A: Due to the nature of automotive glass, it is almost impossible to make a rock chip or crack completely disappear. In most cases, your visibility will improve significantly after windshield repair, but overall clarity of your repair depends on the size and/or length of the damage, the age of the damage, the amount of glass that is missing from the damage and the quantity of fragmented glass inside of the damage. Also, the car wash chemicals used today will keep us from being able to repair your glass. You must avoid washing or cleaning the glass in any way. If you do so, we will not be able to regain optical clarity.
