    Q: When I wear my polarized sunglasses, I can't see the HUD clearly sometimes.

    Answer:

    As the principle of physics we use on Carloudy is the reflection, and polarized sunglasses is designed to weaken the reflection, so this is normal when in some specific situations, such as you're facing strong sunlight and you're wearing the polarized sunglasses in low light environment.

     

     

    Q: In which section do you recommend to place the film on windshield for Carloudy reflection?

    Answer:

    After we had a fairly long time driving and testing, we find out that that the film is much better on a little bit left side of the driving way on the windshield.

    It means, in right (left) side driving countries and regions, you look at the windshield and your driving way ahead, find the split of the road end horizon, put the film lower than the road end horizon and a little bit left (right) of your driving way, we suggest not letting the film be in front of you driving way. As drivers are more sensitive to the front and right (left) side, the film will not affect view clarity if it's put to the left (right).
