C-Bond nanoShield Frequently Asked Questions

  • We offer Mobile application of the C-Bond NanoShield® product within Idaho’s Treasure Valley.

    C-Bond NanoShield® is a glass treatment designed to significantly increase the strength, durability, and structural integrity of glass while also including a water-repellent to improve driver visibility and reaction time during wet weather conditions.

    NanoShield is a ‘smart solution’ engineered to identify the microscopic flaws and defects that are found throughout every glass surface, which weaken the glass structure and initiate failure. NanoShield’s proprietary technology then penetrates the glass and covalently bonds with and repairs the microscopic surface imperfections, dramatically increasing the strength of the glass.

    It is a liquid chemical solution that once applied, dries to an invisible finish. It does not alter the look, clarity, reflectivity, or light transmission of the windshield like films can.

  • NanoShield development was completed in cooperation with Rice University’s Chemical & Mechanical Engineering Departments, and the product has been tested and validated by independent, third-party glass industry laboratories. Testing was executed in accordance with government, law enforcement, and industry standards including American National Standards Institute (ANSI), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), SAE International (formerly the Society of Automotive Engineers), General Services Administration (GSA), National Institute of Justice (NIJ), Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

  • Yes! For the the mobile service option a 1-year or 50,000-mile warranty, whichever comes first is included. If a repairable rock chip or crack up to 6” does happen to occur during this time period then we will make the repair at no additional cost to you.

    Note: The warranty is not offered for the DIY kit.

  • Once every year up to 50,000 miles driven.

    During normal driving, a windshield will continue to be impacted by road debris such as sand, dirt, stones, etc., all of which will continue to generate new micro-imperfections in the glass surface. The body of the vehicle will also vibrate and flex against the edges of the mounted glass, further aggravating and growing those imperfections.

  • NanoShield has been shown to increase glass strength up to 80% when compared to untreated glass, reducing the incidence of windshield chipping and cracking from 40% to 82%, and reducing repair and replacements costs up to 83%.

  • The vehicle must be parked in a area free from rain and intense direct sunlight. The ideal temperature for application is between 50 and 90 degrees which can be achieved by using the heater or defrost for around 10 minutes if needed.

  • Choosing NanoShield is a proactive investment. A stronger windshield is less likely to suffer damage, sparing you the hassle of repairs and the extensive downtime required for full glass replacements and ADAS recalibration. Most importantly, if a windshield does not need to be replaced, it preserves the original factory seal, ensuring the vehicle's structural integrity remains intact and leak-free. Finally, it aids in the heavy environmental toll of non-recyclable windshields ending up in landfills.

  • You can drive the vehicle immediately after application is completed, although it is recommended not to drive in excessive rain conditions for 24 hours. If that is unavoidable, running the defroster on heat for 15 – 20 minutes following application to accelerate the curing process and obtain the most benefit from nanoShield prior to driving is recommended.

  • Never. Unlike window protection film, NanoShield becomes part of the glass itself, there is no film to peel, bubble, or turn yellow. It is invisible to the naked eye and won't affect the clarity of your windshield or the performance of your vehicle’s safety cameras.

  • A windshield treated with NanoShield is still subject to damage. However, NanoShield has been shown to increase glass strength up to 80% when compared to untreated glass.

  • Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove any remaining residue, or if needed simply moisten the clean microfiber cloth first without soaking the cloth and wipe off any remaining haze, streaking or residue. The glass surface can then be buffed by hand with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. This will not diminish the performance of the nanoShield that has already bonded with the micro-fractures in the glass.scription

  • NanoShield only reacts with glass so it will not stain or damage paint, rubber, plastic, chrome, or other vehicle surfaces. Simply wipe it off with a clean, dry rag. If it becomes stubborn to remove, moisten a clean rag and wipe it off. If needed, buff surface with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.

  • If the vehicle has been sitting outside on a hot day and the windshield is too hot (above 90°F / 32°C), run the vehicle’s defroster with the A/C turned on for 10 – 15 minutes to cool off the windshield before applying NanoShield. If the windshield is below 50°F (10°C), run the defroster on heat for 10 – 15 minutes to warm the windshield before applying the treatment.

  • C-Bond nanoShield is designed and engineered to ensure it does not present any known health risk.

    Causes serious eye irritation. Wash hands thoroughly after handling Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection If in eyes: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: get medical advice/attention

Windshield Repair

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We offer mobile windshield repair for rock chips and cracks. We do not install or replace windshields.

    There are some limitations to what types of breaks and chips can be repaired and are determined on a case by case basis.

  • For a single windshield chip it typically takes around 15 minutes to complete. Larger cracks can take 30 minutes or more.

  • Yes, windshield rock chip and crack repairs have a lifetime warranty for as long as you own the vehicle. If a repair were to fail, it will either be repaired if possible or you will be refunded for the total cost of the repair.

  • In the state of Idaho, glass coverage typically depends on your auto insurance policy. Most insurance companies offer full or partial coverage for glass repair with comprehensive coverage, with some policies having a zero-deductible. It’s best to check your policy verbiage or contact your insurance provider to determine the specifics of your glass coverage.

  • The general rule of thumb for a chip is the size of a quarter or smaller but determined on a case by case basis. Cracks up to 6” in length can generally be repaired.
