Got 70% Expel Prime XR Plus on my windshield last week. I asked first about dash protection and was given assurance. I also asked about the effect on the HUD. I can tell you that it has enhanced the view for me. I was concerned because my polarized sunglasses made my ATS HUD hard to even see at it's brightest setting. I don't even need the brightest setting with my sunglasses now and I have not noticed any degradation of clarity.
PPF, they've now jumped into the tinting game
Yea, I really just heard that certain stuff prevents rock chips. I've had rock chips in 2 of the last 3 cars and it is annoying. I'd put something on there for that alone.Modern laminated windshields already block nearly all UV light.
IMO tinting the windhsield (beyond a clear heat-rejection film) to reduce light is a terrible idea, unless you have some sort of extreme eye condition. Just wear sunglasses. You know, the kind that you can take off at night.
What I got was a normal window tint.
Huh, don't know about this. Interesting.
A family friend had a rock chip that developed into a large crack. Started from driver side and reached the left edge of the windshield. I said what the hell, let's give it a shot. I had him very lightly push up from inside to expose the crack a little bit more so the liquid would reach all the way inside. It's been 4 months now and the crack has completely stopped since then. A little unsightly, but it's done it's job. The key is to repair the chip/crack soon after it happens so it doesn't become a larger problem.
