I also use Dvelup but I hand sand and buff everything. It is time consuming but I have found that people like it when you are taking time on thier vehicle giving it some TLC.

I too live in a rural area(S.Alamama) but I can and do get $75-90.00 per pair retail and 45.00 dealer pay .Its not your price but maybe your approach?? Set your price where it should be and that becomes the pricing in the area.Let them call their local dealership/repair shop if they think you are high!!
With the average price of a set of headlight assemblys running from $350.00 to 550.00 and up plus labor at least $150.00 more they will see the light.Dont be afraid to educate your customer.I have used
Dvelup for almost 2 years now and love it when some one tells me that they are going to try one of the DO-IT yourself kits.They always call me back later.When a person tells me that they can get it done cheaper thats when your sales ability comes in play.You have to know why your system is better than the sand and polish guys out their.Dvelup gives you the final necessary step to set the benchmark for quality.Alot of my retail customers come from the cut/rate guys that dont have the quality and durability.If you really want to set this thing in perspective,its easier to sell a H/Light job and get a good return $$ than a w/shield repair. JMHO.............If you sell it as an add on service to your customers for w/shield repair you will see a big increase in your per ticket average.As far as complaints about the price,if they
dont complain your prices are way too low...........
