We see a lot of sales on TradeMe, the New Zealand equivalent of e-bay. The film sold is usually from Asian countries, very cheap and of complete rubbish quality.
They may get away with it in other countries, but in NZ? No way! Six months later, bubbles, turning purple and in some cases it falls off by itself.
We have measured the UV rejection of these films. They very seldom have more than 70%. The heat stopped is around 12%.
Now compare this to a metallised quality film, with a lifetime warranty, if installed by a qualified tinter!
No UV transmission, and 48% heat rejected! This film is colour stable, will not bubble or fall off!
So why are people buying the cheap film?
Well, I think it is either ignorance or our industry needs to educate the public more!
The adage still stands: You get what you pay for!
My advice: Deal with a member of Master Tinters and you will get good quality in both product and workmanship!
