For the group of friends I typically drive with on the street most are on R-compounds of some type OR track days. Rocks get chucked like crazy. We've had an incredible amount of rain this year too so there's even more crap on the roads, especially the back roads.
Seems rather pointless based on their published warranty. Their warranty doesn't cover windshield damage. Only manufacturing defects, only if installed by an authorized reseller, and only if Alchemy says so.

All solid points. Again those i know that use it speak highly of it. That said it might be because they spent around $800 cdn for the application and want to feel better about their purchase

Looking thru the glass into the sun is the real test of all "fixes"... That's the question that needs attention .

Oh, I totally get your frustration with those rock chip repairs, and I've been there too. A Chick and Windshield helped me! 🚗💨 It's like an uninvited guest at the windshield party. I actually found this great spot via your link (https://goo.gl/maps/3Q66jCaUh85vaU3b9) where they did an awesome job fixing up the Windshield. They made it look like those chips were never even there. So, if you need a reliable place for those repairs, this one might just be the ticket. Happy cruising without those annoying pock marks! 🌬️🪨😄
