    Default How long does it last?

    Hey guys,
    I've been doing a lot of reading lately and i have a few questions.

    How long does one coat of Veil Last?
    How does rain affect the life of the coat?



    Side Question - Theres all this stuff about laser deflection and shifting but I really dont get hit with laser that much. 19/20 times my passport8500x50 goes off its K or KA band. Is there anything to reduce the range of radar? or produce JTG's to those guns?

    If applied properly and allowed to dry properly, Veil can last a long time. I had a coat on my Saturn for over a year and never needed to reapply.

    I have a thinned coat on my Audi headlights and it's holding up well too. Veil is tough stuff once it dries. As long as it doesn't rain ammonia or rubbing alcohol you should be fine.
    If I'm passing you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    If speed kills, how come I'm still alive?

    kpatz -

    Have you run in to the lens-staining issue with having VEIL on for so long?

    So far, I've only read one report of it here, but I just wanted a bit more reassurance/data from others who've used it for extended periods.

    Thanks!

    At one point in time on my previous car I had Veil on it for about over a year (Veil to help my ZR3 I used to use) and it was still going strong. After a year Veil was as effective at absorbing lidar and making my headlights look dirty as it was when it was new.

    Veil does a great job at making your car look dirty. I find it looks like my 4 year old nephew took a sharpie and went to town on my head lights.
