Glass Chips

Having your windshield repaired as soon as possible after the damage occurs greatly improves the appearance of the repair. The longer you wait the more dirt and moisture will be introduced to the damaged area. Waiting also allows the damage to expand or spread.

  1. The first step is to clear any dirt or glass debris from the pit area and remove any moisture from the damage.
  2. Then we introduce resin to the damaged area.
  3. The resin is forced into the damage and air out using an alternating pressure/vacuum method.
  4. The resin is UV activated and will bond the glass back together.
  5. After this resin has cured we will then use resin to build up the pit area smooth with the glass and polish it.
  6. This process usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes including cure time.
