This new product offers 18 point type stencils rather than the larger 24 point type stencils in our original glass etching kits. This product is directed towards protecting outside mirrors from theft which is a problem in some metro areas as well as etching your windows. This kit includes 2 stencils cut from commercial grade vinyl used for outside signs. We do not guarantee how many windows you can etch as it depends upon how careful you are removing the vinyl stencils. Numerous customers have reported etching all of their vehicle windows with one stencil. The kit includes the same amount of etch as our main 6 stencil kit. We offer this kit with a smaller stencil font due to complaints over the years that the 24 point font was too large. The type face does not offer any sizes between 24 and 18 Pt. Insurance companies and police departments all have statistics showing that VIN etching reduces car theft by as much as 65% to 97% (depending on the part of the country and on who did the survey). Regardless, it is affirmatively proven that VIN Etching drastically reduces the chances of having your car stolen. The same statistics also prove that cars actually stolen that have VIN Etching are recovered 60% to 85% more often and returned to their owners than non-VIN Etched cars. VIN Etching will save you from 3% to 17% on your auto insurance rates (depending on area of the country and other factors). No Vehicle with SecureVIN Has Ever Been Reported Stolen within the 14+ Years our products have been sold. Plus Lowest Cost on the Internet or in Stores. Kit Includes: 2 Custom Cut Stencils with your Vehicle's VIN number. Commercial grade self-adhesive vinyl allows the stencils to be re-used. 1 Container of Glass Etch plus a Brush & Eye Dropper for Application. Includes 2 popsicle sticks for etch recovery. Warning Decal. 2 sets of gloves. Magic sponge. 2 Alcohol wipes. Insurance Certificate.

Only TWO Stencils
I had used this product on my old vehicle about 6 years ago and I was very happy about it. That's why I ordered this product again on my brand new vehicle. From last time, I got like 8 stencils in one package. Now it only comes with 2 and I have to pay with shipping again. PThe point is it will take like 30 mins (with most of the time is waiting) to do 2 windows (with 2 stencils). I need to do at least 6 windows (front, rear, and 4 side windows). That is an hour and half. If I have extra stencils, I can do all of them at the same time as I did with my old vehicle.As it stated the stencils are expensive and can be reusable hoping the characters will not be separated, I would prefer the product comes with extra stencils. Or you can have options of how many stencils you can order from Amazon. I am considering to return the product.

Easy to use, high quality etching.
Really great quality etching. I was lucky enough to receive 3 stencils in my kit but I only needed to use one. I find that peeling off the stencil slowly will preserve its integrity. Everything I needed came in the box, even a paper clip to fix the stencils connecting pieces should they break. And the piece of candy, icing on the cake.Sadly I was not able to etch the side mirrors. The etching process was exactly how I did the windows, but when it came time to clean the mirror, the vin number came off with it. Maybe I have special mirrors, I don’t know. Because of that, it loses 1 star.Edit: I contacted the company and they informed me that it will not work on plastic. After digging around, i found out my side mirrors are in fact plastic. I am changing my review back to 5 stars as the product works exactly as advertised. Just make sure you're not using it on plastic!

One stencil perfect. Other stencil not so good.
The one made perfect letters. Unfortunately, the C and 2 lost their connection. Thus they ran together. Probably because it had adequate adhesive. The other was lacking adhesive. Thus the first 5 digits did not stick well, and the chemical ran under and made them fuzzy.

Great Product and Service!!
My local police department recommended VIN window etching when I went in to report my license plates being stolen. Apparently VIN etching can be enough of a dissuader to keep people from stealing your car. I bought this kit and was extremely satisfied with the outcome! The kit is crafted to your specific vin number, comes with step-by-step instructions, gloves, and all the tools you could possibly need to make sure you have a good outcome. There was also a nice note inside from the seller. The whole process took me maybe 25 minutes (20 of those was just waiting for the etching cream to sit on the window and do it's job). It was super easy, super safe and very satisfying at the end! It's a great gift for ANYBODY with a car and I think I'll do this for stocking stuffers at Christmas. Thank you Blue Planet Security! :)

EXCELLENT PRODUCT
EXCELLENT PRODUCT. VIN etching was new to me, so I was nervous about the process. But I needed it for a lower insurance rate and I wasn't willing to pay a professional to do it. This kit comes with everything that you need and simple instructions for you to follow. My VIN etching came out great. Would definitely recommend.
