Modern windshields are frequently treated with hydrophobic (water-repellent) coatings like Rain-X™, ceramic sprays, waxes, or heavy-duty car wash soaps. When these chemical layers along with road film and dirt, seep into a rock chip, they act as a barrier that prevents UV resin from properly bonding with the raw glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXtraBond™ chemically strips these impurities away from the inside of the break. By completely neutralizing hydrophobic coatings and cleaning the microscopic walls of the chip, it dramatically improves the bonding characteristics of any UV repair resin, regardless of the brand you use. This simple, single-drop application ensures the strongest possible repair, reducing the liability of a repaired crack running or failing down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeutralizes Hydrophobic Coatings:\u003c\/b\u003e Instantly breaks down and removes Rain-X™, commercial car waxes, and chemical road film trapped inside windshield cracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaximizes Resin Adhesion:\u003c\/b\u003e Preps the raw glass surface to ensure the UV resin can achieve maximum cross-linking and structural hold, preventing repair failures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUniversal Compatibility:\u003c\/b\u003e Improves the bonding characteristics and performance of all windshield repair UV resins on the market, not just GT Tools' proprietary formulas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRapid Evaporation:\u003c\/b\u003e The highly volatile formula is designed to flash off and evaporate quickly.
