What is Magic Tint and the principle behind it?

[rsnald]

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

OT
kurek ka jan. ako nga minsan, pag nakapark sa waltermart, nagsusuklay pa yung nagsasalamin sa side windshields ko, di nila alam may tao pala sa loob. Buti na lang wala pang nagtitinga o nangungulangot :lol:

back to topic,
super dark tints, di advisable sa gabi. kung walang light source ang dadaanan mo , you're virtually running blind. kahit yung light silver tint, nababawasan din visibility at night. Yung front windshield ko, full tint yun, nung bago pa lang yun, kala ko minsan patay headlight ko pag naka low beam ako, yun pala, bawas lang yung intensity ng ilaw because of the tint. 3M medium dark mas ok.

3M Medium Magic tint din pinakabit ko. I would have wanted a darker 3M tint, but the wife insisted on the same tint as their 1999 Adventure. Turns out, mas ok pa pala yung Medium Magic, especially for night driving.

Of course, for night driving, nothing beats having no tint at all on the front windshield.

I wouldn't be so sure. Sa dami ng mga basta na lang nagha-high beam sa daan pag gabi, baka mas malala pa yung eyestrain ko if not for my windshield tint.

So in summary, ibig nyo bang sabihin lahat na 3M Magic Tint (medium) ang the best? Nalito na kse ako sa dami ng advise hehe. :praning:

How about other brands? Someone posted in another thread that Solar Gard V-Kool is the most expensive and the best deflector of UV rays? Is this true?

[Karding]

AFAIK, 3M Magic tint is comparable to SolarGard Quantum Tint. Parang one-way mirror nga kapag may araw at light tint sa gabi. (installed on my previous civic)

May SolarGard brand ba ang V-Kool? Ang pinaka the best the heat deflector ng SolardGard is the Quantum film.

HP Quantum 50% tint is 94% UV Protection. Now, I just had my tint last saturday using the 8-month old technology (daw!) called FormulaOne Pinnacle. Pinnacle series has 99.5% UV Protection at 50% tint. Advisable sa mga may electronics sa loob ng cars especially to those radio antenna embedded to rear glass.

Maximum ultraviolet protection
No hindrance to vehicle electronic systems
Will not interfere with radio frequencies
Maximum heat rjection in a non-metallized film

Sayang, hindi available sa shop yung "UV Series" ng FormulaOne.

The film that is virtually invisible for the driver who wants UV protection without a tinted appearance. Offering the highest level of protection from UV A and B rays at 99.9%. UV Shield is the only automotive window film recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.

UV Shield is effective on clear or factory tinted glass to improve occupant protection from UV rays.

You have a point there. Sa bagay, naka-full tint yung windshield ko na 3M, hindi naman masyadong mahirap pag night driving, at malaki nga ang tulong nya pag may *#$*!! na ayaw mag-dip ng high beam sa highway.

Bottom line, I guess, would be to find the best balance of low-light visibility and ability to reduce incoming glare that the individual driver is comfortable with.

what's the difference between a SolarGard Dark Magic and a SolarGard Quantum?

[number001]

I always get confused with Solar Gard and Sun Gard (Francine Prieto is the endorser of this)? AFAIK, the Sun Gard is more inexpensive than 3M. And in another thread Solar Gard is the most expensive daw?

Also if Solar Gard does not have V-Kool, then what is V-Kool? Another brand?

thanks

[buknoy2002]

this is what i know
vkool most expensive. pero maganda yung clear tints nila.
solar gard - sister company/affiliate ng vkool. nong nag pa solar gard ako (mga 4 yrs ago) halos pareho price nila ng 3m.

[pepengtom]

example of vkool is ung tint ng teriyaki boy sa tomas. napansin ko lang kasi ung vkool na sticko e.
