Why do the windows look "dirty" or smokey at times?

There is a phenomenon called "Refraction". It becomes evident when the sun is at a low angle and there is a dark background, when looking out. The moment the sun is higher in the sky, or no sun, the glass is clear to see through.I have seen it on clear glass and tinted glass. When using a conventional, metalised window film, refraction can happen.
How can you prevent or minimise this problem? We have found a high definition nano-ceramic film to do the trick. Ceramic film is perfect for this, although this film cannot be used on certain kinds of glass.

You can see the difference in the pictures to the right.

The top picture is with standard window film on sunny day.
We replaced the film with a ceramic film and the result is shown in the
second picture.
