VKool OEM vs. 3M tint/s

[Walter]

V-Kool OEM series tint is not generic and it is better than 3M in all aspects ...

not entirely true. vkool OEM is better than 3M FX but IIRC, 3M BC has better TSER than vkool K. So it depends on the model of vkool and 3M which has higher protection.

There is more to tint than just heat rejection ... you need to factor visibility also ... TSER is quoted by the manufacturer ... does not really mean anything unless tested and compared properly by independent entities ...

I got vk70 sa front windshield, driver at front passenger windows while the rest are vkool oem series. Superb heat rejection. Went for a 4 hr trip from north to south and the heat didnt bother me and my passengers. 1st time ko nag long trip n hindi napagod. I fully recommend vkool.

Yes, I have it on my car and the heat rejection is better than a medium 3M fx or the low end tint of 3M

I like the heat rejection of Vkool OEM but the prob is it doesnt look black from the outside.

Hi! I'm considering VKool OEM 20 tint. Gusto ko lang i-verify kung original yung binigay na sample sa akin ng isang tint room:
1. no markings (unlike 3M)
2. bluish gray from the inside (reflective outside)
3. the film is not as thin as 3M FX series

Authentic po ba ito? Please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Have been using 3Ms since the late 90s

To me, what matters is that the tint's color doesn't fade. Brand familiarity makes me stick with 3M... until Subaru changed the narrative because it uses SolarGard for the vehicles it releases here in the Philippines.

I have VKool OEM35 on the Vios and 3M OEM35 on the Mazda. Both full windshield. Mas maliwanag ang VKool sa gabi and the difference is noticeable. I will be replacing the Mazda's tint to VKool soon. Mas black lang talaga tingnan from the outside ang 3M OEM compared to the shinier VKool kaya I'm not replacing the tints on the windows and back glass..

We have different observations. I have OEM20 on my Mazda and CS20 on my Civic. Same lang sila.





Perhaps because you're using FX-ST instead of CS? Difference is about 300-500 pesos between the 2 for a full wraparound, which is worth it if you find the FXST inferior to Vkool OEM. CS is still half the price of Vkool OEM though.

Posible. It's the casa freebie tint (paid 2k for full windshield though) so most probably ang pinakamura ang ginamit nila.

Parang mas maliwanag for me yung sa upper picture. Or magkaiba din ng headlight yan, baka kasi factor din for night driving.

Yup mas malakas kasi headlight ng Civic (OEM LED) kaysa Mazda 3 (HID Retrofit).

But on the parts na hindi lit, halos pareho lang visibility.

Actually. Hindi totoo na retrofit mas maganda kaysa OEM. Tried comparing it to the OEM HID from the CRV:



Stage 2.5 na retrofit ko pero hindi ganyan kalakas.

Nabubura ba ang 3M logo without harming the tint? Yung sakin kasi almost 3 years na andun pa din.

Use alcohol to rub it off. Just did mine a few months ago after having it for 5 years.
