Advisable not to get it done on the front windshield and the front side windows - everywhere else should be fine. Best brand applied to the window and even a not-so well known brand can be the second layer.

Agree on the front windshield. Front side windows, depends on your vision na lang.

Hahaha..... Pero these days di ko na kaya mag double tint, medyo nagkakaedad na rin. Kung may Vkool OEM or K series lang noon di siguro ako nag double tint.

Grabe init kanina. Thinking about double tinting na din ng rear passenger, c pillar at rear windshield. Currently BC10 nakalagay sakin. Ano po ok na pang patong? Ok din kaya another BC10 ?

BC10 = 10% VLT (Visible Light Transmitted). adding another BC10 would result in 1% VLT so super dilim ng rear windshield mo. 1% light na lang makakapasok. add BC35 at least.

^IMO not another layer of BC. Go for black. My theory is that the BC10 is already doing most of the heat rejection. Adding a black backing would just augment that rejection, plus kill off some of the reflection of magic tint. Try sampling both 35 and 20 on your windows and see which suits you.

Personally, mas sulit ang 20. Just got myself that on the Prado's windows this Monday. Ironically, it's not been as sunny or hot. Hahaha!

dito ko na isingit yung tanong ko sana may sumagot. mga boss ano po masuggest nyo na tint na pwede ipatong sa 3M BC35 magic ko sa Front WS? kitang kita kasi ako sa harap. papalitan ko na sana ng mas dark pero pwede pala patungan. 8 months palang tint ko. ano din massuggest nyo patungan o palitan? basta yung hindi sana ako kita sa harap. o kahit shadow lang maaninag. pero hindi din naman yung wala na ako makita sa gabi. salamat

Kahit in sunlight ba sir kita kayo sa bc35? yung sa akin sa gabi or sa shade lang ako nakikita kasi nawawala na yung metallic reflection nung film, pag may araw kahit silhouette nung mga nasa loob halos wala. Kung pareho tayo experience, IMO non metallized or yung mga hybrid (metal+dye) film na need niyo para di kayo makita pag wala sunlight.

hindi ko alam kung under direct sunlight kita. baka aninag o hindi. pero parang manipis talaga ang bc35. pagnakapark tas nasa loob halos wala ng tint. hindi kasi ako magaling sa tint. ano masuggest ko ipatong dito sr? yung CS20 na ba? o kung magpapalagay naman ako ipatanggal ko na lang to? ano sa tingin nyo po?tnx

BC35 + CS35 = 0.36 x 0.39 = 14.04% VLT
BC35 + CS20 = 0.36 x 0.19 = 6.84% VLT

parehong madilim at dangerous na yan for night driving. patanggal mo na lang at pakabit ka ng single layer BC20 or CS20.

BC20 = 17% VLT
CS20 = 19% VLT

if gusto mo talaga mag-double layer, dapat ang combined VLT ng 2 layers ay 17% or more

so 0.17 / 0.36 = 47% VLT minimum

ano ang mga pwedeng tints?

3M CR50, CR60, CR70
3M CS50
3M FX-ST 50
V-Kool VK70
Huper Optik Ceramic 60 and 70
Solar Gard HP Quantum 50
etc.

If I may add, it also depends on how dark you (and your eyesight) are willing to go. BC35 + CS35 is still drivable. In reality, it's probably going to be a tad lighter than just a layer of CS20. I wouldn't recommend that you add a layer of CS20, though, as that would be in super dark territory.

I had a friend before, on his galant Sigma he had 2 layers of BC35. Yes, BC35. The result from the outside was that you couldn't be seen. Not sure if there was any glare at night. Personally, I wouldn't do it, coz one thing that BC has that CS has perhaps less of is glare.

I haven't tried 2 layers on my windshield yet. I had Panther 5 on my 626's windshield a long time ago as the darkest that I've ever used for more than 6 months. IMO, i'd have the BC35 stripped off and BC20 installed.
