Ok it is time for me to tint the windows of my Lex and install window films. I have done a research and found out that there are a few good companies in the market that supply window films. 3M, Llumar, Global and Madico. Has any of you used any of these brand names? I have also found out from various owners that from the 4 i mentioned the best are the two last, ie. Global and Madico. They do not change colour after some time and also do not deteriorate from the external enviromental conditions. Is this true?

Madico films are the nuts IMO
I've used several brands and found that overall madico was easier to work with, gave better results, shrank better and cut easier.
It doesn't fade or deteriate like some do.
When I was tinting years ago this was the film I used.
Although slightly dearer it really is worth paying the extra.
1st car I tinted using this was my old vectra around 8years ago. Still looks just as good as of 18 months ago Wink

Lunar films give just as good result but felt needed more work.
3m I didn't get on with tbh as it was hard to work with.
Never used Global.
These are my opinions. Other ppl may have different results.

Madico is a good film so is solar guard, make sure they use an automotive tint not an architectural film this is a cheaper film so they make more money :blink:
