If you are in Sydney Dave at Reflect Effect in North Parramatta is really good. He did my Golf.
Rob at Hunters Hill Window Tinting is also highly recommended. A mate had him come to Newcastle to do his Golf.

No, it's not.
It's a VERY good price for a wagon!!! Go for it. If you have the glass roof, CXP35 is the PERFECT match h for colour & tint.

I used Dave on my Golf. I haven't got the new car yet so no comment on the current job!

He had to remove the door trim in order to access the side windows. Doing so required the removal of the door handle trim. Unfortunately the edges of the wood trim were nicked & damaged. It's quite obvious when you look closely. He said that he was used to removing aluminium - but I thought that would leave a scratch then. I'm a little sad and was hoping to be a strong advocate for him. Nice bloke & all, but I've left him with a prestige car and was hoping he would take as much care of the interior as the exterior paintwork - which he hasn't. Also the tint creates funny glare at night off each of the horizontal lines in the back window - which creates a very distorted view of the rear in the rear view mirror. I was also hoping for a very dark tint - but you can still see the interior fairly well on 35% darkest legal. I drove around afterwards and saw lots of new Mazda CX-5's with a darker tint than mine. Maybe they weren't legal - but it bothers me that I don't have a particularly dark tint. Dave didn't offer any tinting advice. I'm new to tinting and thought 35% would be ok, but would have liked to have been informed about perhaps putting 20% at the rears. Some sales people will offer advice that might be useful even if it seems the buyer has made up their mind. So I'd say for tinting go elsewhere or perhaps stick with the dealership tinting. This way if they nick the wood trim, they'd take full responsibility & do something about it. In his position as a small business, Dave wouldn't do anything - and I wouldn't really want to kick up a fuss. Most of the damage was done to my driver's door. The passengers wouldn't really notice much damage. I'll have a look online to see if I can do anything to fix it. I did ask Dave, but he didn't have any ideas.

What colour is your interior? Mine is black and 35% works perfectly.

That's why your interior looks bright still. Trying to make heads & tails of everyone's cars can be a little mind numbing with so many intertwining threads.

Got my tint done by Reflect Effect, and really happy with the result. I didn't go too dark, stuck with legal and non reflective.
While there, also decided to wrap a few parts of the car in chip protection film, which I also can't fault. Definitely recommend Dave if you're in Sydney |

Got quoted at BMW Sydney for a special at $350 but declined and decided to get it done for $160 Cash at Solar Tint Liverpool, install took 1 hr. No issues yet. Lifetime warranty.
