AUTOVIA Window Tint

1What is the law in Malaysia regarding vehicle tinting?

According to the JPJ, the regulations require a minimum of 70% Visible Light Transmission (VLT) for the front windscreen and 50% for the sides and rear windscreen. However, the new regulation, which goes into effect on May 1, 2015, requires the rear windscreen and rear passenger windows to have 30% VLT.

2What exactly ultraviolet (UV) rejection?

The percentage of ultraviolet energy deflected away from the window film is referred to as ultraviolet rejection. Ultraviolet rays can cause fading of upholstery and furnishings. It can also damage the skin and cause skin cancer.

3What exactly is visible light transmission (VLT)?

The amount of visible light that passes directly through filmed glass is referred to as VLT. The lower the visible light transmitted, the darker the tint.

4What exactly is total solar energy rejection (TSER)?

Total Solar Energy Rejected (TSER) is the fraction of total solar energy rejected. Visible light, infrared radiation, and ultraviolet energy are all part of TSER. The greater the percentage, the greater the amount of solar energy deflected. Most tinting shops use Infrared Rejection (IRR) to determine heat rejection. However, IRR only accounts for a portion of TSER. TSER is used as a guide internationally because it is a more accurate way of measuring heat rejection.

5What is the difference between Ceramic and Metalized?

Ceramic window tint is made of the same ultra-thin material as other tints, but it is then coated with microscopic nano-ceramic particles that are invisible to the eye but powerful enough to reduce glare, block 99 percent of harmful UV rays, and handle the sun's most heat-generating infrared rays. This cutting-edge technology makes a significant difference in how you feel and how quickly your car cools down.

Metalized window tint is made of tiny metallic particles. This gives it a reflective or shiny appearance, as well as protection against the sun's most unwelcome side effects: extremely hot surfaces, UV damage, and AC that struggles to keep up. Owners of metallized tint prefer its reflective appearance and ability to reflect heat.

6Does blocking Ultraviolet Rays help in the prevention of Fading and Deterioration?

Yes. The same sunlight that brightens your vehicle's interior can be harmful to the fabrics, leather, dashboard, and other interior surfaces. UV rays are the primary cause of fade and deterioration. Autovia window films can block up to 99 percent of the damaging UV rays that can fade surfaces.

7What do the different window film Shades mean?

Visual light transmission (VLT), or the amount of light allowed through the film, is represented by film percentages. The darker the film, the lower the percentage. Modern advances in window film allow for excellent heat rejection with lighter films, eliminating the need for dark window tint to achieve the same results.

8Is the window film applied to the inside or outside of the vehicle?

The window film is applied to the inside of the glass. The film is first applied to the outside of the vehicle's windows and marked to fit. The pieces are then trimmed down and placed on a large piece of glass before being installed on the inside of the windows.

Alternatively, for a back window or windshield visor, the window film is applied from the outside, allowing us to heat shrink it to fit the shape and contour of the glass. The film is then trimmed before being installed on the inside of the back or front glass.

9What should I use to clean my windows after they've been tinted?

Allow a week after installing window film before cleaning the inside of the window. After a week, wipe down the window with a soft microfiber cloth and a window film cleaner. Never scrape the film with a blade or use anything abrasive to clean your tinted windows, as this will scratch the film.

10How long do I have to wait to roll down my windows?

We recommend that you leave your vehicle windows rolled up for at least 24-36 hours after installing window films. This gives the film time to cure and adhere to the glass before moving the window

GYEON Ceramic Coating

1Why choose GYEON?
We offer cutting-edge, innovative car care products. GYEON sets the standard for effectiveness, high quality, and sophisticated design.
2What does GYEON means?
견고 - GYEON-GO, where the name GYEON is derivate from, means in Korean solid, firm and strong. These adjectives describe ceramic coatings perfectly and therefore we decided to choose this name.
3What is Quartz coating

It is a solid transparent, slick, and highly self-cleaning silica-based protective layer, once crystallised on any surface of your vehicle.

4What are the differences between Quartz and Wax coatings?

A wax is a layer that is intended to last only a short time because it does not form a permanent or semi-permanent bond with the paint. A wax is a compound composed of organic and inorganic ingredients such as carnauba wax, beeswax, or synthetic PET-C or polymer-based ingredients. Because of its low chemical resistance, it adds gloss and repellency but fades after a few washes.

A ceramic coating, on the other hand, is a liquid mixture of Silica or Polysilazanes with solvents that crystallises after the solvent evaporates and forms a solid layer on the surface. This layer is extremely chemically resistant, and once cured, it can only be removed from the surface by mechanical polishing.

5What is the difference between Quartz coating, Glass coating, and Ceramic coating?

"Quartz," "Glass," and "Ceramic" are all synonyms for the same thing: SiO2 (silica-dioxide) coatings. Don't be distracted by phony marketing.

6Will GYEON coatings prevent stone chips?

No, only a high-quality paint protection film will satisfy the requirements.

7Will GYEON coatings prevent scratches?
Matter of fact, due to the slickness of the coating, all of GYEON's quartz coating lines are more scratch resistant than a non-coated car. However, they will not protect your vehicle from scratches or swirl marks caused by automatic car washes, brushes, poor maintenance, or vandalism.
8Will GYEON coatings protect paint from water marks or bird droppings?

Nothing can completely eliminate water marks. They can occur on bare, waxed, or coated paint. Bird droppings is one of the harshest and most harmful substances known.

A coating will buy you the time you need to remove the contamination without etching. However, if you leave it on a hot summer day for several hours, no amount of coating will protect it completely.

9What should I avoid with a coated vehicle?

During the first 14 days, avoid contact with detergents/chemicals. The use of automatic car washes is prohibited. When your vehicle is wet, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight.

10 How long should I wait before washing my car after it has been coated?

We recommend that you do not wash your vehicle for at least 14 days after applying any ceramic coating.

11 How do I remove a coating from my car?

Through machine polishing. Once cured, the only way to remove a ceramic coating from painted surfaces is through mechanical polishing with a cutting compound.

12I have no beading; did the coating stop working?

If your coating is no longer beading, the cause could be simple. With time, the surface accumulated contamination (tar, tree sap, metallic contamination). Your coating is still present and protects your vehicle from UV rays and chemicals.

To remove contamination, we recommend performing chemical decontamination with Q2M Iron & Q2M Tar, followed by Q2M Cure or Q2M WetCoat to restore initial repellency.

13How to maintain a vehicle coated with that product?

Throughout your normal wash routine, we recommend using Q2M Bathe+, Q2M Cure, Q2M Ceramic Detailer, or Q2M Wetcoat. If the Q2 Wax's properties begin to deteriorate, wash your car with Q2M Restart Wash and reapply a layer over it.

14Can I top it off with an additional coating?

No. However, you can use any of our maintenance products to enhance and extend their properties.

15 How long does the product need to dry/cure?

The car should be kept in the garage/studio for at least 12 hours. For the next 7 to 14 days, avoid any contact with chemicals/detergents.

The self-healing layer is the clear coat, which is approximately 13 microns thick. The film will not heal if that layer is broken.

11How do I maintain UPPF paint protection film?

UPPF paint protection film does not require any special maintenance. However, if the film is treated twice a year with UPPF Super Sealant coating, it will last longer and be easier to clean.

12 Can I remove the paint protection film on my own after several years?

No. We recommend that used paint protection film be removed by a professional installer or in a car shop, as glue residue may remain and harm the paint surface.

13Can I use an automatic car wash?

Yes. However, wait 72 hours after installation to allow the film to completely dry.

14Can I use a pressure washer, and if so, how soon after installation?

Yes. However, wait 72 hours after installation to allow the film to completely dry.

15What can I use to clean the film if the film cleaner isn’t working?

UPPF Film Cleaner is intended to remove dirt, grime, and oils from paint protection film, which can lead to yellowing over time. Use acetone or lacquer thinner and a soft microfiber cloth to remove stains from other substances such as insects, bird droppings, or other compounds.

16A piece of road debris scratched my car's film. Will this heal by itself?

UPPF films' self-healing clear coat is designed to repair itself from swirl marks and light scratches caused by car washes, among other things. It will not self-heal if a piece of debris has penetrated all the way through the clear coat of the film. The only way to fix this is to replace the film.

17 How do I get rid of the excess adhesive after I've removed the film myself?

If any adhesive remains after removal, you can use a general-purpose adhesive remover, which can be found at your local auto parts or home improvement store.

18Does the UPPF paint protection film warranty transfer to a new owner if the car is sold?

The UPPF warranty cannot be transferred to another owner.

19Can I reuse the film that I removed from my car on another vehicle?

No, once applied and removed, the film cannot be reused.

20My car dealer applied a paint sealant to it; can I have UPPF installed over it?

Waxes, sealants, and protectants are commonly used to reduce the surface energy of the paint, making it easier to clean, and so on. A decrease in surface energy reduces the film's ability to adhere to the paint and may result in long-term adhesion issues. As a result, we generally advise removing these products prior to installation. If these coatings are to be used, we recommend that they be applied AFTER the installation of our paint protection film.

21Can I apply a ceramic coating on top of the film, and how does this affect the UPPF's self-healing ability?

Yes, coatings can be applied to films. Adding a coating does not limit the film from self-healing. Coatings can add a protective layer over the film, providing different properties depending on the coating (Please contact your installer or coating company for more information). Depending on the coating used, the additional coating layer may or may not self-heal. When the coating wears down and deteriorates, the self-healing properties of UPPF remain.

22What is the UPPF warranty coverage?

Warranty coverage includes degumming, cracking, peeling (except were caused by an external factor such as non-local washing), and delamination. (Warranty only applies to the original paint)

Abrasion caused by external force, collision damage, accidental damage, and any form of vandalism are not included.

23What is the UPPF claim procedure if there is a quality issue after installation?

To file a claim, contact the Authorized UPPF Installer who performed the installation first. To process your claim, you must keep the warranty card, film series number, and problem films. UPPF will contact you for a solution after checking and confirming.
