As Seen on TV Windshield Wonder Car Glass Cleaners (Set of 2 ) Review

As Seen on TV Windshield Wonder Car Glass CleanersThis is a wonderful window cleaner that works exceptionally well on those hard to reach front and rear windshields. In fact it works great on all glass. They say this cleans by just using water maybe it does, but I use a vinegar mix and it works great. A nice feature is that it comes apart to store in your glove compartment. Where has this been all my life, it makes cleaning windshields and all auto glass so much easier. I would highly recommend this product.

You can get it for less on Amazon if you look around. You can also get single Windshield Wonder Glass Cleaners in Wal-Mart, Target and most of your drug chains such as Wallgreens or CVS.

Loctite - Windshield Repair One-Component System, .17 fl. oz. syringe (37613) Review

Loctite - Windshield Repair One-Component System, .17 fl. oz. syringeFirst time I've tried a product of this type and I was impressed. I know the Loctite name and that's why I took a chance with the product. It's easy to use, a little messy when you remove the adhesive disc but not bad. Only recommendation I would make to Loctite is to make the hole in the adhesive disc about 1/16" larger in diameter. The amount of fluid in the syringe is adequate to repair larger bullseyes.
I'm ordering 2 more kits.

Permatex 81730 Flowable Silicone Windshield & Glass Sealer Review

Permatex 81730 Flowable Silicone Windshield & Glass SealerThis vendor did it good job to cater to my needs. The silicon based glue was good, it did it's job very well. Though, try to use it where there is not a lot of wind. I did mine's on a windy day, and it was pretty messy. Make sure you have cleanwipes or a damp towel around to do immediate cleanup at unwanted areas.

Fix-A-Flat - Fix-A-Windshield, Do-It-Yourself Windshield Repair Kit (161890) Review

Fix-A-Flat - Fix-A-Windshield, Do-It-Yourself Windshield Repair KitI concur with the other reviewers that one should read the instructions well before attempting the repair.

I used the repair kit to repair one 1.5 inch diameter star-burst and two small nick/chips - one of which was in driving view.

I ensured the car was in the shade and cleaned out the crushed glass out of the rock impact area with the included blade. I cleaned the repair area with soap water and a glass cleaner till it was squeaky clean.

I secured the repair assembly, with the 4 (good quality!) suction cups, to the windshield centering the housing over the rock impact area. I screwed in the resin delivery tube into the housing till it's rubber tip was flush with the windshield and centered to the damage area. I then added a few drops of resin (is same consistency as 3-in-1 oil) into the delivery tube and finally inserted the pressure tube which forces the resin into the crack by opening the rubber tip. I let it cure for about 10 minutes after which I placed a drop of resin on the center of the crack and placed the clear plastic sheet on it and put the windshield in direct sunlight - waited another 10 minutes and removed the plastic sheet. I scraped the excess resin with the blade.

I was very happy with the results - the damaged area, filled in with the resin, was see-through, not smoky like I have seen other windshield repairs. The cracks filled to the extent that the crack was accessible. The resin could not repair a "fracture" as there is no way for the resin to reach in between the fracture. The resin did obliterate the crack lines where it did reach.

The end result is that the star-burst is still there but less visible, both the nicks/chips are reduced significantly (90%+) and I can make them out only because I know where they are. The one in my driving view looks like a small pit instead of a chip. The only thing I am waiting for, this winter, is to see if the resin holds up to the heating/cooling.

It took me about 1 hour to repair all three areas.

The product is designed thoughtfully and is effective. The quality of materials is good. The really great thing about this product is the fact that the resin cleaned off with soap/water and did not harden on the skin. I could clean out the delivery and pressure tubes which means that they can be re-used......there is enough resin/plastic sheets left to repair a few more cracks.

DON'T use more that a few drops of resin...a little goes a long way!

I gave one-less star for false advertising. The company surely knows that fractures in glass cannot be repaired and should not advertise an "after" photo which shows a windshield with no hint of having been damaged.

Permatex 16067 Bullseye Windshield Repair Kit Review

Permatex 16067 Bullseye Windshield Repair KitThis kit does not work. The resin does not penetrate into cracks or nicks. The resin will come out of the sides and get all over the windshield. It seeps under the adhesive but doesn't go into the crack. There is insufficient resin- and it all winds up everywhere but inside of repair. I followed the instructions to the letter- this kit does not work. You can't get a seal over the repair with the tools provided and the resin does not penetrate into the damaged area, it all comes out the sides because there is no seal. In order for this to work, you would need to have a good seal over the ding or crack, and the materials in this kit do not provide that. You'd probably need to be able to open the crack as well- nothing in the kit allows you to do that. Don't buy this kit, I tried it twice, I followed the instructions, and have a pretty good understanding as to exactly why this product does not work.
