I repaired a 10 inch crack on an Avalanche that had been treated with DF. I have heard that this DF treatment STOPS this from happening. It failed in this case. Could have been due to rock hitting the edge I don't know.

None of my posting was due toward you. I re read my post and don't know how you mistook it. I was just posting about DF. No reason to go away. This is why we have Glas Weld, Delta, Gt, etc. We will not always agree about things. I am NOT familiar with Nano0Tec products at all. Sorry if you thought my post was made negatively towards you or your product.

Hmm... :eusa_thin

I've never heard the manufacturer specify that the treatment will stop cracks from happening. It was engineered as a maintenance-free coating, after all. We try to discourage those kind of 'invincibility' expectations when we can--- it's ultimately bad for a product's reputation.

Regardless of how good any system may actually be, keep in mind that there isn't a treatment out there that will eliminate the possiblility of a glass windshield breaking.

A big enough rock going at the right speed can crack any windshield. ;)

cheers, guys

Sgailey,
This was my only dealing with DF. I fix all the glass for a huge dealership here in my town. DF was trying to get them (F&I manager) to upsell this service. My friend (the F&I guy) it was his Demo they applied this to and his I fixed. He told me it was supposed to prevent chips from happening. This may or may not have been true, as I don't know. Only what i WAS TOLD BY HIM.

No offence taken my friend. My comment was more intended as a professional courtesy as to not sling mud towards a company whose product was part of a discussion.

Compliment your choice of vehicles for your site, always favored the Italian Yellow on a muscle car, only thing that compares to that is a deep lustre Black paint job http://www.nanobioniccarusa.com checkout a buddies car on that site.

Thanks again for the follow up, keeps the faith going.

To all members of this Forum, I am not posting to sell products, however, I will address questions or comments posted by other members when they are related to our products. We do not take orders nor endorse on this Forum. I have 15 years experience in the windshield repair and glass polishing/restoration industry as well as a working knowledge of Nanotechnology when dealing with Smart Surface Treatments. That being said and out of the way I will address your question.

Nanotechnology works by way of nano-particles between 1-5nm in size suspended in a colloidal solution that have self-assembly properties. These nano-particles get into the pores of the glass and form a mono-layer structure docked directly to the molecules of the glass. The structure is permanent, however, if the glass is damaged the nano-structure is also damaged but can be repaired by way of spraying fresh nano onto the non-functioning area. The NanoBionic glass repels water, dirt, bugs, acid rain and hard water. When exposed to heavy rains or snow the NanoBionic glass has self-cleaning function. We have tested our Nanotechnology treatment for glass against the many of the previously mentioned "Chemical" coatings and various processes of applying other products. No comparison! Comment about "Migrating into a damaged windshield", there is no migration of the treatment into a chip that occurs after the glass has been treated. As we all know from repair rock chips, anything liquid will get into and contaminate a rock chip, repair the chip then apply your product. Repaired Nanobionic windshield, apply fresh product in the repaired area, the new Nano seeks out and attaches itself to the existing nanoscopic mesh "heals itself" to speak.
To address the comment made by Wilz, I have 60,000 miles on one of my personal vehicles that is completely NanoBionic, the treated windshield still has function. This includes two rough winters in Northern, Va. region as well as being a daily driver.
