RIKE COOL tint (ala v-kool)

hmmm, something like that pero not exactly. kasi hindi naman hazy yung buong view ng windshield. it's actually clear, except for the reflection from light sources (like headlights, tail/brake lights, stop lights, etc.)

**chieffy** · April 21st, 2006 09:39 PM

baka dahil sa water-shampoo solution na ginagamit sa pagkakabit ng tint...baka dahil bago pa lang at mawawala din kapag nagtagal???

Has anybody installed Ryke Cool for over a month and still experiences that rainbow/double-glare effect? Also, how can you tell an original Rike Cool from a fake? Ang V-Kool yata may nakasulat na V-Kool sa tint mismo. 3M is also the same.

Hi Guys, rainbow effect on tint is normally a sign of unhealed tint. Rainbow effect normally takes time to heal out depending on the kind of film installed. The thicker the film such as IR ( infra red ) take longer ( months ) before they start to cure. Brands such as Solargard, 3M, Sungard heal easier than Rike Cool or Vkool. Evaporation is the solution for this and hence, takes it's time. The rainbowish pattern is caused by the shampoo and water combination between the tint and glass. Once evaporated, the soapy solution disappears giving a clean and clear glass effect.

based from experience, yes.
i chose to park under direct sunlight for about three weeks.. (7am until dark, except pag gagarahe na sa bahay).

small and medium sized bubbles disappeared.

well i think, for this one, "patience" is really needed.
anyway, it has 5 years warranty (let's jost hope that the shop - LA cars - and Rike will still exist whenever we are about to claim...
