Well I checked out some dealers yesterday and was able to pick up one mom and pop dealer, I offered them $25.00 per headlight only if they give me cars on a regular basis. You have to try and get what you deserve or worth, some dealers wouldn't even give me the time of day, but the ones that do...

Hello Again Part-Timer, That Quick Fix they sell on TV is really not as good as people think it is, not only that they charged you like an extra 8 bucks for the second bottle and there are a bunch of up-sales to ordering that product so they say 10 bucks plus the 8 dollars shipping fee that's...

With my New Headlight Restoration Business I would like to offer a warranty, I have seen some people offer a 1 year warranty after sealing the Headlights, was wondering if that is wise?, If I Used something like Opti-Coat 2.0 can I offer my customers a 1 year warranty for instance if the...

Thanks you all for your great input, will let my customers know :dblthumb2: thanks Louie

Thank you guys, I will let the new customers know about this, I guess if I would have to do major repairs to a headlight lens it would be probably better to tell the customer if they do complain about it, that it would be better to replace them, some headlight replacements are more expensive...
