Rain X 600001 Windscreen Repair Kit - white/clear

Product Information

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. The Rain-X Additive allows you to keep your windscreen clean, helping to remove bug residue, tree sap and road grime from your car.

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. Screw pressure driver into the resin chamber to drive the resin into the break. Tighten until the pressure is almost screwed all the way in. Make sure the rubber mouth has opened wide. Allow 4-6 minutes, depending on the extent of the damage. Apply heat on the windshield with a hot air gun. However, I would imagine that for small repairs – and done correctly – the resin would last a long time.The repair kit is also easy to apply. In less than an hour, your windshield will look good as new, as the resin blends well with the windshield. If you apply the Rain-X Windshield, you can have clean car windows without hassle. Aside from that, waxing car windows will be easy. Features – Rain X Windshield repair kit

I’m not sure of the scientific principles behind how the resin works, unfortunately. Is The Rain-X Windshield Repair Kit Easy To Use? The Crown Range road is notorious for challenging weather conditions in the winter, such as the time this Australian tourist managed to flip their car in a snow storm when heading off the road to fit snow chains: In the instructions, the manufacturer recommends you hold the blade at a 90 degree angle. However, I found this hard to scrape any excess off with, so instead worked the blade at approximately 45 degrees to the windshield, and used short, fast motions to scrape off the excess residue. Removing the resin residue with the included razor blade In tests conducted by an American University, better visibility improved drivers’ responses up to a full second or more - helping drivers make better decisions on the road. Worth a go at a diy repair considering how cheap this is. Appearance of chip improved a lot, didn't disapear but it got an old car through another mot. Watch the youtube videos first, they give a better idea than just the instruction sheet.

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 5L ready-to-use rain repellent applies water-beading technology every time the windscreen was is used on your car, aiding in providing better visibility alongside cleaning your windscreen. Yet again someone has copied a perfectly good idea and made it un-reliable by cheaping out on the materials used to make it. The result is that you won't know which kits to trust to do a good job and which will be the rubbish ones. Read full review

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? Keep your shower, windows and glass doors shining and clean with this incredible Rain-X Rain Repellent product.However, as a “stop-gap” measure I have been impressed so far by the performance of the Rain-X windshield repair kit. I honestly didn’t think it would work as well as it did, especially considering that I am not a particularly practical person (i.e. I didn’t do a great job at actually completing the repair process) and also that I applied it in a rush in a busy shopping mall carpark.
