I do think you have to sell yourself as a PRO.
Kits cost $20 and add to that the cost of labor for dealers, of course the hassle for an Invidual is worth something too.

Ben how long does it take you to do a pair with the dvelup system using power tools.?

Today I saw the Lens renew site, it claims to be the best and doesn't use a clear UV Protective coat... Comments anyone
I use a 3"mini D/A as I have air compressor on board.About 45 Min.Most of the companys you describe are just a sand and polish outfits.These guys were the 1st generation of H/light restore kits.The 2nd generation of systems have now realized through failure the importance of a lens UV coat product to hold up and look the best when finished.As for 45.00 for dealers you have to take into account this is an add-on item.I do paint spot repair and touch-up /windshield repair/headlight restoration .When you have 3 or 4 cars to do at one time and line them up you can really knock them out fast.Ask Dvelup to just sell you the chemical start-up pkg($95.00?).You probably have every thing else you need.I have done plenty by wetsanding 500 than 1500-buff and coat $$$$$ They give you enough to do at least 60 lens ++
