Which brand of Solar Film is the Best?

angielika SG

I was looking at V-Kool but frens advised me NOT to use this brand. Pls advise Sad

dork3d SG

There's a brand, Sun X, not bad...

angielika SG

Hey I have not heard abt this brand… What abt HuperOptiks?

dork3d SG

Hmmm... Not bad, my company's using it...

angielika SG

Pls enlighten me. The colour of the tint does not determine the UV heat reduction right? How does it works? Whats the LTA compliance?

sir_boris SG

instead of chasing by brands, should look out for

1. specification -- as in how much IR rejection, and transmittance. most will have 99% UV rejection. the highest priced ranges a vendor give are those with high IR rejection. this is to reject heat.

2. workmanship -- this is utmost important.

3. guarantee on LTA compliance for light transmittance (min 70% front, 25% rear)-- this has to be when installed, not the film itsef. some cars already slightly tinted.

4. no interference with radio signals - as in HP, IU.

so do shop around, see which shop you like... and do it there.

I just called my sales man. He said Lexus use HuperOptiks solar film (99% UV and 80% Infra reduction). This is good enough? So if I were to change another solar film, will they discard the original and replace with the new?

Get the super reflect one where ppl totally cant see in . N all they see is a mirror! Those are best ~

MCY SG

I've tried V-Kool and Huper, I prefer Huper cause the interior temp of the car seems to cool down faster when parked under the sun.

BadzMaro SG

V-Kool is too expensive ah! But it is certified to pass the police checking.
I would suggest 1 Layer of reflect Sun-Cool and then a layer of black 50% or 60% black tints.

First of all Sun-Cool reflects the heat that is trapped at the black tints and the black tints further keeps the cool in ur car .

sir_boris SG

2 layers???? wow.

cant jus say brand A is cooler den brand B. cos within each brand, got various grades. check the spec.

Hi Angie.

Trust me. Huper Optik is good. Somemore it's installed in Borneo Motors itself. Any prob can always go back to your sales person. Very Happy

tanhs8 SG

huper is ceamic base , v cool is metalic based, most brand carried low ,medium, or high grade.i got lobang for huper if u like i will arranged a visit to the workshop before u decide, bring ur friends for advice

sinicker SG

mine is huper-optik too!

SE said there is nothing good abt V-Kool. it's pricey coz' it's too marketed.

fondue SG

I tot the v-kool mystic has higher specs than HO with I was getting mine, but maybe its because the higher spec HO is not suitable for the orginal tinit on my glass.

Anyway, Very happy with my v-kool mystic. Its more expensive, but if you spread the extra $100 over 5yrs, its not too much of a burden.

My dad's using cool n lite...

T.Ryousuke SG

V-kool is a metal film that will corrosive. so maybe you can try others but hear huper is a heat asborsing not good, try 3M hear they are 1 of the best now.
