What's the best car tint brand and color?

[peerproxy]

Has anyone tried installing 2 tints in the windshield? Inside and outside. I'm not sure if wipers will eventually tear off the tint film on the outside, but if it's not, this makes sense to me, double protection from the outside. The idea is to use V Kool on the inside and solargard on the outside. V kool for heat rejection, solargard for adding privacy.

Thanks for the link.

Ok, so now it is rather proven that double tint could work, but what would be the effect if you were to use v kool+solargard, has anybody done this? Is the heat rejection better? Is the visibility compromised?

I've heard of folks getting the high end VK series (or whatever is the clear VKool line), and then getting a layer of super black. This way, they get the best heat rejection and have a high level of privacy. I just don't know if they put 2 levels up front.

I have no experience doing double tint up front -- except for a visor, but that's another story as I do not expect much visibility on the visor level, especially at night.

logically, double tint will provide you with higher heat rejection and higher privacy but reduced visibility. this is like using a single dark tint but just with increased heat rejection.

let's try some combo..

high-end V-Kool VK70 + super black SolarGard HP Supreme 6

VK70
VLT = 70%
TSER = 55%

SolarGard HP Supreme 6
VLT = 4%
TSER = 58%

Combined VLT = 0.70 x 0.04 = 2.8% --> very low visibility, too dark for night driving
Combined TSER = 0.55 + (0.55 x 0.58) = 86.9% --> excellent heat rejection

====

high-end V-Kool VK70 + medium black SolarGard HP Supreme 22

VK70
VLT = 70%
TSER = 55%

SolarGard HP Supreme 22
VLT = 22%
TSER = 55%

Combined VLT = 0.70 x 0.22 = 15.4% --> good privacy, acceptable for night driving with caution
Combined TSER = 0.55 + (0.55 x 0.55) = 85.25% --> excellent heat rejection

===

high-end V-Kool VK70 + light black SolarGard HP Supreme 35

VK70
VLT = 70%
TSER = 55%

SolarGard HP Supreme 35
VLT = 35%
TSER = 44%

Combined VLT = 0.70 x 0.35 = 24.05% --> good privacy, good for night driving
Combined TSER = 0.55 + (0.55 x 0.44) = 79.20% --> very high heat rejection

====

mid-range V-Kool K37 + medium black SolarGard HP Supreme 22

K37
VLT = 37%
TSER = 47%

SolarGard HP Supreme 22
VLT = 22%
TSER = 55%

Combined VLT = 0.37 x 0.22 = 8.14% --> very good privacy, quite dark for night driving
Combined TSER = 0.47 + (0.47 x 0.55) = 72.85% --> heat rejection higher than VK40 or VK70 alone

Hindi na nga heat rejection. Sight rejection na! Hehe!

But seriously, don't do a double tint up front. Sa gilid pwede naman coz you can roll down the windows if you need to see better, plus you're not looking out that much. But with the windshield, you don't have those options.

Which is better 3M or Solar Gard?

depends sa tint series at particular spec ng tint na pinili mo. backread page 97.

Will probably go for the medium tint.

after doing some research and based on my own experience, i think for me, the best tint will be the v-kool X series. it is dark (for privacy) but has very good visibility from the inside (which i think no other brand can match), it also has high heat rejection (based from experience). i am now saving up for the X series which i wish to install on my compact suv perhaps next month at hpm in d.tuazon
