    Got a small chip maybe 1/2" round... Gonna give this stuff a shot tomorrow... Will I be satisfied? Never tried this stuff before. For $10 it's worth a try...

    For small chips, I've had good luck sealing them with clear nail polish.

    I’ve got the same thing. Let Us know. I think a razor blade, immediately after it’s done might help. Had it done once, on a car. It worked. Could barely notice it. Epoxy injects into cracks, keeps it from spreading. Good Luck, I need to do mine, before it spreads from wind.

    I think you have to change your windshield anyway like once a year or two because of pitting ...

    Havent tried that brand, but used a different one that worked as long as you have direct sunlight on the windshield.

    I have used it before you still have a chip. it seals it up. I think it keeps it from getting any worse

    I noticed it on my Peterbilt atleast , you dont see it much daytime , only evening and nighttime when oncoming traffic turn lights up . Less pitting on aerodynamic trucks .

    Seems like every year or two somebody chucks a rock at me that'll crack the windshield, or put a 4 inch star spiderweb in it.
