So does anyone have any experience with this product? or similar
kind of thing.


Actually I just found a UK link to same product: 25 quid Is it
money worth spent or not?
Also I presume is illegal if they catch you having sprayed youir
plates with it??

Did you read the Sale Conditions?

"2. The product is for off road use only and is of novelty value only.
It may be illegal to use this product on the road.
...
7. It is illegal to tamper or interfere with your vehicle number plate."


I remember at the Birmingham Motor Show a few years ago there was a stand
selling a modified number plate that was designed to prevent celebrities'
number plates from recording on paparazzis' photos. This was round about the
time that speed cameras were being introduced so I asked the salesman about
the legality of this plate. He looked very sheepish, which was sufficient
answer ;-)
