Rain X 600001 Windscreen Repair Kit - white/clear

Product Information

Apply with a dry cloth and wipe the Rain-X Rain Repellent in a circular, overlapping motion; once you’ve allowed the product to dry, re-apply again and, once the final coat is dry, remove the final layer with a dry cloth or a sprinkling of water. These kits are like the Swiss Army knives of automotive care, using epoxy resin to fill, seal and stabilize those pesky chips 1 inch or less in diameter. But here’s the catch, timing is everything. The sooner you act, the better the results. The excess dried resin comes off in white flakes, which makes a bit of a mess. It took me about 5 minutes to do a thorough job here, as I didn’t want any leftover resin obstructing the view. Unfortunately I won’t be able to give my own experience as to the long-term longevity of the repair, as the whole windshield is being replaced under insurance this week.

However, I would imagine that for small repairs – and done correctly – the resin would last a long time. Through direct testing and research, we evaluate all windshield repair kits based on these weighted metrics: One thing to note is that the kit claims it is good for multiple repairs, and certainly there are enough curing sheets supplied. However, because of the way you have to cut the bottle top off to use it, I don’t think it is all that practical to re-use. Should You Buy This Kit?

As the resin cures it bonds with the glass and dries in a transparent fashion, meaning that you can see through it like normal glass. Keep your shower, windows and glass doors shining and clean with this incredible Rain-X Rain Repellent product. Therefore, it’s imperative for drivers to improve their visibility on the roads - and there’s no better way of doing so than with Rain-X Rain Repellent. From this point I followed the manufacturer's instruction for attaching the resin chamber, adding drops of resin into it and screwing in the plunger. I let this sit for about 10 minutes.

Would I say this is a pro-grade repair? Of course not. But considering the circumstances and what I needed it to do, I really was rather impressed. How Long Does The Repair Last? After the curing process (which I probably didn’t wait quite long enough for but I was in a hurry) you peel off the curing sheets and begin the strangely satisfying process of scraping off the excess dried resin with the included razor blade.. What is important to understand is that I did not buy the kit with a view that it would provide my car with a permanent repair. The windscreen specialist in Queenstown where I originally took the car made it abundantly clear that the windscreen will need full replacement, and I have already organised this with my insurance company as my car insurance offers excess-free glass cover. Please note I shot these images on my phone camera (a semi-recent Samsung Note) so the picture quality isn’t amazing. But hopefully it communicates the point for you well enough.However, I found the kit fairly easy to use. It comes with everything you need to conduct the repair on the side of the road – although I would appreciate the inclusion of some kind of cloth or alcohol wipe to clean the affected area first as this would presumably enhance the output of the repair. This recently happened to me on a trip to Queenstown, New Zealand (a town famous for its scenery and plethora of ‘adrenaline-junkie’ activities e.g. bungee jumping, skiing/snowboarding, canyon jetboating etc).
