Ok so it happened. A rock flew up thrown by some idiot in a VW who did a last second dive to an exit from the 401 in front of me crossing over the gravel that seems to be a product of our never ending construction.

The car is a '22 boxster, 6000km

It was one stone, but it left 4 marks. People on forums talk about pinhead marks, but all the respondents talk about bullseyes and cracks. I know that pinhead marks will not turn into a crack, but are unsightly. In the sunshine, you can see these white marks from 10 meters.

I've cleaned the spots and polished, but they still show as white marks. I've got a couple of ideas that I can try out on another car. These are clear lacquer, crazy glue, or perhaps black or grey lacquer. Perhaps a bit of resin? I tried clear lacquer but it made no difference

I'm guessing the white is the disrupted crystalline structure of the glass.

Anyone out there tried something that works?

Sorry to hear. This is exactly the reason I have STEK windshield PPF on my car

A suction cup resin treatment at a glass shop will fill those in. Pay the $25 deductible and your insurance will be happy to pay the balance

I think what you are referring to are bulls eyes, etc.

These are tiny imperfections that didn't show up on photographs.

You are right tho, I should go to a glass shop and see what they have to say.

vetfever

Worth a try I would think.

my insurance covers this repair with no deductible.

+1. Finding anyone that does quality glass work is a total nightmare!

OT: Do you notice any distortion from the windshield PPF when wearing sunglasses.. more specifically polarized sunglasses?

lowbee

Yes but it is very very minor. It is not noticeable if I don't look for it and it is in a very small section like a 1x2 inches spot

Finally was able to make a picture. The flash caused it to really reflect. The pic makes it look worse than it is. The 4 spots would fit into a square of dimensions 1 cm.

There is a resin I'm going to try to get from an outfit call GlasWeld. It's a bit pricy and there are many variations, so I'm going to first see if a glass shop has it. The other spots are just dust

Turbodan

it may also be able to be polished out but may distort the vision.

Thank you!

Might it be called DYNOflex from STEK?

How long have you had it and how does it stand up to wiper swipes over time?

reacp911

couldn't find on amazon, but I like the UV cure, like dentists use

lowbee

Yes, STEK dynoflex. Had it for 2 years, no wiper mark and still looking like new
