Tinting with ceramic film llumar ctx

I just had my TL tinted with Llumar CTX 15 - dyed/ceramic film (all windows but windshield). The car looked amazing when I picked it up - no blue color, looked very charcoal black.

I drove my car today in the day light and noticed really bad reflections inside the car - like I can see my arms, the watch on my wrist and dashboard reflected in the front driver's window and a front passenger's seat in the front passenger's window. A few times I even lost a sight of my side mirrors.

It got slightly better when the sun was up around 1pm. I did a lot of research and do not think someone complained on forums about that effect. I know that this is expected on a cheap metalized films but I did not expect that on a high grade ceramic film like Llumar CTX.

Anyone had similar experience with ceramic films?

Thanks!

I have a llumar ceramic on my old 7 and I have never noticed anything like that. It is normal black (f1 pinnacle) tint though.

Reflections are normal especially when you go dark. You'll get used to it.
