RIKE COOL tint (ala v-kool)

[finchy18]

Hi Guys, rainbow effect on tint is normally a sign of unhealed tint. Rainbow effect normally takes time to heal out depending on the kind of film installed. The thicker the film such as IR ( infra red ) take longer ( months ) before they start to cure. Brands such as Solargard, 3M, Sungard heal easier than Rike Cool or Vkool. Evaporation is the solution for this and hence, takes it's time. The rainbowish pattern is caused by the shampoo and water combination between the tint and glass. Once evaporated, the soapy solution disappears giving a clean and clear glass effect.

mag 1 year na tong stripes ko sir.. rainbow talaga parang film..

Finchy, you had 3M installed? what shade? Normally 3M heals less than a week.

LAcars, thanks for your explanation. i guess i'll just have to wait until the tint dries out. i've had it for about a month now, and the view does get distracting. can you be more specific when you say that it takes months to heal? i also notice that i don't get that rainbow effect/glare on my door and rear glass, only on my windshield. how could this be?

less curvature, less "prism" effect.

i think in some tints meron talaga yung rainbow effects pag natamaan ng ilaw, like for solar gard (magic dark and medium) ganon sya talaga.

hmmm, something like that pero not exactly. kasi hindi naman hazy yung buong view ng windshield. it's actually clear, except for the reflection from light sources (like headlights, tail/brake lights, stop lights, etc.)

im thinking of putting rike cool also. this characteristic, would you say that it bothers you enough that it distracts you from driving safely? or is it something that you just notice, and maybe you'll get used to it in time? tia for your comments maybe it's because of the sputtered metal that's embedded into the tint (if it has sputtered metal).

[kookai]

i can drive safely with it, but the multiple reflection from the tint bothers my view. personally, it's something i can't live with. in fact, i'm planning to bring it back to the store for replacement if the condition doesn't improve. your tolerance may be quite different, though.

ill be in ghills night market mamayang gabi.
if you want to check out my tint, punta nalang po kayo...
sa street tapat ng carpark (gloria jean, max's) ako mag park most probably

bm5er, kookai, warbird,

may i ask if ok na yung Rike Cool nyo? its been over a month since u had them installed. From the feedback of LAcars, dapat wala na yung rainbow/glare effect di ba? Am interested to know kasi I am also thinking of putting Rike Cool on my windshield. Thanks.

May I also ask how would you know an original Rike Cool from a fake? Can anyone share this info or point us to a website/link? I was told may fake din daw na Rike Cool.

bro naka super white bulbs kaba? baka it has something to do with it di kaya? pansin ko sakin pag bukas ko ng headlight ko which is 6000k labas lahat ng rainbow effect e. after mag set na yung color ng bulb ko nawawala narin rainbow effect. my tint is solar gard, rainbow effect may be due to the metal spurt in it.

mine is 6000K HID.. pero wala talaga yung rainbow effect..
i'm not pro or anti LACARS, i'm just sharing my experience.

any update re rike cool issues? it's been more than a month na since the "rainbow" effects on recently installed tints.

[flakez]

yup, any news sa mga naka rike cool... kamusta naman heat rejection? mas ok ba siya kesa sa ibang tint? mas gusto ko kasi ngayon ung parang clear at siyempre maganda rin heat rejection. papalitan na kasi ung tint ng kotse. kaya hanap ako ng maganda, hindi ko pa kaya ng v-kool eh. hehehe.

[msg]

my friend had his mazda 6 installed wit vkool all around. ok naman ang heat rejection. works like huper optic na naka install sa rav4 namin minus nga lang ang shade ng black.

id rather pay additional cash rather than risk the problem of glare sa rike cool. kasi sa vkool ng friend ko wala naman glare.
