Will tinting affect my Smart Tag or RFID on a Proton S70?
It is a fair worry, and the answer is that both keep working. SmartTAG runs on infrared, which any heat-rejecting film partially blocks, so our installers leave a small untinted patch on the windscreen at the reader zone. Touch n Go RFID is UHF radio, so non-metallic films like MATRIX and MIRACLE let it through, while metallic films like MEGALUX, METALUX and MAGNETRON can weaken it, and for those the sticker goes on the headlamp. Standard setup, and your S70's toll reads stay normal.
Will tinting void my Proton S70 manufacturer warranty?
No. Window film is applied to glass and does not affect Proton's coverage of your engine, gearbox, turbo or electronics. Proton even runs its own tint centre at Tanjung Malim offering factory-fit film, which tells you tinting itself is no warranty issue. What manufacturers will not cover is careless installer damage, like scratched glass or water in the door switches, which is why our 8-step process includes door panel protection and a pre-inspection with you. The film itself carries 5 to 15 years of warranty depending on the series.
Which Quad Film package is best for a Proton S70?
For a daily-driven S70, our smart value pick is MAGNETRON at RM2,500, a hybrid of 12-layer sputtering and nano-ceramic with TSER up to 79% at VLT 5 and 99% IRR. If you want maximum rejection on a car this size, MEGALUX at RM4,600 reaches 85% TSER at VLT 5 with a 15-year warranty. On a tighter budget, MATRIX at RM1,400 still delivers 99% IRR and a 5-year warranty.
My Proton S70 Flagship has factory security tint. Tint over it or remove it?
The S70 Flagship's factory security film is genuinely decent on heat, with one owner measuring about 98% IRR on the four side windows. Its weakness is privacy, because the rear glass stays visibly light. Most owners keep the factory film and add a proper heat layer on top, which we meter first to confirm the numbers. Stripping is only worth it if the factory film is damaged or poorly applied. Executive and Premium variants ship untinted, so those start fresh.
Does Quad Film tint fade or turn purple on a Proton S70?
No. Purple fade and bubbling are the calling cards of cheap dyed film once the colour layer cooks under UV. Quad Film films get their performance from sputtered metal and nano-ceramic layers, so there is no dye to fail. Your S70 is covered 5 to 15 years depending on series, with torchlight QC on every window before handover.
How long does it take to install window tint on a Proton S70?
A full tint installation on your S70 typically takes about 2 to 5 hours. Actual timing varies with the number of glass panels, windscreen curvature, the film series chosen, whether old tint needs steaming off, and current workshop queue and manpower availability. A sedan like the S70 sits at the faster end of that range. We confirm your exact time slot when you book.
Does the Proton S70 Flagship X sunroof need tinting?
The Flagship X's small sunroof is tinted dark from the factory but reflects very little heat, so on afternoon drives you feel it overhead. A heat-rejecting film on the sunroof glass cuts that radiant heat noticeably. We offer Sunroof Tint as a standalone service, so you can add just the roof without redoing the rest of the car. Executive, Premium and Flagship variants have no sunroof, so nothing needed there.
How much does it cost to tint a Proton S70 in Malaysia?
A full car Quad Film tint for the Proton S70 starts at RM1,400 for MATRIX nano-ceramic and goes up to RM4,600 for the flagship MEGALUX. In between sit MIRACLE at RM2,000, MAGNETRON at RM2,500 and METALUX at RM3,200. The S70 is in the Standard bucket for sedans. All prices are full car, windscreen included, with a written warranty card.
Is dark tint on a Proton S70 safe for night driving?
Yes, as long as the film has high optical clarity. Cheap dyed films go hazy at night, and that haze is the real risk, not the darkness. If you drive at night often, METALUX is engineered for optical clarity and suits drivers with astigmatism, with 97% IRR and a 10-year warranty. A common S70 setup is VLT 70 in front and VLT 30 or VLT 20 at the rear.
What is the best VLT for a Proton S70 to pass JPJ and Puspakom?
Your S70's front glass measures about 73% VLT from the factory. JPJ requires 70% final VLT on the windscreen and 50% on the front side windows, so a VLT 70 film on the front sides lands around 51%, comfortably legal. The rear half of the S70 has no legal VLT limit, so you can go darker at the back freely. All five Quad Film series come in VLT 70 for a compliant front setup.
A note we share openly: on the windscreen, even a VLT 70 film combines with factory glass to read in the low 50s, so on paper no heat-rejecting film passes a strict JPJ meter test there. In day-to-day practice it reads visually clear at roadblocks, and most owners go ahead. If you want to be 100% safe on paper, we can leave the windscreen untinted or fit a virtually clear safety film, and we can meter your actual glass free first.
How do I clean the tinted windows on my Proton S70?
Keep the windows up and skip the car wash for the first week while the film cures. Then clean the S70's glass with a soft microfibre cloth and plain water or a mild ammonia-free cleaner, wiping in one direction. Keep abrasives, blades and ammonia sprays away from the edges.
