Hello team, would any of you whole have a few years doing this; ever had someone tell you “I’m not paying you” after you did the job? If so, what do you do? What can you do? What should you do?>and should I ask the Customer for half upfront and then the other half once the job is finished? 2) Should you have someone sign that they give permission to you work on their headlights BEFORE you actually do the work? 3)Anything I need to do to protect myself from whatever it may be, any suggestions is very much appreciated! Thank you all in advance, Bruce H..

Hey all just wanted to create a post on what I was trying to explain about SEO in the weekly live call. This may be a lengthy post but I'm going to try to spell everything out as clear as possible. Please comment if you need more clarification. Obviously, you're going to start off by getting a solid website and Google business page. Google business page is free. For website, I'm using Squarespace ($178 per year, $54 domain for three years) and Acuity for online scheduling ($192 per year). I recommend Wix and I'm switching to Wix next year. From what I have seen, I think you're going to get more tools (like online scheduling) for a smaller price. This is my website if you need inspiration: jakesheadlightrestoration.com I took a $10 SEO course with Matt Diamante (Hey Tony) and this is what I learned (save your $10): 1. Go to AnswerThePublic.com 2. Type in what you sell 3. Find a question you can answer 4. Go to ChatGPT and paste this prompt: “I'm writing a blog post answering this question: [PASTE IN YOUR QUESTION ]Ask me any questions you'd need to know the answer to in order to create a truly unique, helpful blog post. It should include my expertise, experience, case studies, etc. Keep it limited to 10 questions.”

Hey all, I have a restoration scheduled for tomorrow and its supposed to be 25-30 degrees at the time im doing it. What is the recommendation for best results? I have stay clear and vapor. Not sure I have enough headlight magic vapor to cover both headlights, but I have plenty of blue Amazon vapor. Should I change my warranty or reschedule?

When posting Before/After photos, which viewing order do you post them? (When given the option) I know its a small detail but I'm seeing both ways and wonder which works best.

I just got these lenses back from the PPF shop. When I shine a light through them you can see a bunch of microcracks (i think)? I did liquid magic, sanded 600,800,1k,2k, then vapor restoration. Let them sit for 24 hours, before struggling and eventually giving up on PPF. Now they are done with the PPF (professionally installed). I cannot feel the cracks on the inside and they are definitely not on the outside. Maybe internal? They look fine without light shining through, but I'm worried they might look like crap once the headlight is back together and has light going through it. Has anyone seen this before? What is it and is there a solution? Am I cooked? Before and after photos attached.
