The best software i use to trace to vector is VectorMagic. It is was better than Illustrators vectoring and really easy to use.
 
And yes Illustrator is massive brain overload and hard to learn but once you learn it......... OH MY!!!!!!

Yes I am also VERY straightforward with the customers with removals. I tell them especially with older cars that there is a chance they are going to loose their defroster lines and that i am not liable if they are lost.
 
I usually tell them that it is 100$ for the back window plus 50/hour if it takes me more than one hour for just the rear window, and usually 50 for all sides. I also will not remove it unless they get it re-tinted as well. When they hear that they usually go to my competition and get the whole thing removed for 100$ (thankfully). And they use ASWF so when they bring it back to me because it looks like S$$T and it is a S**T job it is usually pretty easy to remove because it is ASWF so win win for me. 
 
And whenever someone bitches or complains i just hand them a few razor blades a couple of old scrubby pads and tell them to get some windex and start scrapping sides and scrubbing real window themselves...... usually they will come back and pay me to finish it AND the job will be half done.
