Tsikot Window Tints

[Tifosi]

Bad trip yung tint ko! Nagpalagay ako ng Mirareed na Magic Medium. My problem now is may mga spots sa rear windows ko. Sabi ng kabarkada ko sakit daw ng mga magic yun. Is that true? I'm thinking of investing now in 3Ms, pero ang mahal eh Okay ba ang Llumar?

[kiper]

tifosi, gastusan mo na ung mahal..matibay naman at maganda quality..kesa sa mumurahin..hindi naman tatagal. sayang pa sa pera.

ano sasabihin kong gawin ng tint installer para hinde masira yun defogger ko sa likod??? kasi diba ang ginagawa nila pag tangal ng lumang tint, tapos kikisksin nila yun mga adhesive para matanggal eh di paano malilinis kung hinde nila gagwin yun, or meron ibang way na linisin yun adhesive para hinde masira yun defogger? thanks

sabihin mo ingatan sa pagbakbak... para makasigurado, sabihin mo wag gamitin yung pangkiskis at subukan nila tirahin ng glass cleaner (3M or wd40 kaya?)

ssaloon,
anong shop ka sa auto centro? baka naman fake rin pala ang kinabit sa akin... pero in case fake nga, pareho tayo kasi I'm very satisfied with it. :D

[ssaloon]

[mikey177]

Aside from Winterpine, are there any other reputable 3M tint installers in the QC area? Nagdadalawang-isip kasi ako sa Winterpine dahil sa bad experience ni Sauman e.

Auto Centro is located across Ali Mall Cubao. Beside the bus terminals there. Maraming shops rin sa Auto Centro. I prefer it there kasi it's like banawe, without the onlookers/looters. I feel safer there.

[ssaloon]

pero mas mahal jan compared sa banawe IMO

hi!

can you recommend kung anong shade ng tint for a red car and a black car? [my two choices, when i buy my car]

following the rule that a dark colored car must have a lighter tint, ano ba ang ok for a black car? sa 3M na lang muna siguro, to be safe.

does red fall under dark or light colored? my dad has a civic esi na red, and i always liked na medyo dark ang tint niya (although not super black)

[mojako]

Are there other clear type of tints aside from mirareed and v-cool?

[paolorenzo]

question about those mirror-like one-way tints... kita ba ang loob ng car kung walang araw, or kung gabi?

[groucho]

April Ryan,

Check out the 3M Magic Dark.

Just saw this article in the inquirer today about checkpoints which will keep an eye on heavily-tinted vehicles. :swear:

Kaka-inis! Nag-hahanap lang talaga sila ng ma-ko-kotongan. Nakakatakot kasi baka mapag-tripan ka lang nila, and mag-plant sila ng kung ako sa sasakyan mo...

Pag hindi ka naman magpa-tint, siguradong holdup, at kung ano pang ka-demonyohan ang maaaring mangyari sa iyo...

I had my car tinted at Pony a couple of years ago.
Okay naman yung nagkabit parang sanay na sanay na pero sira rear defogger ko! 1 or 2 wires
na lang ata ang gumagana. Any idea where I can have it repaired? thanks.

[OTEP]

glenn,

The guys who repair windshield cracks along Kalayaan (in Kamias, QC) also do defoggers. :D

[paolorenzo]

Installed V-Kool for my front windshield at Pony. Kaka-inis kasi one of the 2 installers seems to be inexperienced with V-Kool. Puro scratches ang gawa. I'd live with it if it was ordinary tint. Pero since it cost me P6.3k, I'm having it replaced tomorrow.

Yan ang ok sa Pony. They will replace it if you're not satisfied, no questions asked.

Pero ok talaga sa Sun-X. They have the cheapest 3M, and very good installers. And the owners are very nice and accomodating.
