just treated my plates with safeplate spray. unlike
some of the early american import sprays, this one is
guaranteed to work. has anyone applied it and been
nicked?

Just out of interest have you tried it with a standard flash camera? if so what was the outcome.

set your digital camera up at a similar angle and distance to a Gatso and flash away!! then post the results up please!

The right coating should work, by reflecting so much light back your whole number plate should be white!

You'll need to be a bit closer than the GATSO unless you have a digi SLR with an external flash. The flash from a GATSO is very intense.

Try it with somebody's headlamps on the plate - if its very bright, chances are you'll get pulled by the police, and done.

Good point. What is the guarantee?!

To be honest, I think that I am more likely to get caught by an unmarked car or a scamera van. Gatso's are so easy to spot these days that you would have to be fairly unlucky to get caught by one (IMHO).

Mobile vans are usually video cameras (no flash), so this won't work at all, unless the plates cannot be read anyhow.

That was my point. I would not have thought it works with Scamera vans, the specs stuff, or unmarked cars, as they do not use a flash... and these are the most dangerous to most of us because they are never in the same place.

You still have to watch out for hidden gatso's on motorway bridges though so it's worth a try imo.

Sorry if these sprays do work, but I am still sceptical and would have to witness it to believe it. I cannot see how something that is visible to the eye can be invisible to a camera under all lighting conditions?

you can buy GPS based speedcamera detectors now for 70 quid. This spray crap probably cost 20 or so..

1) the detector is legal, the spray is not
2) the detector works 100% of time

unless of course the intention is to not slow down for the cameras.... but that seems a bit dumb.

personally I swear by my detector and backup tomtom+cameras for the gatsos, and I can use my eyes to detect the mobile vans/specs/police cars/plain cars with folk in white shirts, etc, etc.

the guarentee would be a nice crimal offece of perverting to course of justice, an maybe a nice little break at an HRH hotel for a month or so I would say...

according to the blurb, it wont work with a normal camera flash as they are only about 20 wats, a speed camera is 300 wats. the spray seems to have some sort of crystals in it that cause the picture to be over exposed. when i was talking to the guys selling it at the bromley car show, the feds were asking them if their product was legal. the two plods didnt seem happy. i also use a detector but anything that helps look after your licence has got to be worth a go.
it was £23 and ive treated the cerb plate and the bike plates with half a tin left. needs doing every six months. their site is safeplate.net
