Judging from some of the posts, nail polish on a crack will only ruin it for a real repair. I found this somehow when I was trying to find a picture of cracked glass (though it would be a nice watermark for documents) Ok I was just bored in the middle of the night. Maybe someone official might want to give them some better information....

"Got a small chip on your windshield? Well, there's an easy way to keep it from expanding, says auto expert Trisha Hessinger.
* Just apply a bit of clear nail polish on both the outside and the inside of the windshield. A few carefully applied drops will do the trick!
* You'll want to reapply the polish every few months since exposure to sun, wind and rain will eventually cause it to wear off.
* For a medium-sized chip, purchase a special resin for windshield repair at your local auto-supply store. This will prevent the damage from spreading to the point that you have to replace the entire windshield.
