About Windscreen Repairs
Screenkleer specialise in repairing all types of chips to laminated glass and specialise in repairing longer cracks up to 23cm approx 9" long.
The repair process works by injecting a liquid acrylic resin into the damaged glass. The damage is cured by the use of long wave ultra violet light.
After curing, what the repair will do is as follows.
1. Restore the strength to the damaged glass.
2. Cosmetic improvement, repairs restore the optical or cosmetic appearance, it will only leave a slight blemish or in the case of a large crack the damage will be reduced to look a slight scratch.
3. Heated and tinted windscreens can be repaired in the same way as plain windscreens.
4. Tinted windscreensor tinted top band areas can be repaired in the same manner as plain windscreens. The "colour" is in the PVB interlayer not the glass. The glass picks up the colour from the interlayer, the repair resin will do exactly the same.

My Esprit windscreen repair kit

All my other equipment including my scratch removal kit comes in cases like the one shown that can easily be carried and work of 12v battery so there is no need to move the repair car to electric point.

Typical Bullseye repair in drivers view (A Zone)
This picture shows a typical bullseye which is in the A Zone before being sucessfully repaired, most chips can be repaired by Screenkleer in the drivers view as long as I can get them less that 10mm after repairing so they are up to M.O.T. standard.
During Repair
Shown here is the UV repair bridge, the resin is injected into the injector at the top of the picture, bellow this is the UV cover to keep any sunlight off the repair until ready to be cured with a UV lamp.
Curing the damaged area
This shows the ultra violet lamp which is curing the bullseye, this turns the liquid acrylic resin from a liquid to a solid, after curing any excess resin is removed with a razor blade and poished clear with some pit fill polish.
After repair
After the bullseye repair is complete you will be left with just a very minor blemish and if the chip is repaired without delay before dirt and road grime gets a chance to get into the chip it will be even better!
Vehicle glass scratch removal (polishing)
As well as getting chipped and cracked, auto glass frequently gets scratched due to worn out wiper blades, road debris and normal wear and tear.
We can polish scratched glass such as wiper marks and scratches caused by ice scrapers and light ring scratches etc. The polishing method we use causes zero distortion and does not weaken glass in any way.
The picture below shows an example of a wiper mark that was removed on Ferrari windscreen showing scratch before and after polishing.

Environmental credentials
Windscreens in landfill site
At Screenkleer we only repair windscreens so we are preventing many good windscreens from ending up in a landfill site as shown here.
It takes approx 1 million years for a windscreen to breakdown in a landfill.
Repairing one windscreen (not replacing) saves enough energy to light a 100-watt light bulb for 34 hours.
Windscreen glass is difficult to recycle because much of the glass is 2-ply laminated and contains a PVB layer that must be seperated.
Integrated heating elements or radio antenna are often embedded within the windscreen and cannot be returned to the glass furnace for reworking.
