Types of Stone Chip Damage
Chips generally fall into a few categories: a simple bullseye (a clean circular impact), a star break (with fine cracks radiating outward), or a combination break. Star breaks and combination chips are more urgent to repair, since the radiating cracks are more likely to spread.
Why Acting Quickly Matters
Temperature changes, road vibration, and moisture getting into the chip are the main reasons a small chip turns into a long crack. Repairing within a few days of the impact — before dirt and moisture contaminate the damage — gives the clearest, strongest repair.
The Repair Process
We clean the chip, apply optical-grade resin under vacuum pressure so it's drawn fully into every crack, cure it under UV light, then polish the surface flush with the surrounding glass.
