Suffering from certain medical conditions can make it difficult to drive due to their sensitivity to light. Fortunately, Florida window tint laws have factored this in and allow those with exemptions the darkest legal window tints without penalty. 

This exemption is available for conditions such as:

• Vitiligo
• Xeroderma pigmentosum
• Dermatomyositis
• Lupus
• Albinism
• Other autoimmune diseases

If you have been wondering what the requirements are to obtain medical authorization for a special window tint in Florida, the first thing to do is check with your local Florida DMV office. They will be able to let you know if a certificate from an authorized physician is needed or if you will need to get an exemption sticker in order for the window tint statute to be met. 

Here is the application for the Florida sunscreening medical exemption.

When it comes to window tints, VLT refers to the amount of visible light that is able to pass through the film and into the vehicle. Generally speaking, the darker the tint, the lower the VLT. A very dark tint may have a VLT of 5% or less, while a very light tint may have a VLT of 50% or more. There are many benefits to having a low VLT, such as increased privacy and reduced glare. However, it is important to note that a low VLT can also make it more difficult to see out of the windows, which may be a safety concern. As such, it is important to choose an appropriate VLT for your needs.

Tinted windows are a popular way to reduce glare and heat inside a vehicle, but they can take a while to cure properly. Unrolled film can take up to 24 hours to dry, and then the curing process can take several days or even weeks. 

During this time, it's important to keep the windows clean and free of dirt and debris. The curing process is complete when the film is clear and free of bubbles. Once the film is fully cured, it will be significantly more durable and resistant to scratches and other damage. Tinted windows can make a big difference in terms of comfort and style, but it's important to be patient during the curing process.

Window tints are a great way to improve the look of your car and keep the sun out of your eyes, but they require special care to keep them looking their best. 

What You'll Need

To clean your tinted windows, you'll need mild soap, a soft cloth, and distilled water. You should avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the tint.

How to Clean

Start by mixing mild soap with distilled water in a spray bottle. Then, lightly mist your windows with the solution and use a soft cloth to wipe them down. Be sure to rinse the windows with distilled water after cleaning to remove any soap residue.

Tips for Cleaning

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when cleaning your tinted windows:

• Use a lint-free cloth to avoid leaving behind streaks or smears.
• Wash your windows on a cloudy day to prevent the sun from drying the cleaner before you have a chance to rinse it off.
• Avoid using cleaners that contain ammonia, as this can damage the tint.

Window tints can last for many years if they are properly cared for. In general, the darker the tint, the longer it will last. However, all window tints will eventually fade and need to be replaced. The lifespan of a window tint can be affected by many factors, including the type of film used, the quality of the installation, and how well the tint is cared for. With proper care, most window tints will last for several years before needing to be replaced.

At Tints R Us, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality window film that will stand the test of time. That's why we offer a lifetime warranty against bubbles, peels, and fading. 

However, our warranty does not cover scratches. While our film is tough and durable, it can be scratched if it comes into contact with a sharp object. If your window film becomes scratched, we recommend cleaning it with a soft cloth and mild soap. For more stubborn scratches, you may need to use a window cleaner or polishing compound. With proper care, your window film will continue to look great for years to come.
