What are your expectations 1st.

There's even cheap cheap $200 film. Whether it actually any good ... well that's another story.

Try getting a quotation from Nanolux as well, it's probably the closest thing to V-Kool. The people who own Nanolux are also the people who own V-Kool anyways.

Highest TSER should be metallic-based solar film, aka V-Kool.

VFM should be ceramic-based solar film, go find quotes from the tinting big players and go for the cheapest with the best specs I suppose.

Hope it's not advertisement, Jerga sucks in a lot of aspects from quality to service to finish.

I suggest you look elsewhere, Infra-tint, vKool, 3M etc.

I installed infratint after living with rikecool for the longest time - it's a world of difference in terms of blocking heat from the sun.

i got RikeCool from Mazda AD. Terrible workmanship and on average i have about three bubbles per glass.
My Mazda3's was easy to scratch... day 1 already a few scratches. My current Mazda's better, doesn't scratch so easily. But it's AD... so don't expect much... foc one.

it all depends on the grade of the film. I am sure rikecool or cool n lite highest grade is comparable to the infratint 99

Mother nature still rules no matter how good the film is.

Lets not get carried away with saying who's best, for front 2 windows and windshield, they are bound by 70% VLT to make the tint legal, hence there's only "that much" heat that can be rejected, Rear windows however, can have more heat rejection cos the VLT requirements are lower. Any of the brands mentioned here are not bad, just have to see which suits your pocket better. Just be careful of 3M CR70 cos if you stick it to your glass and take a VLT meter to measure, its slightly below 70%.(reason being most cars have a slight factory tint on their windows)

If you wanna go to the dark-side and exceed legal limit, if not so obvious you will end up replacing every 2 years cos VICOM inspection they will use light meter to check. If very obvious, TP will stop you on the road, and ask you go do VICOM assessment.
