Last year I made a "bull run" from PA to SW FL in less than 14 without incident doing just this.

    I remember that, I passed you on SB 75 in Florida.

    Back on topic, let's get this G5 tested some more before drawing ANY conclusions.

    Yeah. Expect to be doing another run with the month.

    Keep in mind as with the case with any version of Veil, whether it be G2, G4, or G5, apparent performance/effectiveness will ALWAYS be dependent upon the remaining areas of the vehicle that are NOT treated. G5 is "stronger" in its mechanisms than previous versions. However as with any stealth technology/material, your are as only as strong as your weakest link.

    For example, let's say you completely remove the headlights and the fog lights, etc from the reflective equation. If something else on the vehicle is being super reflective, then that element is going to contribute to your PTs. That's the reason why Veil will always show best on low(er) profile vehicles and/or darker colored ones than white or silver ones.

    I have also come to understand recently that certain headlight designs are particularly troublesome for jammers to overcome (regardless of brand/model) and in such an instance, Veil can go a very long way into mitigating that challenge to the jammer and allow it to do its job more efficiently.

    That's why I say it's very simple at the end of the day, a layered defense approach will always be the superior approach.

    I am sure at the next RALETC test there will be the usual test car:

    So it would be good to see how G5 does on everyday cars.

    I thought VG said he sent it out to you over a week ago.

    Yeah well I'm sure you can read between the lines there. Don't worry whether he wants me to test it or not it will be tested.

    Hey! Good to see you. I was getting worried about ya. Haven't seen you around in a few days. I sent you an email last night checking in on ya. Glad to see you're still alive!

    And yes, I can read between the lines. It's so painfully obvious. However, intel says there will be a test coming from you very soon.
