Best 3M tint series (ranking)

The purpose of installing RFID is defeated. Parang Cash basis na din if you need to pull out the card every entry and exit.

Sorry for this stupid question....

Maaapektuhan pa rin ba yung windshield-installed RFID sticker kung maglalagay ng Vkool tapos bubutasan lang dun sa part na may RFID sticker?

Should be ok. I hope magaling lang yung mag cucut ng hole for the RFID. Nakaka OC pag hindi flush yung tint sa sticker hehe.

VK lang yata yung may metallic content na tint ng Vkool. Yung OEM nila wala naman problem sa RFID.

Still related to car tint so here goes..

I'm not that knowledgeable about the RFID toll systems but aren't each RFID installation also provided with a RFID enabled card in case the headlight or windshield sticker can't be picked up by the reader?

This is of particular interest to me since I'm planning on changing my tint and I'm willing to resort to pulling out an RFID card just so I don't have to put a hole in my tint or have the RFID sticker on my headlight.

that is correct, sir.
i have had occasion to pull out my plastic card and have the toll attendant scan it with their scanning gun, because their remote reader couldn't seem to read my windshield sticker that is pasted onto the bare, untinted windshield glass.
it is strange, because the other tollgates that i pass thru in the same trip, could read my rfid, naman. also, the verysame reader that couldn't read it previously, was able to read it the next time.
and no, there is no bird poop on the windshield. heh heh.

by personal experience, pulling out that card is an annoying hassle, and is made even more annoying, when there is heavy rain. mababasa ang kamay nyo at ang loob ng pintuan nyo.
so much technology, and they couldn't even design a rain-proof tollgate-abot-the-card system.
rant.

Any 3M Ceramic IR user for the windshield?

Di mabasa yung NLEX RFID ko kahit pinalitan na. May butas na yung tint ko sa harap and yet di pa rin mabasa. Kahit naka ilan laki na ako ng butas.

Im thinking of changing to Ceramic IR. Pa feedback please.

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback

Walang experience sa IR15. Pero parang mababa na ang 15 na VLT? 85% ng light blocked yata ito....

sabi sa winterpines.. feedback ng customer malinaw sa Gabi IR15 .. the reason mas best mabasa/marinig ko in first hand sa mga naka IR15

mataas nga as in 84% light rejection.. does it mean, lagi naka bright which not good.

hope meron mag feedback na naka IR15

Thanks Monkey!!!

Problem sa super dark tints is the tint itself and thus your window gets warm. Sure direct radiation isn't making its way inside your car, but you get heat from convection.
For absolute heat rejection the magic (reflective) type tints are best, but visibility suffers at night and in inclement weather.

I think best compromise is the high VLT but also high TSR tints, VKool 70, Ceramic IR 90 and similar. Gotta always dress well lang and resist the urge to pick your nose in the car

How can I distinguish between 3M IM and 3M IR window tints? Is the IR option worth the extra cost?
