Solarguard Tint

[igiwtf]

HP Charcoal 13.

nag patint ako sa solargard kahapon. the tint is good. pero may nakiha akong hairline scratch sa rear passenger side 3.5 inches so ibabalik ko pa next saturday.

ISSUE

- ang binibigay nila as receipt is DR. mag demand kayo ng Official receipt at sales invoice. may additional 7% pag credit card. pag hihingi daw ng OR ay mag aadd ng 12 % vat ( ang alam ko lahat ng products and services dapat ay 12 inclusive )


OVERALL EXPERIENCE

- SATISIFED ( aircon tint, 5 installer at a time, checklist kung sino nag tint whichever side for warranty purposes)

May nakausap ako sa solarguard, ung supreme tint sa innova (full windshield + rear and sides) ang damage ay Php4,500. ito ba standard price nila?

[shotgun]

bakit mas mahal sa solargard santolan compared sa banawe shops? 5.8k compared to 4k. :dunno:

distributor kasi sila. pero mas madaming choices of tint sa kanila at may tint room.

Pag nag i-install ba sila sa Santolan, tinatanggal nila lahat yung tint markings? My brother had his HP quantum installed sa Santolan and walang solargard na markings sa tint. Yung sa akin naiwan pa rin yung "solar gard" tsaka "100% sputtered quantum" na markings sa side and rear windows while tinanggal nila yung sa windshield.

I was choosing between supreme and graphite for the blacked out look. Yun supreme may pagka redish brown from inside which i think medyo warm sa mata. Yun graphite medyo green siya and mas malamig sa mata which i like better pero sacrifice yun heat rejection which is same or ever lower from 3m st tint. Then nakita ko yun titanium series which has better heat rejection and medyo bluish from the inside. Installed titanium 16 for ws and titanium 6 all other windows. Ok naman visibility at night maliwanag padin yun side mirror.

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,

Is SG Titanium different from just Titanium, which slots under Platinum? Coz Titanium Super Black is also bluish in hue from the inside.

I had GSG 5 (sides) + GSG 20 sa WS installed last year (2012) pero until now, may problem pa rin sa windshield ko with the GSG20. Nagkaka-haloes ang mga outside lights. Hindi mo mapapansin masyado sa daytime except sa traffic lights na magiging dalawa ang green light or the red light. Nagdo-double ang outside lights talaga especially sa gabi. Oncoming headlights nagdodoble so masakit sa night driving. Even streetlights nagdodoble. There are no problems naman sa GSG5.
I'm planning to bring it back to Santolan branch, but has someone experienced this too ( kahit sa ibang lineup ng SG tint)?

total damage was 5K for the tint, 200 for the glass cleaner.

I haven't taken any pics yet, sorry.

Sir, I think SG Titanium is different from the Titanium (and Platinum) tints. For the SG Titanium on my ride, I don't notice a bluish shade from the inside.

Since the SG website doesnt show it anymore, here's a link from another site that still shows the SG HP Titanium series:

TOTAL expenses sakin 6K... compare sa 3M much clear at better sun UV protection ba tawag dun?

[Battlestar]

Question lang, tinatanggal pa ba nila yung mouldings/sidings sa windows pag first time mag papa-tint? If no, maganda naman ba ang cutting nila at pulido?
