Does anyone use/used these resins? If so, your input would be greatly appreciated.

I have never personally used these or other discount resins, but I have seen some of my local competitors using these. The problem is not with the initial repair(I attribute that to the winshield replacement tech doing repairs with poor equipment and training) but 6 months down the road. They turn dark, fall out of the repair site, and other nasty things that can shorten the life expectancy of your business. For what good resins cost(I have used Delta and Glass Mechanix, I prefer GM) you are better to stick to a known supply, Calculate the cost difference between a good resin and a discount resin, is your reputation really worth 5-10cents savings per repair?

I don't think these are discounted resins. Discounted resins will usually cost about $10 for a half ounce. I would send these guys an email and ask for a sample. That's always the best way to get an idea if your going to like it or not. This company has been around for awhile and I'm sure they would send you a free sample of their resin. If not then you didn't want to buy from theem in the first place.

US Windshield Repair has good resin... it's been mentioned here before. It's not a "discount" resin and it's not priced as such either at $40/oz.

I have used a couple ounces and it worked well. I even got to use the crack resin on a couple cracks with good results. It does a good job as a pit filler too but it's thinner than most pit fillers so large pits need 2-3 applications for a flush finish.

The resin doesn't flow in difficult repairs quite as well as what I normally use but it's thicker so that's somewhat expected. I think it's thicker than most "regular" resins and they will tell you that. The repair strength and clarity etc. is fine.
