I charge $60 if its just a headlight restore by itself. If its with a detail I charge $45.

If you can offer a permanent fix so they won't get cloudy again you can charge more. When I do restores and apply a uv sealer on them I charge $100 and up. However for just a restor and regular sealant I charge $60 and up.

If those prices sound high to you, I'm curious what you were figuring would be fair or that people would be willing to pay....

Around here I've heard about $30.

I'd love to charge $100, but still a little nervous about the whole process in general. Would hate to mess up someone's lights!

I would say it is a little early to be charging then. But $40-70ish seems to be the range if you do a search.

I think I have some family I could practice on. Just still a bit confused on what all needs to be done?
