Default Re: Headlight restoration?

GTech, Thanks for your response.

I'm not repairing headlights at the moment, I just think it could be another way to add to my bottom line.
I agree pricing is going to different everywhere, still Id like to do a Top Notch job and charge a Top Notch price, at the same time I don't want to rob customers, my service needs to be affordable, I'm thinking a dealer minimum of $30 -$35 per light, more would be nice, your pricing looks very good to me, I've spoke to some dealers who pay $480 to replace a set of headlights on an F150, I know I can save dealers some serious money, I want my repairs to be unbeatable, long lasting, I hate complaints or redo's.

I don't mind spending time and good money on products as long as I can make a fair profit.

You say that you spend an hour per set, How much of that time is down time waiting for clears to dry?.

I see you use the a modified IPS system, Does the IPS polisher work good on those small/ thin eyebrow lights such as the older Sebrings, I've been looking for a small sander /polisher, I want to be able to use power tools in order to speed up my repairs... I've sanded and polished by hand for years and I'm getting tired of that.

Thanks for your Help, Its appreciated.
