Installer technical FAQ

If my MOD5 TopShield headlight protection film gets scratched, will it heal itself?

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

Many car owners believe that if MOD5 TopShield headlight protection film gets scratched, it will heal itself completely, similar to some paint protection films. This belief is incorrect because while MOD5 TopShield headlight protection film is constructed to be robust and absorb impacts, it is not primarily engineered with a self-healing top layer designed to eliminate deeper scratches independently. Its primary function is to absorb and distribute impact energy to prevent damage to the headlight lens. Real-world behaviour indicates that minor surface abrasions may become less noticeable with warmth, but significant scratches remain. This understanding helps car owners to evaluate the protective capabilities of the film accurately and manage their expectations regarding scratch repair.
