    Currently I have a 3M Magic medium in the front winshield and 3M Magic Dark for the rest of the windows. The thing is it is still visible and people can still still see me with the current setup. By the way my car interior is beige and the tint installer told me that thats the reason why the car is still visible from the outside. The light colored interior would reflect light daw is this true?
    Now how do I make my tint one way without being too dark hence compromising driving vsibility and safety?

    I am thinking of adding another layer of tint (3M Magic Light) for all the windows except the front windshield? Is this a good idea? What do you recommend?

    noon sa delica ko, medium black sa harap, medium black sa likod, sa rear glass clear na.. kita parin..so ganito, kung papatangal mo sayang, ang ginawa ko, pinapatungan ko ng 1-way silver for the rear glasses, including sunroof ko,e...solb, may curtina pa :naughty2:

    ok siya di madaling makita pag nasa labas unless tutukan mismo ng flashlight..under regulation ka parin pero, pag dating ng gabi, yung rear windows mo, di ka makakita ng maayos lalo na kung madilim, at reflection lang ng interior makikita mo kapag buhay ang interior lights...

    PS > wag mo gawing 2-layer ang front windows at rear back-glass mo, magsisisi ka... mga rear windows lang

    Yes, the light colored interiors have a hand in making your car more visible. Try adding black/non-magic type of tint (i.e. medium or dark smoke) to enhance the magic properties seen from the outside, and to reduce the glare somewhat inside.

    when i say black, i mean its shade is black, and not necessarily blacked out (super dark). if you put on the lightest shade of black, which is medium black, on an untinted glass, it will just be as dark as magic neutral. nga lang, since di siya reflective, mas kita ka sa loob. in my experience, less glare ang black kesa sa magic sa loob. i tried putting magic neutral on dark magic, and boy was there a glare inside.

    now, as recommended by alwayz_yummy, don't add another layer of tint on the front and rear windshields para di ka mahirapan sa gabi. kung sa side, it won't be much of a problem. it'll just be as dark as magic neutral, except in a slightly different shade.

    I dont get it since medyo bago talaga ako at ngayon lang nagkakahilig sa cars. so kung ayaw ko makita ako from the outside yet maganda pa rin visibility what type/brand of tint should i apply?

    Try this.

    Apply White Magic Tint Heavy for the first layer.

    After a few weeks apply a layer of Black Magic Tint Light or Heavy.

    This will make it hard for people to see inside and would help keep the inside of the vehicle slightly cool since the white tint will reflect most of the heat unlike the black which absorbs.

    As advised, you can keep the front and back free of black tint or use light.

    Personally, my vehicle has this setup but the front only has a light black strip on the top quarter of the windshield.

    Hope this helps.

    :regards:

    same dilemma here. Got my tint for 2 weeks now. 3m medium black. Very visible pa rin inside. Ano tint ang pwede ko ipatong para maging almost one way? And what do you recommend for front windshield tint, at magkano kaya ang budget for that?

    Salamat Tsikotsips!

    If I leave my front and rear glass from another layer of 3M Medium Black and just cover the 4 side windows with an additional layer...would this guarantee that the vehicle's tint is one way already even if viewed from the front ? Also will this make my car look funny..aesthetic wise since the front and rear have Magic Tint while the four side windows are covered in Medium Black? Parang sagwa tingnan ..has anyone tried this na? What happens if you mix a 3M Black with 3M Magic?

    Magic neutral....may tint ba ito o parang wala lang na may reflection lang?

    Right now all my glass is in super dark and medium sa harap. Kaso kita pa din ako from the outside kasi medium. If i put a magic neutral magkakaroon ng reflection konti right? Hirap kaya gamitin pag gabi or parang wala lang?

    try mo palagyan ng 3m superblack(st-05) sa rear at side mo,then 3m medium black(st-20) naman sa windshield mo. im sure hindi ka na makikita pa sa loob ng oto mo.. dahil ganyan ang nkakabit sa oto ko ngayon.

Help with my current tint...how do i make it one-way?
