic

What's the difference?

1. Which has better heat rejection? Any percentages?

2. If your outside the car, which is darker - harder to see the inside of the car?

3. If your inside the car, which gives you better visibility of the road?

4. Is the Magic Super Dark Tint sort of metallic (silvery) in color?

Is it safe to use those auto glass cleaners to clean the insides of your windows, even if you have tints? Some say matapang daw masyado yun, and the tints may peel off. ???

What's the best type of cloth to use when cleaning your tinted windows, so that your tints won't have fine scratches?

dapat original, pero hindi talaga casa ang nagkakabit, kundi, sa casa lang talaga ikakabit.., yung accessories department nagkakabit which is usually meron store sa banawe..

better ask them for the warranty, yung 3M tint na pinakabit ko sa toyota makati eh 5 years daw warranty... parang nakakaduda hehe
