What should a Windshield Repair Look Like?

What should a windshield repair chip look like after it has been fix correctly? I find it very important to address this question for those involved with the Windshield Repair Industry. A windshield repair chip should disappear 80-95% from its original damaged appearance. If your stone chip repair does not disappear most of the way, your stone chip repair was not fixed correctly. You should never see air bubbles in a finished windshield repair! You should be able to look 360 degrees around a starburst chip and see each leg disappear one by one as you look through the legs. These problems happen when there is a lack of time spent on vacuuming all the air out of the break.
