Ano ang recommended shade for solar guard sa front, side at rear?

Musta naman ang solar guard magic tint sa night driving?

Sino naka solar guard magic tint dito sa mga member ng forum?

ano mga other shades ng solar guard magic tint?

any idea how much pag corolla 95 ang lalagyan?

I have SolarGuard for my Pajero. Unfortunately, I can't remember the shade because I just chose from the rolls which were in stock. I think it's part of the 'metal sputter' series. The color is dark gray and the cabin is not visible. Maybe it's magic dark. hehehe.

But for my windshield I have 3M because the guys installing Solar Guard cannot do the windshield in 1 piece.

Otep,
If it's Solarguard, Quantum 14 or 19 perhaps? Quantum 14 is the counterpart of 3M's dark magic. And, yup, generally, it's kinda hard to install Solarguard tints in front and in one piece. Makapal yata kasi yung tint kaya ganun. Pero come to think of it, nagawa ng installer ko yun sa Exped ko dati. Oh well, depende na lang ata sa gagawa.

Ayun! Quantum series nga. hehehe. Sorry hindi ko alam yung number.

Btw, may batch defect ang salamin ng Pajeros of my age so talagang mahirap mag-seamless sa windshield. Sa Field Master kaya na nila. Sa Expedition ng father ko nagawa nilang seamless (the same guys who attempted to do my Pajero).

Actually pati sa Winterpine nahirapan sila kaya Magic Neutral ang ginamit. It's one of the thinner films on the market at the time.

There's a new shop mga pare called SEVEN FLAGS along Pasong Tamo.La Fuerza Bldg at the corner of San Lorenzo Village P. Tamo gate, Same bldg ng Ultra Bykes. They have air conditioned tint installing areas and mura ang mga tints nila. Cheapest is less than 2K up the most expensive 14K na parang V Kool. 3M,solar gard, sungard at meron silang 2 brands na exclusive yata sa kanila. It's worth checking out, malinis work shop nila at reasonable presyo.

:dito:
i had my ride tinted here about 3 weeks ago and the result was pretty good. malinis nga yung tint room nila at pulido ang trabaho. at saka chick's galore grabe kasi katapat niya phil school for interior designing...hahahay...:cool01:

If Quantum 14 is the counterpart of 3M dark Magic....then maybe its safe nga to say 3M dark magic sa front at Solarguard Quantum 14 sa sides at rear ang palalagay ko. .... Now san may orig na 3M at orig na Solarguard na okay mag kabit?

[OTEP]

Why not just straight 3M all the way? Diba promo sila sa Winterpine?

[IMm29]

Yeba! Hmmm... for the front, i really don't recommend dark magic coz of the glare. Ewan ko lang sa ibang nakagamit, pero parang mas ok pa mag super dark or dark smoke sa harap kesa dark magic. Madilim, pero less glare.

mga guys, which brand has a better heat rejection? solar guard or 3m? assuming same shade e.g. magic dark.
im planning to reinstall tints on my revo... may additional charge ba pag nagremove ng original tint? is it advisable na itangal and reapply tint on the same day?
how much kaya aabutin pag magic all the way ksama na windshield? san ok po magpakabit along banawe or makati area?
sorry for the numerou questions... thanks!

[zechs]

what brand should i get for JDM look? JDM brown tint right? (if ever natuloy, na ipagbabawal na yung dark tints dito sa atin...)

3M seems better considering that I'm using magic neutral na 3M and darker shade of Solar Guard on the same vehicle. But most of the time, it will not really be that drastic to become noticeable. They're pretty much equal in my book considering the cost savings you get with SG.

They didn't charge me tint removal at Araneta Car Accessories (Jeff Tan's place) when I had the Vitara tinted (platinum magic dark if I recall right). I think Winterpine does not charge also if you get the film from them. Ewan ko lang sa ibang shop, alam mo naman ngayon uso ang raket.

Starex na hindi 3M (Polaroid, Platinum, or Neuvision ata ito) is around Php4,500.00. 3M is Php6,000 up.

ang mahal pala ng 3M... sayang 3M din nakakabit sa car now kaso kitang kita parin tao from outside eh... i think magic light lng yun... gsto ko sana magkaroon ng privacy lalo na sa gabi madalas akong umuwi magisa... anyways will check sa mga shops na recomend mu... btw, may promo ba tlga winterpine ngayon sa tints? thanks for the help!

[OTEP]

Dito ko din lang kasi nabasa na may promo ang Winterpine (Php3,800.00 ata ang sedan). Pero hindi ko confirmed iyan. Antayin na lang natin other posters.

For the Fortuner:

I had Solar Guard's "Super Black" installed for the side windows and rear windshield. This film is quite thick so the installers couldnt do a one piece for the rear windshield. It is not 100% stealth bec. you can still see people inside if you squint through the glass or at certain angles.

For the front windshield, Quantum Magic Super Black was installed so that it wouldnt be too dark when travelling at night.

Anyway, the reason I opted for the SolarGuard and Quantum is because of the positive posts/reviews regarding it esp. from those who installed the tint on a similar vehicle as mine. It is also cost less than 3M and to me, 3M tints are a bit overhyped.

--on paper mas mataas ang heat rejection ng Solargard vs. 3m. and when comparing their prices, make sure na counterpart models/shades and pinag-cocompare. pwede kasing lumabas na mas mura ang isa, yun pala lower model

--regarding the extra charge sa tint removal, dapat wala. pero pwede naman ding sabihin ng isang shop na free ang tint removal then i-include na lang nila sa price ng tint, making you think na libre yung tint removal pero accounted for na sa price. compute for the total cost na lang pag-nagcacanvass at piliin mo kung san mas makatipid

--regarding naman sa same day removal and installation ng tint, walang kaso yun basta maayos at malinis ang pagkakatanggal ng tint depende sa gumawa. dapat kasi nilang siguraduhing malinis yung windows mo bago i-apply ang new tint

advise ko lang na 'wag ka masyado ma-attract sa mga shop na nagsasabing may air-conditioned tint room sila and air-purified ekek (hehe, di ko na lang muna i-name). ganyan kasi ang mali ko dati, yung tint room ang naging factor sakin on what shop to choose. tingin ko hindi rin sya effective and all marketing hype lang (although mas confident ka nga lang sa una dahil attractive yung may tint room pero sa huli mahirap din maiwasan yung mga defects, sa installer din magdedepend)
yung sakin kasi may mga dust and bula rin sa tint pagkatapos. kung iisipin mo kasi hindi naman totally sealed yung room and hindi rin siya parating nakasara, syempre bubuksan rin parati yung tint room since labas pasok ang mga kotse. at syempre rin bubuksan lang ang aircon pagpasok ng kotse mo, e kaya bang ma-filter ng aircon lahat ng alikabok sa tint room.hindi talaga siya pwedeng maging dust-free.

so sa huli, i suggest na pumili ka ng magaling na installer, yung skilled and experienced talaga, yung magaganda ang feedbacks, and yung shop na sigurado mo na hindi mahirap kausap pag may naging problema sa tint. kahit anong brand at shade ang tint mo tapos magkakaproblema lang din sa pag-install, hindi ka rin masasatisfy.
JMHO

isa pa, do a lot of research para less ang chances na nagkamali. ako nga todo research na pero may mali pa rin

[OTEP]

Agree. Don't get too much into the hype of 'tint rooms' ek-ek. Malaking factor pa din ang installer. Kahit may tint room pa kung engot naman ang installer, wala din. Whereas some of the better shops in Araneta and Banawe don't even have tint rooms pero maganda.

Kahit naman a/c ang tint room, hindi naman din ito dustproof. Kung operating room nga sa ospital pinapasok pa din ng alikabok, yun pa kayang tint room?

Yung dust, part na ng atmosphere iyan. Hindi talaga maiiwasan. Huwag lang siguro ga-buhangin ang laki, ok na.

[FerioEG9Boi]

3m super black. kaso after remaking the car, removed the tint na.

[frankosiz]

ace hardware pala in megamall sell and install 3M tint FX series. may naka try na po ba dito. I wonder kasi kung saan nila ikakabit. malamang sa megamall parking lot.

[flakez]

any reviews sa rike cool? may nabasa akong thread dito na nagka problema ata sa rike cool. sa ibang auto kaya ganon din? mga naka rike cool diyan feedbacks naman.... para mapag-ipunan kung ok talaga ung heat rejection niya...

TIA
