What I'm saying is that if you are a professional detailer, and provide a list of services, why not consider offering headlight restoration as a service?
The difference is that to provide high quality restoration (or any other detailing service) you have to use the right tools, right skills and the right materials. Headlight restoration is no different. If you want to offer restoration as a service, you don't want to just buy a 3M kit or any product you don't know how long it will last. OptiCoat, 3M protective finish, etc. don't seem like a long term solution, at least not yet. Why use some temporary or unproven product since your reputation is on the line?
Yes, there are many that offer quick and dirty restorations using questionable tools and techniques. Just as there are detailers offering sub-standard waxing and other services.
There are professional headlight restorers available. Not many yet, but growing. They don't use DIY kits and don't do it for 29.95. That's for wal-Mart. They tried it and failed miserably.
Headlight restoration can be a viable service to added revinue stream to many AG readers, but requires research to find the right products and develop proper techniques.
