Solarguard Tint

Sa 3M, ano ba yung tinatawag na "magic black"?

please correct me if I am wrong, but based on my research..

"Magic" is the common term people use to describe 3M Black Chrome (BC) series. Uses Metallic material so has that reflective, Glossy black look. It has higher VLR (Visible Light Reflectance) data versus 3M FX.

3M BC-35 -- Light Magic (VRE 13%)
3M BC-20 -- Dark Magic (VRE 20%)
3M BC-10 -- Super Dark Magic Neutral (VRE 22%)

"Super Black" is the common term people use to describe 3M FX series. Uses Dyed material so has that Matte black look. It has lower VRE (Visible Light Reflectance) data versus 3M BC.

3M FX-35 -- Light Black (VRE 5%)
3M FX-20 -- Medium Black (VRE 5%)
3M FX-5 -- Super Black (VRE 5%)

Instead na gamitin ung actual film name, dini-describe na lang nila as Super Black or Medium Black, etc. ang tint.

Ang mas bagong series ng 3M is the Crystalline (CR) at Color Stable (CS) series.

I-clear ko lang yung "VRE (Visible Light Emitted)" sa paragraph 4.

Thanks for the info about this 3M magic tint!

*Noel Salisipan: Thanks for pointing it out. 2 charts kasi tinitingnan ko kanina, Huper Optik at sa 3M. Sa 3M chart, VRE ang ginamit na term which is "Visible Reflection Exterior". Sa Huper Optik chart, ang ginamit na term is VLR which is "Visible Light Reflectance". Same lang ang tinutukoy nila. Re-write ko na lang ng ganito..

Sa Solar Gard, VLR din ang term na gamit nila.

Effect of Material Used on Looks

Metallic - example, SolarGard HP Quantum series, 3M Black Chrome (BC) "Magic Neutral". Glossy black look. Higher VLR.



Dyed - example, SolarGard Supreme series, 3M FX "Super Black". with Matte look. Lower VLR.



Hybrid - example, HP Charcoal series with Sputter-metallized technology. Semi-reflective. Medium VLR.

Magtanong lang po, pano po ba malalaman kung genuine ang isang solar gard na tint, meron po ba itong mark tulad nung sa 3m.

Meron kasi ako nakita sa sulit na nag install ng solar gard tint malapit sa may ortigas autocamp (TINT HUB AUTO ACCESSORIES) and pag dumadaan ako dun nakita ko sa may tarpulin na ang solar gard summer promo nila ay mga 3500 and installation pero di pa ako nag inquire. Compared dun sa dealer sa santolan which cost will cost me around 5000 for installation of the tint for our toyota corolla.

I would like to ask some feed backs if meron ng nakapag painstall dito ng solar gard and how is your experience with them including the tint na ininstall.
comparing sa dealer sa santolan mukhang mas mura ng konti dito. Also I would like to ask feed back with cartronics, parang nag install din sila ng solargard.

By the way the solar gard tint im interested are the following:
HP charcoal 43 - for the windshield
HP charcoal 38 - for front side windows
HP charcoal 22 - for rear side windows and rear window

meron kayang available tints yung sa ortigas and cartronics, medyo priority ko kasi yun visibility specially at night for safety.

Thanks

Much better to call Solar Gard regarding authenticity of tint from other installers.

Pinaka-best pa rin magpa-install sa branches nila para sure sa quality at sa 5 year warranty na ibibigay.

Solar Gard Branches

Alabang - 772-1513 look for Pilita or Jane Rose
Santolan - 725-5570 look for Rose or Ivy
Banawe - 516-2399 look for Julie or Irene.

Solar Gard (Main)

Mandaluyong - 534-5926 / 534-5927 / 531-3173 / 532-3167
solargardphils*yahoo.com.ph

Mabilis din silang mag-reply sa e-mail per experience.

By the way, nagpa-install na ako sa Solar Gard Santolan branch last Oct 29. HP Quantum 37 for windshield and front side windows ng Toyota Revo. Total cost = P3,400. with 5 year warranty.

Original target ko was HP Charcoal pero Charcoal 22 and 6 lang available nila that time which would be dark na for night driving.

I suggest inquire muna kayo kung ano available na VLT sa bawat branch. Or pa-order kayo in advance if may gusto kayong specific series or VLT.

Sinamahan ko yung cousin ko nagpatint kami ng corolla ang pinalagay namin is hp quantum 28 for the windshield and hp quantum 19 on sides and rear. Sa banawe branch kami nagpakabit, medyo inabot na nga kami ng gabi kaya na try agad namin yun visibility at night and napakalinaw parang walang tint sa harap and sa sides. Di ko pa nasubukan makisabay sa tanghali kong ano performance ng heat rejection.

I'm also planning na palagyan yung sa akin nang tint hp quantum 28 for the windshield and hp quantum 19 or 14 for the front window but I would like to go a little darker on the rear side window and rear window.

Ask ko lang based on the experience sa visibility at night and color match sa quantum series nang ibang nagpakabit na of the following:

1. gsg10
- vlt = 6
- tser = 70
- solar absorb = 64

2. quantum/silver/quantum10
- vlt = 9
- tser = 72
- solar absorb =70

3. Solar Bronze 20
- vlt = 22
- tser = 78
- solar absorb = 38

4. hp quantum 14
- vlt = 13
- tser = 61
- solar absorb = no data

By the way items 1, 2 & 3 are residential/commercial tints but I read that others are using gsg10 kaya isinama ko yung item 2 and 3 for comparison. Also the color of our car is beige kaya pwede siguro yun bronze color sa side and rear.

kung meron pong picture sa gabi ng visibility from inside the car mas maganda po and paki post na din yun tint combination sa car nyo.

thanks

nang ngpa-install ako sa Santolan branch, final decision was between HP Quantum 28 vs HP Quantum 37 for windshield and front side windows. mas pinili namin ang HP Quantum 37 for that extra bump in clarity for night driving.

HP Quantum 28 is a misnomer. It should actually be renamed to HP Quantum 32 because of its 32% VLT.

[yourman_2nd]

saan sa santolan and banawe yung branches nila? balak ko palitan yung sa windshield and front windows tint ko. yung sa windshield, free lang sa casa so dark sya kahit sa gabi kaya hirap mag drive, pero pag meron naman araw, grabe ang init, parang walang tint. yung sa front windows naman, mas dark kaya less heat, pero halos wala ng makita sa gabi kaya delikado naman.

meron naman sila sample sa shop para maka pili?

[Starex_Gold]

Sa tapat ng conceptone wheel gallery.

May sample sa kanila. Sa banawe branch meron pa sila small cuts na pwede idikit sa window mo para makita mo ng actual.

hi, planning to go with Solar gard. Any advice for my requirements:

1. Gusto ko sana hindi nagca-cause ng RF interference o non-reflective
2. maliwanag sa gabi
3. tapos sa araw ok naman ang heat rejection
4. gusto ko shade is medium dark lang or kung ano bagay sa gray na color ng car.

Btw, Gemstone Gray yung kulay ng Kotse. Salamat

Sir red_one, meron po ba tint room sa mandaluyong? Wala pa ako nareceive na response sa email.

sir mas maganda kung makita mo exactly kulay ng mga tints nila sa shop nila and ma-compare mo sa kulay ng car mo. they can also answer your queries better. i plan to go to their shop in santolan this saturday morning to replace my tint on the windshield and two front windows.

[calix0305]

I see thanks sched ko na lang punta ren ako santolan shop nila.

[red_one]

*autolover: Not sure if meron tint room sa Mandaluyong. Sa Santolan lang kasi kami nagpunta. Just call them na lang, nasa taas ang mga phone numbers.
