Rain-X 26150 Reparatieset voor voorruiten, scheuren en glasreparaties

***The kit I received was supplied with full English instructions. I suspect previous reviews had an older packaging without this.***I’ll preface this review by stating I’m an ex windscreen repairer with 10 years’ experience in the employ of a well-known vehicle glazing company. I’m sure you can guess which one *cue annoying ad jingle*.I mention this to give context to the fact that I have a lot of comparison basis in regards to equipment, usage, results and expectations.Firstly, the concept and application is more or less identical, bar the Rain X kit not having active, external vacuum; it creates its own vacuum due to the plunger assembly. Aside from that, the procedure is the same:- Clear the surface of debris/glass fragments- Position resin port directly over the impact point- Apply resin- Apply plunger/vacuum- Wait for air voids to fill- Cover surface with resin & patch- Wait for full cure (external UV light, if available, would work wonders)- Scrape away excess cured resin- Refill surface if necessary and repeat curing stage (not always necessary)When I first saw these kits hit the market as a windscreen technician, I swiftly disregarded them as inadequate and a cheap mock-up from companies that couldn’t compete with the big players who have design patents and entire R&D departments dedicated to producing equipment for this purpose.After using this kit for the first time, I’m happy to report that I was mostly wrong.The resin filled the chip’s voids and cracks just as well as I would’ve expected my previous “professional” level equipment to do. Over the course of doing 10+ repairs per day, 6 days per week for 10 years, you get a feel for these things. In fact, the repair was so much simpler and accessible for the average car owner due to not needing any external vacuum compressors, airlines or power supply.Cosmetically, you can barely see the chip now and it was indeed very visible beforehand with multiple “legs” radiating from the impact point, full of air and very dark from certain angles. Now, you’d be hard-pressed to spot it if you didn’t know where it was. And we’re over one month in with no sign of degradation or cracks spreading so I’m confident the repair will hold. My only regret? In my enthusiasm to get the job done, I forgot to take before & after pics 🤦‍♂️Finally, an important tip for those looking to DIY your windscreen repair: if the chip has been recently exposed to water/rain, wait until it’s completely evaporated from inside the chip before attempting repair. Bare this in mind before you wash your screen in an attempt to clean the glass beforehand - this is actually counterproductive. The reason for this is water will dilute the resin, prevent it from filling and displacing air in the break, and also prevent the resin from curing properly. You can tell if it’s full of water by a translucent, faintly milky appearance, whereas a dry chip will appear darker with more pronounced air voids. If in doubt, leaving it in the sun for a day if possible should do the trick. You can accelerate drying by using a hairdryer on gentle heat, but BE CAREFUL with this, especially in cold weather as thermal shock is one of the best ways to send your chip into a full crack. Also, don’t apply pressure to the chip or attempt the repair if the glass is hot, for the same reason.In summary, this kit works, is great value for what it can achieve, will repair multiple chips (and cracks, according to the instructions), and is more or less as good as a professional repair if you prepare correctly, as with any job.Hope that helps.

Se cercate miracoli andare da un altra parte. Il prodotto per qualità prezzo e ottimo avevo una bella botta con un occhio di bue sul parabrezza anteriore lato conducente quindi carglass non lo sistema perché sul bordo o lato conducente non vengono fatte le aggiustature del vetro. Avrei dovuto cambiare tutto il parabrezza e non avevo la polizza cristalli. Quindi ho deciso di provare questo prodotto fortunatamente mi sono attivato subito quindi non erano partite crepe sul vetro ho seguito un tutorial su YouTube e sono riuscito a chiudere la scheggiatura. Ora a occhio nudo non si vede nulla, se uno sa dove era la botta e ci guarda attentamente qualcosina si vede ma leggerissimo. Inoltre l’importante è aver sigillato tutto ed aver evitato il propagarsi delle crepe.Consiglio per tutti oltre a seguire le istruzioni cercate il video su YouTube c’è ne sono alcuni che vi spiegano e potete seguire step by step i passaggi. Richiede un po’ di manualità’

Sehr gutes Produkt

C’est la seconde fois que je commande ce produit, Si on suit correctement les instructions, le produit sera efficace.Il fait littéralement disparaitre les impacts et petites fêlures.Largement de quoi faire plusieurs impacts différents. (Environ 5 ou 6, si on respecte le dosage).Franchement pour le prix, et un peu de temps, cela évite de se prendre un malus bris de glace par son assurance en allant faire réparer son pare-brise chez un spécialiste. (Le résultat est identique, voir mieux)Bref si encore besoin plus tard, je reprendrais ce produit.Seul reproche, je ne crois pas qu’il vende le bidon de résine seul ? Car j’avais encore tout le matériel de ma première commande (sauf la résine qui était sèche)

Déçu pas très pratique à manipuler et fonctionne pas comme décrit sur le produit
