I have heard of paint you can apply to the top of your Van or Motorhone to reflect the suns heat and keep the inside a bit cooler.
Has anyone used it?
Does it work?
Where can you get it from.

It's a shame they haven't actually done this test and posted the results on their website.
"about 1000% better" ???? - It's starting to sound like Electronic Rust Protection claims.

Being the sceptic I am, I would like to see results from an independent test.
Not saying it can't work, but the claims seem to be extraordinary.

The website shows test results from half a dozen labs - NOT ONE OF THESE TESTS RELATES TO ITS ABILITY TO COOL ANYTHING !
