Window Tinting Regulations in Virginia

Vehicles with tinted windows must comply with Virginia’s state regulations on tint darkness and tint reflectiveness. The law in our state measures tint darkness with a percentage of Visible Light Transmission (VLT). This percentage indicates how much natural light is allowed through the window film. For small vehicles (such as sedans), the front side windows must allow more than 50% VLT, while rear side windows and the back window must permit more than 35% VLT. Larger vehicles like SUVs, trucks, and vans have similar guidelines, requiring more than 50% VLT on the front side windows. What is different is the requirement for their rear side windows and back window. These areas can have any VLT level you would like.


Another factor in Virginia's window tinting laws is tint reflectiveness. The state regulates the amount of reflectiveness allowed in window tint to ensure safe visibility and prevent excessive glare. For both small and large vehicles, the front and rear side windows must not be more than 20% reflective. This level of reflectiveness allows for enhanced privacy and style without compromising the safety and visibility of your vehicle on the road. Shipwash offers legal shade options with our Tinting and Protectants, allowing you to drive confidently if you wish to stay within legal standards.

Frequently Asked Questions About Automotive Window Tinting

  • Can I drive my vehicle right after having the windows tinted?

    Yes. You can drive your vehicle right after installation, we just encourage you to leave your windows rolled up at first. The film gets applied to the interior of the windows, preventing them from being exposed to the environment. It is important to keep your windows rolled up for at least 3 to 5 days to ensure the tint cures effectively and maintains its quality. While it is tempting to check out your new look right away, allowing proper curing time will ensure the window tint adhesive sets correctly and lasts as long as possible without bubbles or peeling.

  • How do I care for my tinted windows?

    Caring for your tinted windows is simple but crucial to maintaining their appearance and functionality. We encourage our customers to use a soft microfiber cloth when washing their windows after having them tinted. We recommend an ammonia-free, tint-safe, aerosol glass cleaner for cleaning. Always avoid using abrasive rags, sharp tools, and especially harsh chemicals or cleaning agents as these all will undoubtedly damage the window film. By taking these easy maintenance steps, you can keep your window tint looking great and performing its best for years to come.

  • How can I be sure that my window tinting is legal?

    This is easy when booking with Shipwash’s Tinting and Protectants. Window tinting is generally legal in the state of Virginia. However, each state has its own regulations regarding the darkness and reflectivity of window tint that is allowed on different windows of your vehicle. Shipwash’s Tinting and Protectants are well-versed in the window tinting laws of Virginia, ensuring that we provide window tint options that comply with all state regulations.
