madico film question

January 27, 2006

Hi all. This seem to be a very informative site, so I thought I'd ask this here. Is anyone still using the madico tg series? How is it holding up and how is the coloring on it. Any feedback would be great. Thanks all.

I have used it in the past... window film holds up differently in different climates.. it may last 1 year in one climate and 5 years or more in another...so your question is to vague in that aspect

as for the color...some people like it ..some dont..it is all personal preference

this may not have helped :lol6

OMG...I haven't heard that referred to since Adam was a boy.

No tinter worth his salt would use any NR crap down here unless he was a fly-by-nighter. :dunno

hay devil does the "new" carbon dyed, no color change film last down there? or is that all crap in the long run to (not long run as in lifetime, just 5-7 years)

My youngest son's car, I installed Onyx. Six years later it is just starting to turn color. Everything else is fine. It is never garaged.

About the only one floggin' Carbon is 3M Tiger and there's not been enough of that to really gauge any sort of real world long term data yet.

I do know that what I have seen of it (including the same product 3m donated to tint my own work vehicle in it) has not been all that good for other reasons.

Blemishes/optical distortions in the substrate, incredibly soft adhesive which marks through the film with cars that have tight fitting rubber surrounds and poor SR coating.

I will not personally be stocking it for future installs.

Mad's Onyx has been great like Tman said, absolutely no adhesive failures of any sort in 6 years or so and maybe just a hint of a change in colour occuring. Darn good my friend for down here.
