The big car windscreen repairer (yes I know it's just a front for
replacement anyway but that's not the subject of this post) is
running ads at the moment which go along the lines of:
"Mr X had a chip and didn't get it repaired, he hit a pothole and it
turned into a crack". Implicit is "if we'd have repaired it that
wouldn't have happened" although that's not actually stated.

Now I understand how a repair can stop water getting in and so
prevent freeze-thaw breakages but is it in any way reasonable to
claim that a repair, which is little more than filling the hole, can
do anything to stop a chip turning into a crack because of
mechanical stress? I can feel a letter to the ASA coming on.



You do that, supplying your evidence and then post the result in a
few weeks after they have investigated.
It's obvious you haven't a clue what you are talking about. I
thought you were
going to mention the way the adverts were misleading people in to
thinking that
repairs were "free" when they are not !

****.
