Genesis GV70 Window Tinting Upgrade
Considering a window tinting re-application for your Genesis GV70 electric vehicle in the Daejeon area? Many owners find that their initial, lower-cost tint doesn't provide adequate heat rejection, impacting driving comfort. This review details a case where a Genesis GV70 received a re-application of BlacKFordy Viva film, known for its semi-reflective appearance and excellent thermal performance, offering a satisfying upgrade at a reasonable price.
Why Choose BlacKFordy Viva Window Film
The Genesis GV70, especially when purchased used with existing basic tint, can benefit significantly from a high-performance window film. BlacKFordy Viva film, manufactured using a semiconductor production process, offers a distinct semi-reflective aesthetic that enhances the vehicle's luxury appeal, similar to tints favored by luxury import car owners. Its standout feature is a high TSER (Total Solar Energy Rejected) rating, reaching up to 71% due to its sputtering construction. This dramatically reduces interior heat buildup, creating a more comfortable cabin environment, particularly during hot weather. Furthermore, the film's brown-toned base provides excellent clarity and reduces eye strain during long drives, improving overall visibility and comfort.
Professional Window Tinting Re-application Process
The process begins with the meticulous removal of the old window film. In most cases, this service is provided complimentary, though heavily degraded films might incur a small additional charge. Following removal, the glass surface is thoroughly cleaned to eliminate any adhesive residue or debris. This preparation is crucial for ensuring a flawless application of the new window film. While achieving a completely dust-free environment is challenging, our shop prioritizes a clean workspace to maximize the quality of the final installation.
Installation Process:
- Careful removal of existing window film.
- Thorough cleaning of glass surfaces to remove adhesive and debris.
- Precise cutting and application of the new BlacKFordy Viva window film.
- Final inspection and finishing touches.
