What goes into a chip repair with Crack King?
Firstly, the damage needs to be accessed. Here is the simplified process:
This process usually takes less than an hour. Complex breaks can take longer, requiring multiple cycles of injection and heat to fully fill the break.
Two most important disclaimers all customers must understand and agree to before the work:
Not all chips are repairable
Sometimes the damage is too severe or large that it becomes more efficient to replace the windscreen. Every repair is a case by case.
Despite these factors, it's still worth doing the repair process first because it's cheaper and quicker than a windscreen replacement, and a chipped windscreen is running on borrowed time. It will eventually break. Maybe today, maybe next week...heat and vibrations will increase the odds and chipped glass is volatile. Also, the sooner the repair, the cleaner the result as exposed chips are vulnerable to debris and moisture.

- Clean and decontaminate the area
- Draw out any moisture
- Resin injection. In some cases, light drilling or heat may be necessary to maximise resin filling.
- Pit fill and curing the resin with controlled UV light.
- Polish the resin.
This process usually takes less than an hour. Complex breaks can take longer, requiring multiple cycles of injection and heat to fully fill the break.
Two most important disclaimers all customers must understand and agree to before the work:
- The chip will never be perfectly invisible. In most cases it will be a small blemish but structurally sound.
- The chip can break further in the process. This will result in a full refund.
