[Black_c]

Hi,

 

Just to find out which is the best, effective and cost saving tinted film to be use?

 

 

1. VKool

2. Huper Optik

3. Coolnlite

4. Mcgap

5. RikeCool

6. Others

I had tried few brands of film for my past 4 cars.

Vkool and Huper Optik is still the best. No such

thing as cheap, good and effective.

 

You can install other brand which can also makes you

car window look darker, but the heat filtering portion

may not as good as Vkool or Huper Optik. A bit exp

for these 2 quality brands.

Have you try on coolnlite b4? Any comments? My friend told me that it is quite cooling and also with anti-glaring effect.(We had tested b4).

I heard from Nissan Tampines that there is a V-Cool call Mirage going at $800 i.e a darker tinted rear windscreen and side door glass.

 

This is a life-time warranty instead of the normal 10 years.

 

Looks neat. Any opinion what are the types of tinted screen V-cool has?

hihi...poor student on tight budget here...so i choose according to my wallet.

 

Using SunGuard now. It does reduce alot of glare and heat (previously i had none and my arm was always burning from the afternoon sun). I did my coupe (all window panels) for RM$320 (SG$143) but it wasnt the cheapest cos the boss charged me more cos i look like a good carrot to chop. A sedan will light green flim would cost only abot RM$280 (SG$125).

 

I havnt tried any others yet so i cant compare.

[Elton]

Nope, no comment on coolnlite. I had tried

 

1. VKool

2. Huper

3. Ray Barrier

4. Sun Cool

 

All of these flim also quite cooling

and anti-glaring effect when compared

to normal car window. Just share my experience:

 

My friend and me parked side by side at the same

carpark from 8 am to 12 pm. His car with VKool premium and

mine with Ray Barrier premium. When we colect our car, I felt

that his car interior is slightly cooler a little bit.

Same car and model.

 

How long are you going to drive the car? Does your job

require you to drive around Singapore? If yes, VKool or HO.

If no, any brand will do. Save some $$ for I.C.E which

can be taken out when you sell your car.

u done your film in MY? got address of the workshop?

Hi, 3M just came out with their line of tint and UV films recently and my uncle have install the 3M premium in his car, I can really feel the difference with his black hyundai sonata and my car (orange colour) after parking at the same spot under the sun. His is definately much more cooler than mine. I am using Thermal Guard. Try to check the 3M out. I will ask him for the contact, if you are interested. If i knew that 3M just launch their window films earlier i would have definately go for it. 3M product cant be far off in their quality.

 

I have been using 3M products in my engineering line and i trust their brand. Ask any engineer, he will tell you 3M products are good !

Go to http://www.v-kool.com.sg

 

Or Visit the below thread:

I am not so concern about the 10 years warranty as they

also know that seldom pple can drive a car for 10 yrs.

 

To install V-Cool is not a cheap option. Why don't

you go down to their workshop or show room to have a

better understanding? There are few different packages

available.

 

One more alternative is to install at Malaysia. I think

there is also V-kool and Suncool or whatever cool. Much cheaper but quality

don't know how.

[Elton]

Looks like there is another brand for me to try

on my next car. Can let me know the contact and

the price?

[Jiayong]

the one that i do not good lah...

 

go to the GIANT nearest to Holiday Plaza (sorry..i not good with the roads there..only know how to go..dunno road name)...the carpark there got accesories shop..that shop is cheap and good.

 

Our MCF bro went there to do liao...not happy with result...went back 2 weeks later and the shop replaced for free...no questions asked.

[Dcool]

Ok, I call my uncle later, i think i heard him saying that they just launched not too long ago and the shop is in UBI near Fong Kim exhaut i think.. i get more details from him and post here again. After seeing his film, i feel like i am paying for something that is not really working for my car.
