    Hey hussein, how was your night time headlight output? Diminished at all?

    I removed it from the front before I left. It came off easily with vinegar.

I was going to ask hussein to let me put some on my truck after we tested, but (and I'm not trying to speak for him but...) the results made us both decide we'd be better off without it, knowing the potential for damage to the lights, and how poor it appeared with only two layers.


    I will not say however that it is a 'definitive' test, or that conditions were perfect, or any of that. It was fairly fresh on the car and relatively cold outside. That may have affected it, among other things.

    I look forward to seeing other testers give it a go.
    This all begs the question then: I saw Bobs test back in the November introduction with RR AND IT " appeared" to work on the two C7s.
    Was there any testing before or after the introduction of the product to validate the claims that it works. VG, can you chime in here with your own test results??

    The good news is that vinegar appears to take it right off....

    Veil is a cool concept but if I put that stuff on my white license plate I'd likely be pulled over leaving my driveway.....
    I have an AB plate too. When I got the package in the mail the first thing I did was remove my plate and bring it inside to put a layer of Veil on. I had to wash it off before it got a chance to dry. Also, before someone recommends it, we aren't allowed to have a plate cover.

    Jag, that license plate looks terrible! Should be interesting to see what G5 does to the paint on a license plate. I'm fairly confident the G4 I put on is responsible for removing some of the blue paint on my license plates.

    Welp, it's a spare plate from my old truck, and I ended up rubbing what was left on the brush onto the plate, it'll sit in the garage for quite some time, we'll see.

    My buddy has a C7, but I doubt he would even consider letting me test G5 on it. I bet I couldn't duplicate RR's results.

    Veil V4 & V5 have the same results, don't waste your money.
    Buy an ALP system.
