Radiant Labs Releases Test Results of Its Police Radar Absorbing Car Wax
SCHAUMBURG, Ill., June 22 Radiant Labs (Schaumburg, Ill.)
has released the test results of its newest product, Stealth Guard Advanced
Radar Absorbing Car Polish. The product claims to perform as well or better
as leading car waxes in water beading and shine, but also reduces the
effective range of most police radar. According to insiders, it is the only
legal and effective use of stealth technology for the consumer market. The
product was exhaustively tested in a three-day event by representatives of
Speed Measurement Laboratories (Fort Worth, Texas / http://www.speedlabs.com). SML
is published nationally and internationally and is the recognized authority in
the field of highway safety, police radar transmitters and detectors. The
event was video recorded and witnessed by representatives of most of the
police radar manufacturers and radar detectors tested.
Stealth Guard Car Wax beat all expectations by reducing effective range of
the leading X, K and Ka band police radars by 11 percent to 13 percent,
validating the company's claims. The product also reduced the effectiveness
of police laser guns when applied to the front license plate.
Company president, Mike Sparks explains, "Stealth Guard Car Wax acts like
sunscreen to police radar." The firm has patented the embedding of
microscopic radar absorbing material (RAM) into wax and polymer based coatings
for land vehicles, naval vessels and aircraft. "Specifically, with the
evolution of more effective radar absorbing material, we can be effective
despite a very thin coating," claims Sparks. When used with an effective
radar detector the product should allow more time to break to safe speeds.
V.P. Sales & Marketing Phil Alkhoury concluded, "We had already proven
that Stealth Guard beats the competition in water-bead and shine. Now, we are
banking on the idea that given the choice of two comparable car waxes,
consumers will pay for one with stealth properties." The company, which has
up to now manufactured only military and commercial aviation products, is
attempting to make a successful entry into the consumer market with Stealth
Guard. Asked how Stealth Guard sales are going, Alkhoury replied, "We are
getting substantial interest from retail and distribution sources and our
e-commerce site is being upgraded to handle the flood of direct sales."
The test methodology was carefully executed by SML representatives near
White Sands, New Mexico. First, the target vehicle (a white Chevy Lumina) was
subjected to X band (10.525 GHz), K band (24.150 GHz) and Ka band (33.4-36GHz)
to determine the target acquisition range. Radar guns used were MPH K-15 (X-
band), Kustom Falcon (K band), and Stalker ATR (Ka band at 34.7 GHz). These
are standard issue police radar guns and were operated by Texas police
officers, responsible for training other officers in their use. Target range
at the moment of detection was established with a 904 nanometer, infrared
"laser" police gun model Stalker LZ1. After target range was established with
each radar gun, the product Stealth Guard was applied to the vehicle and the
target range was determined again using the same radar guns. Weather
conditions were consistent at 30 percent humidity and 55 F. The resulting 11
percent to 13 percent reduction in detection ranges were re-tested and
verified amidst much excitement. The official test results are now posted on
the manufacturer's web site http://www.radiantlabs.com .
