Headlamp restoration service

[TRIPOWER1]

So I stopped and dropped some parts for my work at a repair shop by my house yesterday and on the counter was a display for 3M headlamp restoration service, so im reading the display and looking at the before and after pics and what the service contains and I look at the price they charge customers $130.00, that crazy who would pay that much, a " full service detail " at the local detail shop is anywhere from $99.00-$150.00 and the work is bad. I dont know how many they sell but I could never charge that much, maybe its just me, whats everyone else charging?

Lots of people have dull hazy headlights and have no idea how easy it is to restore clarity with an $8.00 bottle of PlastX and a little passion behind an applicator pad.



Or about a kit that works with an electric drill for about $25.00

Meguiar's Headlight Restoration Kit

yeah, PlastX works great by hand, not sure why they charge customers so much

I would buy Meguiars Headlight Restoration Kit.
I do not know what the 3M kit is, but that seems too much.
I do not let anyone else touch my truck, except for the mechanic.
But he does not touch the paint.

Unfortunately because they can. Many people don't want to spend $500 to replace headlight assemblies, so $130 is a bargain to them. The people that know better than to spend that much and knows what a bottle of PlastX will do would never allow their headlights to become that bad.

its just amazing, and cnfowler you correct thats how they get the people. I work in a high line dealership and our cars have the headlamp hazing problems we charge nothing for our customes the porter's just do if there not that busy with other cars.
