    She said that it is 3m Tint they are providing for the new cars...
    * Magic neutral= usually installed for windshield
    * Magic Black= mirror typed tint
    * Super Black= tint with the darkest shade
    * Medium Black= next in line with super black

    Do any of those color names suggest that the tint is CR or BC or CS or FXST? The dealer is 2 1/2 hours away from where I live and she can't seem to tell me which tint style/class they give as a freebie.
    I think the tints given as freebies in dealers are just the fx type.

    I'm quite sure that you are right Bin.I am trying to decide on whether to pass on the free tint and have better quality installed,or go ahead and take the free tint and then upgrade later.

    Anybody know if you are charged for removing old tint when upgrading to a higher quality?

    as far as I know, most of them won't charge for removing the tint. The problem lies with the removal of the said tint placed on your rear windshield. if not done carefully, the removal process will also include the defogger (copper-like lines).

    my suggestion for you would be pass up the free Tint and haggle some other freebies :D

    Pass na agad tapos pa-tint ka nalang sa labas. Tanong mo baka pwede naman ipalit nalang sa ibang freebies yung tint. Sa Hyundai Dasma kasi 3M Color Stable yung free tint pero di ko parin kinuha, pinalit ko nalang sa 3M Nomad Matting. Tapos pina-tint ko nalang sa labas. Llumar. Pero ngayon baka palitan ko ng Solar Gard, masyadong light yun nakuha kong shade

    Try waiting atleast a week kung mawawala ang bubbles. Before may bubbles din tint ko sa windshield but after a while nawala din.

    Hi! I'm a newbie here and I've been reading this thread for advice on what tint to get. I already have a CASA installed 3M tint pero kitang kita ako sa loob! I'm a lady driver and I want a darker tint for safety reasons but I'm worried that it might be hard to see at night. So far, I'm leaning towards Solargard or 3M because they get a lot of good reviews and they're not that expensive. But idk which shade to get. Any recommendations? Thanks!

    if you have a sunglasses with a lighter shade, try to use one when driving at night. More importantly, try it when it is raining.

    It will more or less give you an idea if you can tolerate a darker shade for the rear windshield and window glass.


    *everyone
    anyone here can post a google map for the solargard/vkool dealer sa ortigas? yung may sariling tint room.

    Go for 3M Black Chrome or the equivalent Solargard tint (I keep forgetting the name). If your goal is privacy + outside visibility, you should get those with visible light transmission between 20 and 35. That's usually the number after the tint (i.e. BC35, VK60, CS20, etc). Also, you should get a lighter shade for your windshield.

    Since magpapa-retint ka na lang din, check the heat rejection rates if you do decide on something to maximize your purchase. The 3M BC is good enough though.

What's the best car tint brand and color?
