Curious as to what make of film you used - I have Stek's latest product and it is near perfect re calrity/visibilty BUT I too had a wavy pattern on the first install attempt that albeit somewhat subtle, was still unacceptable to me (would drive me nuts after a while) - so went straight back to the installer (my local custom shop) and they saw the waviness and immediately removed and performed a re-application with their top/most experienced guy - night and day result - not even comparable, so suspect with yours and other dodgy install results here it may well be down to the expertise and experience of the installer.I honestly don't know - I didn't ask.
I do think I am both overly sensitive to changes in my view, and impatient.
It is possible that more time would have smoothed it out, but I'm really not sure - when I removed the film it was very thick and very rigid. It seemed like it wasn't changing at all no matter how much time and sunlight it got.
I'll probably regret removing it when I get my first rock chip
I went into it as an experiment, reasoning I could remove it if I was unhappy with alterations to the view, so I've got no bad feelings about any of it.
The Taycan's windshield is enormous and very curved so getting it planted just right is no mean task. I've had mine for months now and has held up perfectly but also has worked very effectively as I have had at least 4 hits since summer that I am entirely confident would have seriously pitted but more probably would have cracked the windshield.
