I am sorry but I do not like this statement. You need to grow up!

I don't think screenman meant it the way you think he did. That chip you showed in the first pic is a repairman's dream chip. It looks fresh with no dirt in it. These chips make for a dramatic reveal once repaired, often you can get them to look nearly invisible. In your case, it looks like there's still very visible lines in all directions, so it might not be the greatest repair job in the world.

I think you are reading far too much into my post. I think you believe that I am bragging about my skill as a repairman, which I am not. In addition, that I am putting a fellow windshield repairman down. Neither is the case. What I AM doing is trying to explain screenman's comment to the OP because I felt that he misinterpreted it as a compliment to his repair job, which I don't think it was.

From my point of view, I don't consider the previous picture as a "nasty" chip, but rather (like screenman, I assume) I think of nasty dings as ones with, say, two or more individual chips running into each other, a chip with a huge pit (a dime in width or more) and smashed glass, or a chip that's delaminated due to age, or dirt-filled.

I don't think screenman meant it the way you think he did. 14U2Ponder, first and foremost wether Screenman meant that in a positive or negative way would be for him to say and no one else, Hence: he's the one who wrote it....right? I took it as a "Positive" statement, so being a receptive individual I said "Thank you sir" That chip you showed in the first pic is a repairman's dream chip. Exactly what is a "Repairmens Dream Chip" to me, any damage to a Windshield would be a "Dre Chip"..Why? Well that's simple, I love what I do, I make every effort to delivery OPTIMAL results! Is that a crime? Is it so bad that one can't share a photo of ones work w/o the negativity of others? It looks fresh with no dirt in it. I'm sorry, how rude of me! I had no idea you were there as I was performing this repair...actually, you could say it was fairly new if four months falls in there for your observation . I I was factory trained by Delta, I stick to ROLAGS, I've learned my trade inside and out....I would only expect NOTHING less than what's before your eyes, yes, it is CLEAN, I cleaned it again, my training! These chips make for a dramatic reveal once repaired, often you can get them to look nearly invisible. As a matter of fact, that's my ultimate goal with every repair I encounter, call it luck, this one turned out phenomenal! I was very pleased with the outcome, to bad you can't see the same! In your case, it looks like there's still very visible lines in all directions, Please share with us all you're secret, that statement makes us believe that you're repairs are completely invisible, of course you can still see "Lines", they're called "Legs" (just industry lingo), with any repair you still may see the damage from different angles of light, the goal should be at least a 85% or better improvement than its original state (learned that stuff in training too) so it might not be the greatest repair job in the world.

14u2ponder,

The damage is pretty big and extensive, and he did a very good job with repairing it. When it comes to chips, we all know and have learned, that there will ALWAYS be some sort of visual imperfection. If you're going out and repairing windshields with 100% clarity, you're one of a kind and maybe you need to start training people on your break through technique!

Way to go with the half glass empty approach!

GlassTime,

You did a superb job with the repair, it's good to see that you're back up and running again, keep up the good work!
