Installer technical FAQ

If my headlights are already hazy, will putting protection film on them restore their clarity?

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

Some car owners might think that applying a headlight protection film can reverse existing haziness or discolouration on their headlights. This assumption is false; MOD5 TopShield headlight protection film is designed to protect clear headlight lenses from future damage, not to repair existing deterioration. If headlight lenses are already hazy or oxidised, applying a film over them will not restore their clarity but will instead seal in the existing damage, potentially making it more noticeable. For optimal results, any existing haziness should be professionally restored before applying TopShield films, ensuring the film protects a perfectly clear surface.
