Re: Corn syrup?
Until maybe twenty-five or so years ago a common practice for used car dealers' detail departments was to drip a drop or two of mineral or baby oil on a chip to make it less visible. If the glass was warm enough the oil would wick into the damage and disguise it for awhile. Guaranteed until the papers are signed and the car is out of sight of the car lot.

Re: Corn syrup?
Now your really showing your age! Your right though. many used car dealers back then used those methods. Not sure if they use them today but you never know.puka pau wrote:Until maybe twenty-five or so years ago a common practice for used car dealers' detail departments was to drip a drop or two of mineral or baby oil on a chip to make it less visible.

I don't think curing was an issue. He was apparently just getting their money and running down the road.
