Miami is officially called the City of Miami, an American city located at the center of Miami-Dade County. Better known by those who live there as the magic city, Miami is a metropolis and the cultural, economic, and financial center of South Florida. Unlike other metro areas throughout the country, Miami is not a tiny place and covers more than 56 square miles from the Everglades to the west and Biscayne Bay to the east.

However, when you say, I am going to Miami, everyone knows that you are going to the unique destination in Florida just because there is no other place like it! However, more places and cities are named “Miami” than you may think or be aware of. For example, some towns and townships are named Miami in Ohio, New York, Missouri, California, Oklahoma, Arizona, and Texas. This does not include international places like Miami, Manitoba, Canada, and Miami, Queensland, Australia. Regardless of which Miami city you live in, everyone is inspired to come to the Magic City, for one reason and one reason only: the “SUN.” With about 5 to 10 days a year of temperatures below 70 degrees, there is no doubt that Miami is sunny!

Perhaps that is why window tinting is so popular with those who live there. Different from many, if not all, of the other cities named Miami, in Miami, FL, window tinting is not an option but almost a requirement. It is pretty standard for residents to have not only tinted windows in their homes but also in their vehicles.

Like many other states, Florida has laws in the book regulating how dark and where window tinting is applied. The Florida window tinting law calls for Non-reflective tint to be allowed above the manufacturer’s AS-1 line on the windshield. The front side windows should allow more than 28% of light. At the same time, as little as 15% is permitted for the back and rear windows. This is something that is rarely enforced unless your tints are so dark that you can’t tell if there is someone inside the vehicle or not. The most popular shade of car window tinting in South Florida is 20%. There is a huge misconception about how dark your tints should be in the marketplace. Many believe darker tints perform better, but that is not true. Unless you seek privacy, 5% tints, or “limo tints” as they are more commonly referred to, is not your best choice if you want to prospect and maintain your car cool. If you don’t believe us, look at some high-performance window tinting films used in residential and commercial applications. On average, many homes and businesses are tinted with a metallic window film that allows 35% of light to pass through. This looks like what Mercedes Bends and other luxury vehicles bring from the factory on the rear windows. As we said before, unless you seek privacy, the objective of installing aftermarket window tinting on your car is to keep it cool and protect its interior from the sun’s harmful UV rays. If this is what you are trying to achieve, a 35% film with a ceramic or metallic composition will yield much better performance than dark window tints, especially limo tints.
