Ive had my Focus St-Line for 4 months now and love the car.
The other day I heard a loud bang and low and behold a stone has hit the bonnet and then the windscreen. Ive sorted out the chip on the bonnet but the windscreen has just two tiny surface chips right in my eye line.
They are not big enough to fill/repair but are just annoying and its driving my ocd crazy :)

Is there anything that can mask the chip out so I don't see it as much from the inside or is it just something ill have to live with until I get lots more and get a replacement screen?.
 
Does this work for tiny chips?

Yes - I've used it before on a windscreen that was "peppered" with "grit".

For that purpose, better to just apply the resin directly without the applicator, cover with the curing strip, allow to cure, then scrap with the razor blade at 90 degree to the glass.

e.g. as per the directions for a crack

You likely won't get a completely invisible repair, but you can certainly make any damage less noticable, as well as sealing the damaged glass to prevent "corrosion"/further discolouration of the glass.
