Maybe you can share with our forum members how much you charge for headlight restoring?

Also, do you have any special tips or tricks for getting customers for headlight restoration?

We had a retired gentleman go through our Saturday Car Care 101 class a number of years ago and after taking the class he started a part time business doing only headlight restoration as it's a lot less labor and time intensive compared to detailing the entire car.

One of his techniques was to leave his business cards in places where people sit, like at tire stores and Dr. Offices. He based his entire business on our PlastX, our DA Polisher, a few W-8006 buffing pads and some microfiber polishing cloths. Pretty low investment for a part time job, not sure how much money he made doing this but here in SoCal there's a lot of cars with dull, hazy and cloudy looking headlights and a lot of the owners of these cars don't hang out on forums like this one and have no idea as to how simple it is to restore the clarity to their headlights.



p.s.

Here's a friendly tip... turn the CAPS key off because when you type with all capital letters it has the effect of making it look like your yelling.

hi mike i charge $40.00 a pair for regular customers ,buy here and pay here $20-30,big dealerships $35-40 a pair,the reason i charge that is because their is alot of competition out there.it takes me 30 min per car and i re use the sandpaper so i make pretty good profit with it but i still doing detailing to make more money.to bring customers i bring pics before and aftrer and i show them it works pretty good,regular customers i give them a 2yr warranty,and i havent got anybody calling me back to re do them i do a pretty good job .i have been doing hedlights since 2002 and detailing since 1992,allways use meguiars.i leave business cards every where i go,sometimes i tell a customer if they dont like how the headlights come out they dont have to pay for it ,it works most of the time.know im going to sell and install film for headlights in diferent colors for extra money .mike if you need more info let me know i will be glad to share it.

p.s.how can download pics so i can show you my work on the headlights.
