Q. Will I still be able to see the damage after it is repaired?

A. Most stone breaks clear up 80% -98%, leaving a very small spot where the resin was injected through the impact point. From inside the vehicle there only is a hint of where the original damage was. Cracks can be more noticeable depending on the age of the crack and how much dirt has accumulated in the crack before the repair is done. Most long cracks after repair will show a little when you view them straight on however at an angle it is usually only slightly noticeable and windshields are mounted at an angle in the vehicle so most of the glare from the sun reflecting on the crack is gone once repaired.
