📖 The Hustle
Restore cloudy, yellowed headlights to crystal clear condition. You need a headlight restoration kit ($15-25) and a drill. Charge $40-60 per pair. It takes 30-45 minutes per car. Cloudy headlights are a safety hazard and an eyesore. Most cars older than 5 years need this. Five cars per weekend at $50 each earns $250 for a few hours of easy, satisfying work.
🚀 First Step
Buy a headlight restoration kit from an auto parts store, restore your own or a friend's headlights for before-and-after photos, then post on Nextdoor.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Use a drill-powered kit, not a hand-sanding kit — it cuts the job time in half
- Apply UV sealant as the final step or the cloudiness comes back in months
- Walk through a grocery store parking lot and leave flyers on cars with yellowed headlights
