Surprisingly good
I was a bit sceptical about how well a 10 quid window repair kit was going to be, and I was in two minds as to trying this or going through the insurance company for a repair - so I decided to try this rather than potentially ending up with a £200 excess if Autoglass couldn't repair the chip and had to replace the windscreen (£200 excess ffs! - Admiral BTW).I am very impressed with how well it worked and how easy it was to do; I ended up repairing three small old chips as well as the one I bought the kit to repair. My main chip was a 'bullseye' about the size of 5 pence piece, with fine radiating, tendril-like cracks about 5mm in length. The repair took less than 15 minutes and afterwards the damage is barely noticable; the cracks are gone and the only visible imperfection is a 1mm opaque spot.In summary:Easy to use.Quick.Cheap.Good results - to be fair, the damage to my windscreen occured four months ago and the kit does say best results are achieved if the repair is attemped immediately after the damage.Can be used more than once - you get 5 curing strips, but I cut them in half for my smaller chips.Will 100% buy this again (if I get more chips and the suff I've saved runs out).

Perfect for repairing small chips
This is a wonderful product for small windshield chips. Very easy to use with clear instructions, and it is very effective. Two negative aspects of this repair kit are that the resin is not perfectly transparent when it dries and it is not suitable for large cracks. Again, perfect for repairing small chips.

Does not work - a waste of time, effort and money!!
Followed the instructions to the letter. Started with a "star" on my windscreen and finished with a "star". Couldn't see any difference at all. Have used different products before which use a different method of delivery which have worked. Will now need to buy one of them. My recommendation - do not buy this product.

Not repaired, but improved
OK, so the instructions state to be used when chip first appears. Our chip is years old!In the kit you get:- Resin- Applicator resin chamber/repair device (yellow device with suckers)- Plastic curing strips x3- Razor blade- Microfibre mitYou will need it to be a sunny day (or have a UV drying device). I used our garden parasol to keep the windscreen in the shade whilst using the resin to put pressure on the chip and then took it down to allow the curing in direct sunlight.It was easy to follow the instructions and I did each step three times as our chip is old. It has improved, and hopefully means it won't get any worse but it did not repair it. Worth a go though for £10 as every chip will be different. Glad I tried.

Easy and effective
I had about a 9 inch crack appear at the top and in the middle of my windscreen. I contacted my insurance company who told me it would be 6 days before it could be replaced. After 24 hours the crack had spread and was now approximately 12 inch long. I need to use my vehicle daily and so after reading previous reviews I decided to give this product a whirl and was not disappointed. I followed the instructions and in a very short time the crack was repaired. The damage is hardly visible now and more importantly the crack has not spread any further.

Not for the faint hearted
So here we go. I purchased after reading some positive reviews. Always trying to save money where I can. So I have a small chip in my front screen and it has sort of slightly longer lines coming from the chip. Not too long and also it was a recent chip. I follow the instructions and put the suction cups to the screen and then slowly and carefully start to tighten the screw down onto the windscreen. I can see the tip and watch it carefully, this is a doddle, I start to think, "ooh the money and hassle I am saving is going through my mind". Then as the tip touches the windscreen to my shock 2 very large cracks appear about 7 inches away from the little chip. Here I am now from a small chip to a mess. The wife is saying from the house window "how's it going love" Oh lovely", I reply. If only she knew!! So I quickly fill the hole with the glue and then I run glue into the now long cracks, but when looking on the inside it is a mess. I have to admit defeat and I had to, in the end, pay for a brand new windscreen. Some of it on insurance. My moral to my tale is to leave these sort of things to those that do it for a job and have trained to do it. You might think you are saving, but in the end, it could cost you more than it is worth. Good luck if you go ahead and purchase. My intention here is not to say the product is not fit for purpose, just my story of using it.

When time is spent this product is fantastic!
To start off my dislikes of the product, I thought the instructions contained within the product were hard to understand and required a bit of thinking about what to do and how to do it. Also i thought the rubber seal was a bit small and to larger chips/cracks it would be difficult to seal.However, that is a small dislike into what i found to be an excellent product very easy to set up and with a bit of mechanical thinking was very easy to use, had a small crack on the passenger side of the car and when time is taken to prep and apply the product the results are solid, the crack is still there however but unless someone is told that there is one I don't think anyone will see it.overall would recommend this product to anyone!
