Default Ceramic tint question

I'm researching tint options for my car and am considering ceramic tint. We have it on the wife's Audi and I've always liked it but I read a reference on a website that said they generally do not recommend ceramic tint on steeply angled glass because of the possibility of reflections blocking your ability to see out.

Has anyone with ceramic tint on their cars experienced this? Have you experience any problems related to the tint?

Thanks,
Mike

I have the Xpel (Prime XR) on mine, I don't have any issues that blocks my ability to see out.
