  2. Next the technician will clean the chip to remove moisture and dirt from the damaged area. Moisture or dirt sealed into the repair will cause the spot repair to look cloudy and possibly obstruct the sight of the driver. This is one of the reason it is best to repair chips as soon as possible to prevent the build-up of dirt.<\/li>\n
