"Facts about auto glass" (Rock chip repair)
The windshield repair is meant as a structural repair rather than a cosmetic one. Consider any improvement in appearance a bonus. Most will look much better than before the repair, but due to dirt and debris that may have collected in the cracks and the nature of the resin used, it may still be visible. In general, the sooner the repair is done, the better the results will be because less dirt, debris and moisture will have settled in to the chip. Smaller rock chips will turn out better than larger ones, as well as those with shorter cracks radiating out.
If a rock hits your windshield, immediately cover it with clear tape to keep it clean and dry. Avoid extreme temperatures, temperature changes and car washes until you can get it repaired. These are all conditions that cause further spreading.
