Tooldini, the question you ask has several answers. The varibles ie: dirt, soap film, water stain etc., all play a major part in any repair. If, you can get a stone shot that is less than 48hours old, never been rained on or washed chances are you can achieve a 95-98% clarity factor. The main thing to remember is unlike a bodyshop that repaints a fender, we strive for clarity and adhesion. We cannot cover up the damage to make it invisible like the bodyshop can. What constitutes a great repair is adhesion strength, clarity, and customer satisfaction. Its glass, its clear and you will always be able to see some scarring. The customer may not, but you will. I can only say this, do not be too critical on yourself. I have done some repairs that I was not happy with. But, ask the customer what they think, and they point to the wrong spot on the windshield, saying its great. Then I know, I was being to critical on myself, point out the actual repair and smile.. So.. yes.. you will always be able to see something, 4 months from now you may have to really look for it, because now its not looking right back at you and your mind isn't focused on it. But there will always be a scar..always.
