I'll share...
Kakapatint ko pa lang kahapon sa Solar Gard Alabang. Having read from the posts here, medyo pre-set na ako sa HP Charcoal 22 at 13 (WS, rest). Pero nung nagdikit sila ng samples sa bintana, together with HP Supreme and HP Titanium for me to see from inside and out and compare, mas nanaig sakin yung Titanium. Yung Charcoal kse may pgka-brwon yung black nya, at yung Supreme naman, greenish. Among the 3 choices, the TItanium series, for me, looked the best from the inside. Outside eh namamarehas lng. So I settled for HP Titanium 16 and 6 like the previous poster.
Observations:
1. Habang ginagawa, mabilis naman at systematic sila magtrabaho. 3 installers worked on my Sportage at the same time. Medyo kinabahan ako nung tinatanggal na yung stock tint sa likod, baka madale ang defogger. Mabuti at ok naman. I was able to test it kaninang umaga.
2. About craftsmanship, di ako 100% sold, esp sa WS. Halata pa kse yung pinaghaguran at yung hagod strokes ay all over in different directions. I'll wait after the curing time if makikita pa din yung strokes. Ayoko muna galawin or ibalik habang di pa cured eh. Di rin perfect yung circular cut for the rear window. The part where the window hinges are attached to the glass itself required a smale semicircular cut kse. Sabagay, mahirap mag-circle using a cutter. Pero lapat na lapat naman sa ung film sa likod.
3. Nasubukan ko na agad sa night driving sa SLEX ar STAR Tollway, okay naman yung visibility through the WS and front windows (for the side mirrors) so far. Sabi sa shop, mas lilinaw pa daw kapag natanggal ko na yung acid rain/watermarks, which is logical naman. Napabili na din tuloy ako ng glass restorer nila.
As for the heat rejection, I still have to check kapag tirik ang araw, maulan today eh. Sabi naman sa website, parehas above 50% ang TSER ng HP 16 at 6 e (55% at 57%, resp.) Incidentally, wala sa international website yung HP Titanium series, pero nasa PH website. Wala din yata sa tint center. I've also read somewhere na discontinued na yung production nito. So, di kaya luma yung stocks ng Philippine dealers?
Pag gumanda na ang panahon this weekend, check ko isa-isa for any imperfections or damage (like scratch sa glass). As fo now, wala pa namang damage ako nakikita. Haven't had time to check thouroughly eh.
4. Very accomodating si Jane Rose. Call her Jane nga pala, to differentiate for Rose na taga-SG Santolan. She gave me a good discount, then nahaggle ko pa ulit. Mas discount din sa glass restorer. Yung K&N filters nila, may tawad na din kahit di pa ako bumibili, hahah. Yung lang, walang masarap na mauupuan habang naghihintay. If tatambay ka naman sa ATC habang ginagawa, di mo masyadong machicheck yung pag-gawa nila.
In summary, I'd recommend SG tints para sa mga nagbabalak mgpa-tint or magpalit ng tints ng rides nila. Habang ginagawa nga yung sakin, may isang mamang lumapit at nagtanong kung ano daw ikinakabit sa Sportage, papakabitan daw nya Altis nya. Sabi ko kay Jane, " o yan hah, instant advertisement agad yung sakin, additional discount naman dyan." Pero pabulong na lang yung last kase baka sabihin mukha na akong discount. Wahahahah!
I'm also recommending the shop, Solar Gard Motortown Alabang if malapit lang kayo dito.
Lastly, mas gumaganda si Jane the more you look at her. Hahaha, sorry off-topic,
