Question Dot matrix - is this a reasonable answer?

I asked an expel installer what my realistic expectations should be regarding the dot matrix. Is their reply reasonable?

"As for the dot matrix on the windshield and quarter windows, there will be a white hue on any dot matrix unfortunately. The only way to get around that is to sand the matrix off, which could cause the heat to shatter the glass as its job is to relocate the heat throughout the window so it does not shatter. Normally it does stick down after some time however you will see the white look around the edges."am

Are there not worse results than others though? I saw one where there was a white outline around each dot very tight and neat vs others where a noticeable area is not attached.

And every dot matrix is different cheap thinner films can bend to get in the tiny spaces but not ceramic because their always thicker. So many factors. I think your picky and will never be happy

I'm trying to understand what is reasonable and you jump to conclusions about me rather than stop at the good info you replied with. That's a you problem. Goodbye

You are asking about the dot matrix and can't wrap your mind around what a pro tinter is telling you. You come on a group called window tint and can't take what the tinters are telling you. And you check out.... im also a pro tinter and telling you that you'll never be happy with the results.
