Description: I have created a 90 second Headlight Cleaner. It works! You wipe it on and then you wipe it off. Voila! Clean Headlights. 1 out of every 4 cars has some type of cloudiness or haze on the headlights. And every car in the world will eventually get cloudy headlights. This robs drivers of up to 70% of their night time driving visibility. It diminishes others ability to see you and judge your distance. Cloudiness also takes away from the appearance of vehicles, making cars look years older than they really are. Detail and automotive shops charge anywhere from $40.00 to $80.00 PER LIGHT!! That is a total cost of $80.00 to $160.00!! Who is going to pay that? They wet sand them with 1500 grit sandpaper and water. The procedure generally takes 45 minutes to an hour of your time, and in 6 to 9 months the headlights are cloudy again. Totaling up to $320.00 per year to keep your headlights clean. Their are numerous off the shelf products out also. Most are simply ineffective and the ones that do work require either a 3 step multi-chemical process or require the consumer to use a drill( such as 'The Ball' by Maguires). Neither of which is user friendly for the average consumer. The average cost of these off the shelf products is $25.00. With my product, "BLAST-OFF' 90 Second Headlight cleaner, I have not only cut down on the time it takes to clean your headlights or have them cleaned, I have cut down dramatically on the cost. My cost per vehicle is a staggering $10.00. People are extremely happy to pay it, and are amazed at the amazing results. I constantly hear people exclaim"Oh my God" " No way" "Are you kidding me" " I have tried everything". I once ran into a lady who had a set of new headlights for her Jeep grand cherokee in the back seat. Her husband was going to put them in today she told me.$260.00 each! I said "Ma'am, just give me 30 seconds to try my stuff out on one of your lights". She reluctantly agreed. I immediately grabbed my kit and Blasted her headlight off. She happily gave my $50.00 dollars while exclaiming, "I am soooo glad I ran into you. Thank you so so much". I have a marketing plan. I need an investor.
