The term "magic" is usually applied to the silver ones (i.e. 3M Magic). Characteristics of this type is that its light level penetration adjusts somewhat from day to night wherein it's easier to see the outside at night but when the film is hit directly by light during the day, it reflects light more. I usually use 3M Magic Medium or neutral upfront, on the windshield.

interesting question. ang magic tint kasi is based on the polarized film (remember the ray-bans?) na kapag na-arawan nag-iiba yung kulay-thus magic. well, ok ito, kasi pag ma-araw, block nya yung harmful uv-rays at saka yung init, plus privacy na rin. sa gabi naman, medyo light yung tint, minimal lang. parang wala pero meron.

Thanks guys. So lumalabas na itong tint na to eh parang salamin during the day. Diba heto yung mga tint na silver? Preferred ko sana yung black tint. Yung tipong silhouette mo na lang ang makikita. Meron ba nun?

IMO...

kapag gabi... medyo hindi maganda ang magic tint.

yung instrument panel ko ay nagrereflect sa windows... then kapag malakas ang ulan, mahirap rin makakita.

hindi ako familiar sa magic tint pero parang ang problema dun ay yung one-way mirror effect. kapag ang source ng light ay sa side ng viewer makikita nya yung reflection nya pero kapag ang source ng light ay sa kabilang side ng glass di nya makikita ang reflection nya. so kung dark enough ang glass tapos may light source ka sa loob mahihirapan ka ng makita yung labas kasi magrereflect lang ang light.

Bakit sa akin malinaw pa den..... baka kasi bago pa (WASAK na nga pala!!!).

OT: 2K yung 3M Magic tint na ipinakabit ko recently sa casa (PILHINO). I recently had an accident and kailangan ko ulit lagyan ng tint yung sasakyan. Since 3M na Magic tint na yung nakalagay sa lahat ng windows nya, 3M na den ang ipalalagay ko sa ipapalit na winshield. San ba magaling maglagay ng 3M magic tint? Yung tipong mura lang, hehehe. Akala ko covered sya ng insurance since kasama sya sa nasira during the accident pero hindi pala (tama nga bang hindi sya kasama???).

TIA!

compared to the traditional dark tints... mas ok nga. kaso... compared to clear tints (or having no tints) - sobrang malayo pa rin.

yung sa mazda kasi, walang tint yung harap. pero nagtataka ako at mas ok pa ang visibility nun (considering na multi-reflector na ang headlamps nung rav4).

tapos, try mo rin na nakababa yung windows kapag nag drive... ang linaw ng visibility...

For me, the 3M magic tint is better than having a traditional dark tint since the former allows you more visibility at night. Of course, for night driving, nothing beats having no tint at all on the front windshield.

Ang problema ko lang sa magic tint, pag nakaparada ako, ginagawang vanity mirror ng mga pedestrian ang ride ko
