anybody hear about it? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Its suppose to block 92% of IR Light significantly reducing heat inside the vehicle. Its 350 installed definitely more than basic tint. Just wanted to know if any anybody has used or heard of it.

 

never heard of it. i have llumar on mine

 

Its a line of Madico film. Not a bad film but over priced like ceramic film.

 

never heard of it but it really doesnt matter... all tint is made in the same place just different name brands put their name on it

 

That is incorrect.

 

that's kind of what I've gathered from my research this film blocks nearly twice as IR light which is where you get most of your heat from. So I have my apt this morning at nine so I'll have some pix up this evening. And updates on the amount of heat reduction I notice.

 

well I got the tint put on yesterday and immediately noticed a SIGNIFICANT reduction in the heat inside the car. I have a doctors appt next week for the lasec eye surgery and that will entitle me to having darker than legal windows on all windows so I will be going back and getting a sheet on the front window @ 60% that's where majority of heat comes from

 

Huper Optik FTMFW!!

 

how so?

 

Try it out.... let us know how it turned out.

 

There are many film manufacturers. The bigger ones like Llumar, FTI, Commonwealth, Madico, Johnsons, Global, Bekaert, Huper Optiks and so on that make their films to their specs and in house. Many may use the same polyesters as another but the film is very different. Your comment applies more to films that are rebranded for private lables or chain stores. They still varry from the original in many ways though and cant be compaired.

The manufacturing process varries, adhesives are different, scratch resistant coatings, UV stability and heat rejection.....

They all install different, look different, hold up different and have different specs. Even smaller companies that use a larger film manufacturers to make the film have it made to their specs. Some manufacturers are not even film companies.

Not all of them make their own films but they are far from alike.

 

Agree 100%. That's what I have as 30% rear and back and 40's on front.

Winco tint is made by Madico

Looks like good stuff, though they say 'newest technology' lol. Huper Optik has had that technology for years and years

Beside that point...post some snaps when you can. Ceramic film FTW

 

wow... i need to do some research... i was told different from 2 tinters but i guess you cant always believe what they say. lol

 

I went to a shop today that uses this film (Solar Eclipse near Mall of Georgia, NE of Atlanta).

They had a display with a heat lamp and different kinds of tint. 3M charcoal tint barely blocked the heat, Huper Optik blocked most of the heat, and Wincos blocked more heat than the Huper Optik.

Huper Optik is a thicker film but I think it looks better on a car with a color (red, blue) rather than a neutral car like mine (silver). Also, Huper Optik is visually superior (like looking through nice sunglasses) while Wincos is like normal sunglasses with grey lenses.

At this shop Wincos is $320 and Huper is $450.
