Veil G4
Hi guys,
I'd like to know if anyone has used this product... 1) How long does a coat last? (i.e. will it come off with your first wash) 2) How much does a coat affect the light from your headlights? Will you still be able to drive at night OK? Thank you. (P.S.: Don't really care for the laser intercepting properties, it looks like tint, so I would def. do it on my rear lights, and fronts as well if you could see through it OK. Price locally is steep, but paying $100 to try it doesn't seem to be that bad...) |

Gotcha, although I have read it does help, so it is a good investment if you have a jammer already. I have read that it does decrease light output a little bit, but I doubt it would be anything noticeable and definitely not a problem with xenons. As far as washing, it is supposed to be resistant to regular car washing, but keep in mind they recommend to reapply it every 4-6 months. I would probably not recommend using a product meant for stripping waxes/sealants though, maybe do the the veil everytime you do a full detail of your car, and just wash it and seal/wax it in between, but keep the lsp off the veil coating as I'm not sure how it would affect it.

veil guru :))
i do have veil and use the g4.
the best way is to prep your light good , if u do that it will be easy to apply. so if you lights are foggy or haze , than get them restore and after that veil ,if not just rub some plastx on it to prep the lights, a light buff it works too. clean good your lights with alchool let it dry and apply veil with airbrush , is the best method , do some practice on something to get use with. the best way is multiple light coats , let sit for 10-30 minutes between. if u do it on car , mask everything. just make sure u get even on both headlight or tail , it get`s darker quick if not familiar with airbrush , just keep it moving. on mine i add some clear coat on it same , with airbrush. if u add on headlights , u will see from side that is like an aluminum foil on it. once u get it done , carefull with deicer spray , windex , alcool too it removes veil. if u don``t run a plate and your car is darker veil helps , but your speed is still reading around 500 ft-800 ft , veil plus jammer is the way to go if u need laser protection. any Q just ask. be safe ,

For English being a second language you're doing very well. I originally asked because there are too many kids these days who post garbage that is barely coherent with their terrible grammar and punctuation.
