Why the hell would you buy spray on mud to obscure your number plate?
I take my vehicle out bush and do the same job with REAL mud,
and the good thing is, it doesn't need to be deep mud to bury a Suzuki 
Sierra Number Plate in it.

It works even better if the number plate has one of those plastic frames 
with clear perspex front,
the mud gets in, but doesn't wash out too easily, so still works even after 
the once-a-decade wash it gets.

The downside is - you can't go fast enough in a Suzuki Sierra to worry about 
speed cameras (well maybe in a 40km/h zone, downhill, with a tailwind)
