Post tint care?

I got 35% tint all around last week. (it looks sweeeeet!) They told me to leave it out in the sun - however we had no sun for about four days. My question is, how long should I try to leave it in the sun? Just a few days or for longer? Does it matter that the first four days it saw no sun? Can I wash the inside of the windows?
Thanks

Yeah, the professionals at my place said just keep all windows and sunroof closed for 5 days, no car washes because the temp of the water might effect the tint and absolutely no ac/defog. Other then that you should be fine after the 5th day

It should be fine now to put it in the garage, but I would leave the windows up for the first couple os weeks and the same with cleaning them.

Use only a window cleaner that is for tinted windows.
Do not use any cleaner that contains ammonia on them.

Enjoy your tints
