Questions About Pit Resins And Filler Resins I Noticed That When Reading Through Today That Some Of You Dont Use Pit Resins
When Completing The Process. Just Top Off With Filler Resins. Unless Pit Is A Certain Large Size. Kinda What I Do. My Concern Is That When My Resin Dries The Surface Of The Brake (pit Area) Is Done Looks Like A Faint Water Spot. Do You Guys Have The Same Problem Is There A Pit Resin Out There That Dries As Clear At The Windshield Any Help Would Be Appreciated, Thanks

That white spot you refer to can be polished with pit polish. I do it all the time.

After removing the curing film and scraping smooth with a razor blade, what is left is a "cross-section" of the curred pit filler that is level with the glass. The pit filler (white spot) should then be polished. It only takes a moment and it will polish out resulting in a clear nearly transparent spot.

The techs who do use pit polish will either use a drill with a buffing pad, or if you don't have a buffing pad for your drill, you can get away with hand buffing it with a paper-towel. The drill and buffing pad tends to give the better result. (just don't over buff and heat the glass too much with the friction of the buffing pad).

Ya we had that problem too. Finally the guy that does our replacments kept polishing out our repairs. He told us and we ordered the pit polish and that grey hue is gone.

Polishing the cap with polish and a piece of flat cork works works well.
