Don,

2) Why hasn't Boz tried going to Car Lots and cleaning Headlights for them.
I am NOT answering for Boz. I am tossing out a general answer I got from a guy in Reno NV who does headlight cleaning, detailing and other make a car look nice work. I cold called him about a website is how I got to talk w/him.
He said some of the car dealers have their own people so they don't outsource. Other car dealers just say no and the rest say yes. I don't know how good of a salesman he is so I don't know if he could turn some of the no's into yeses.
I have to imagine his experience isn't unique. From what I know about car dealers, they can be a cantankerous bunch and having autos w/clean headlights wouldn't be on their menu of services.
This doesn't mean it won't work. It means a guy has to work to make it work. Most Americans today don't want to work the work. They want someone to do it for them. The entitlement mentality in action.
Just my 2¢...
Those who read the manual and watch the videos know that I go to car lots. The car lot in the manual paid me $175 for about an hour of work, which is documented in the manual.
My experience has been that used car dealers aren't in the business of selling cars, they're in the business of financing cars. Most of them couldn't care less what their cars look like. The few who have discovered that they can command a premium price for clean cars do put money into the cars. The trick is finding the ones who spend on their cars.
Some of them detail the cars, but the hands are so busy that they don't have time to do the headlights. Most of them are using the standard cleaning method that takes about an hour per car. They make more for an hour of detailing than an hour of headlight cleaning. That's why my 3 minute method pays off.
I invented my own method, after investigating and trying out dozens of methods. I started with the Mother's kit and built out from there. That kit works if you follow the directions. The results will last about 3 months, or two trips through the car wash. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I guarantee my jobs for two years.
I have never tried to convince anyone to get their headlights cleaned. If you have to convince someone, you've lost the battle before you started. Some people want it, some don't. So what? Next!
