No shampoo? You can get a bissle little green pretty cheap now. I would up all of your prices by 10-20 at least. 50-100 on top of your last package with shampoo.

What method do you use for Headlight restoration?

Headlight restoration is real low. I did one on sunday just for practice they ended up giving me $50 because someone else was charging them $120

Well around here a guy charges $15 for a basic restoration with no protection. His highest rates are $45 with protection and everything.

Your prices should be based on what typical costs are in your area.

If you were in my area (West Los Angeles) where a cheap tiny house costs 780K your prices would be very low.

If you were in the south where a really nice house can be had for 300K your prices would be right in line.

[david11g35]

What method are you using? even with no protection $15 seems way to low if your going to be wet sanding the headlights. is it $15 per light or the pair?

I would stick around here for a wile. Read, watch youtube videos. Ask questions. There's a lot of helpful videos and people on this site. Once you decide that this is what you want to do, do it right!

Practice your headlight method, learn to clay, invest in a decent DA Polisher when you can and include a shampoo in your bigger packages.

I would go for 35 on crossover vehicles such as a ford edge or subaru outback (5 seater suv) Dont let them argue what is a crossover, A 5 seater with bigger suspension. If they have a suburban I would Add 5 dollars to the wash and 15 for everything else. Make it easy to see your prices as it is a contractual obligation. I would also say that if they see a better price somewhere else, you should meet it and take 5 percent off of it for more business.
