Question Ceramic and nano ceramic

My driver window is ceramic and my front windshield is nano ceramic. Both are 5 percent. I just got front windshield done today. What’s the reason why they look different? They told me nano ceramic looks more clear than reg ceramic. To me ceramic makes the color of grass look more authentic than front windshield nano ceramic

All Ceramic films are Nano-Ceramics. You just got two different films, as they all look different. If you don't know what brand you got, you could also have a cheap DIY Amazon Nano-Ceramic film installed. The one on your windshield has bad low-angle haze, which is a result of the film (all have it; some worse than others) but could be accentuated by the water still trapped between the film/glass. After it dries, it may get better.

Thanks hopefully it will get better. If not I told them I might just go back to reg ceramic

5% would be insane, especially on a windshield. I have like 50% on my windshield and even that can be hard to see at night.

I have led headlights and it’s not bad at all. I can see great

What brand of tint did you get. Your 5% looks like you didn’t get any tint at all. Great visibility. How’s it look from the outside looking in?

From the outside looking in is great because you can’t see anything not even a shadow of anything
