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....
