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 ;-) |

Would you really want to buy something from a company that thinks the Scottish Highlands are off-shore?

Clearly the drivers take this rule very seriously indeed. -- http://gallery120232.fotopic.net/p9632896.html (33 117 in the middle (yes, middle!) of a train at Weymouth Q in 1989) |

writes One frequently sees plates that are so filthy that no camera would pick up any image. The most common type of device (GATSO) makes an infra-red image as well as a photographic one. Neither dirt nor, I suspect, the reflective spray that is the subject of this thread, will prevent an infra-red image of the number plate being taken. -- Paul Terry |

Seems the product has the thumbs down then and doesnt work. From the other replies it seems its just not a viable product. Thanks for your replies. Interesting comments. regards Redtube |
