    Yep, thinking of getting Quantum again for our next car.

    Color not as shiny/reflective as the K series, may konteng pagka black..

    Huling gawa ko, parang 5.5K for an FD Civic back in 2009 or 2010, no windshield *ATA* * Santolan.

    Assuming the manufacturers' website info are all consistent (which they probably aren't), the Quantum series should have the highest TSER among Solargard tints probably kasi metallized (tama ba yung term?). Problem lang kelangan laging ilabas sa bintana yung epass/the nlex pass pag sa toll...

    Manufacturer specs/websites:
    Quantum 14 - 61% TSER
    Quantum 19 - 57% TSER
    K14 - 63% TSER
    K28 - 52% TSER
    VK 70 - 55% TSER
    VK 40 - 65% TSER

    Not sure if kasama yung visible light sa % energy rejected... but if it doesn't, then it probably explains why the K14 has better heat rejection than the VK70.

    I can dig up some shots of our cars mamaya na naka Quantum if you'd like, pero semi OT na hehehe.

    Sunday porma/highway car, clear tints all the way! VK40/70 =)

    Pero usually yung offered for free are the VKool OEM Series (lowest grade)

    sir kasama sa "total solar energy" yung visible light. to see the specs for heat rejection, kindly look at the IR (infra red) rejected
    HTH

    TSER is the universally accepted metric for actual effectiveness of tint.

    VK70 has 55% TSER and 94% IR rejection, while K14 has 63% TSER and 82% IR rejection. I've had both on my cars, and I can say that the K14 definitely has better heat rejection than the VK70.

    With the VK70, you can still feel the heat of direct sunlight on your skin, which you don't feel with the K14.
