Tis the season for stone chips on windscreens. After having my windscreen replaced last year for a chip, got another one the other day. Not wanting to pay excess on insurance or £175 for a windscreen , I found this. Got good reviews on Amazon and Halfords for small chips. Cheapest I can find ,few quid more on amazon, and ebay there is a few pounds P&P. Off to halfords tomorrow to pick one up. May help someone else out in the same situation

Yes but he always wants to inject his special resin the perv
Free if you go through insurance, I have already been once in 12 months, not paying an excess if I can do it myself for under an tenner

£175 excess for a windscreen claim. WTF. What robbing insurance company are you with? Never heard of more than £75.

Did not say it was excess, said it was price for a replacement for my car. Some people dont have windscreen cover so this is the price for a wibndscreen

most smart repair people do it professionally, curing with uv light for £10 to £15

I've used Auto glass before through insurance which was free and very good, however its worth considering that when you then re-apply for insurance you're supposed to mention that you've had it done which increases your quotes... few things are really free.

Instead of using the razer blade at the end, could you not use steel wool instead? surely you will scratch it badly with the razer at some point?

Most insurers charge between £10 and £25 for stone chip repairs these days anyway.
