Due to not being able to find a job at the moment, I created my own headlight restoration system out of my own backpack to get some money back.
My question is, if a 19 year old guy came up to you and asked you if you would like your headlights restored and showed you a picture like this

would you do it? (I only charge $20)
Be honest, as if I was a stranger.
I'm just trying to see if I can make money doing this. (my aunt says I can charge $50 but im going to say 20 for this, which is what I regularly charge).

Well... My car wouldn't need that to be done because I'd take care of it... Some people might not care what their car looks like etc but I think that the majority would be happy to pay for you to do this. Also, I found a paste called "metal polish" that works for doing stuff like this. Note: only plastic headlights go like this, glass ones don't. |

Yeah drive 1200 miles from Ohio and restore my headlights. $20 should cover your gas and labor.

I would definitely pay $20 to get my headlights restored. It sounds like a real good deal. Which also leave a lot of room for TIPS ;D
I would pay you $20, and like $5 to $10 tip. I always give nice tips to everyone lol. |
