Don't know about the DIY stuff, but had various windscreens done twice, always seems to leave a bullseye.
Never been satisfied, but good enough for MOT.

If it shows even after filling (usually if its deep or cracked) and in the field of vision (appropriate sizes) it's still a fail IIRC, I know I used to get an advisory, but not that it was outside of the field.
