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.
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
