Wincos

April 29, 2010

Ive tried to research Wincos on the web for more information, but I cant seem to find anything on it. I get links to TD about it, and thats about it. I dont know what wave length they are using either, but I do have it on my vehicle. Ive never had a film on my vehicle that when you roll the window up thats in direct sun, you feel almost no heat coming through the film. Im sure I would feel the same with huper as well, but I dont sell huper. Both films are difficult to work with on auto, so at least I can compare them that way.

If you were using dyed tint before then switched to using any tint that wasn't dyed you would notice a difference in TSER.

Oh absolutely. But even with some metalized films Ive used I still feel less heat with Wincos, and its a dyed film. I have sold quite a bit of Wincos last year and this year. Just did a G35 today with it.

Glad to see that you are upselling for better performance and not slappin' on the cheaper sh1t.

It is a "special" meter made by Lintech to measure their Winco product against other products.It will read their tint to perform better at the wavelength they designed it to.

So they are doing a similar thing to what 3M is doing? Selective wavelength measurement...

Do you know what wavelengths they are measuring with that detecto meter?

I wish I could tell you but I dont know.Exactly though,selective measurement.I will try to find out from the source that told me.

Here is your answer 70 nanometers.

70? :lol That can't be right... that's the X-ray wavelength in the em spectrum. Far from the IR spectrum.

Looks like they are claiming 92% IR rejection for the whole IR spectrum when they are only sampling a spot or two. I hope Gerald isn't marketing it that way, not cool. Like TJ said... there are no specs online, even on the Madico website which I find odd. I wish they'd just post the TSER instead of the cut or a ratio. Looks like they are publishing little to nothing in hopes that people will assume 92% IR rejection means 92% heat rejection.

NEWS FLASH... It doesn't mean that. :lol

Well V it is the right wavelength.DECEPTIVE practices not uncommon in this industry....you know that!

I'll see what I can find through my distributor. It does seem odd that nothing can be found on that film. At one point I did have the specs on that film, but I cant find it. I think I remember the 30% having a TSER of high 50's to low 60's...but I could be wrong. The Lintec site has nothing on it either. Maybe the site in Japanese does, but I can read symbols.

I do have the Wincos specs.Funny how in small print on the bottom itreads"The values in the data are actual measured values and are not guaranteed".

:lol2 So we can wrap that stuff around us when we go in for an X-ray, cool! I here ya though... this industry sometimes has some freaky stuff that they try to feed the general public. :lol2

Case in point...

Looks like they sell that stuff up the road from where you are? Crazy website claims... :twocents

I have a question.. what came first and in what order did the rest show up. solis, v-cool, spectra select, the ir meter, prestige and hooper.
