Installer technical FAQ

Will MOD5 TopShield headlight protection film bubble or peel if I wash my car with a pressure washer?

Installer support covering lens-film protection, limitations, preparation, maintenance and customer education.

There is a common concern among car owners that MOD5 TopShield headlight protection film will bubble or peel if they use a pressure washer during car cleaning. This concern is often incorrect because while extreme misuse of a pressure washer can damage any automotive surface, MOD5 TopShield headlight protection film is designed to adhere securely to the headlight surface and withstand typical washing methods. However, directing a high-pressure stream directly at the film's edges at a close distance can potentially compromise the adhesion. Real-world behaviour indicates that using a pressure washer with appropriate distance and fan spray settings for general car cleaning does not cause bubbling or peeling. This understanding helps car owners assess the risk of using pressure washers, preventing damage while continuing normal car care routines.
