If I remember correctly, pag sedan around Php5k, 1-pc sa windshield.

As for installers, better make the trip to Banawe para makapag-canvass ka. Sa Manila area kasi limited ka sa choices, and sa experience ko, mas mataas maningil yung mga shops sa Abad Santos (Romy's, Autoworks, etc.).

Meron clear tint na ni-o-offer ang Sun-X (* Auto Centro Cubao). Clear Cool raw ang brand, 5k for sedan, 1pc front and rear. Quoted heat rejection is about 50% raw, sabi ni Erick. Clear, pero may konting greenish effect once installed raw. Sabi nung ermats ni Erick, SunGard US raw may gawa. Medyo duda lang ako, kasi walang ganun sa lineup ng SunGard online.

Pero parang gusto ko i-try. Kung bitin sa heat rejection, magpapadagdag na lang siguro ako nang isa pang patong ng 3M BC35 for sides and rear, once fully cured na yung 1st layer...

I suggest you just spend the 5k on 3M BC35 (53% TSER) instead of trying out another tint. Sayang din yung pera pag nagkataon na palpak yung Clear Cool. Sa 3M sigurado ka na as long as genuine yung tint.

Thanks Helly. Actually, the casa will already be giving me free tint na 3M BC35.

Gusto ko lang talaga clear tint, so kunin ko yung 3M na uninstalled. Besides, the casa can't install na 1pc sa front and back, so I really prefer to have my own installer.

Been looking at other clear tints, and it's unfortunate na V-Kool is no longer available locally (at least wala sa usual LACars and V-Kool Santolan). They're offering SolarGuard LX70, which from the website is actually for architectural use. Sun-Gard local distributor also offers the Sun-Gard Century Nova 70, but is also for architectural use. Ano kaya disadvantage ng using building tint for cars? They actually have higher TSER, and sometimes are thicker tint which makes for more secure and safer windows.

Sa FGC naka pag kabit sila ng whole piece for my new Fiesta... baka pwede mong avail yun free tint at sa FGC ka na lang magpa kabit... sayang kasi yun FREE. Gagasta ka pa ng malaki... unless nga gusto mo nun clear tint.
