Does the original headlight surface need special preparation before applying protection film?

Many car owners believe that the original headlight surface does not require any specific preparation before the application of headlight protection film. This belief is incorrect, as proper surface preparation is crucial for the effective adhesion and longevity of MOD5 TopShield headlight protection film. The headlight lens must be thoroughly cleaned to remove all dirt, oils, waxes, and other contaminants that could interfere with the film's bond. A clean, smooth, and dry surface ensures the film adheres consistently, preventing lifting or bubbling over time. Neglecting this step can compromise the film's performance and appearance. This understanding helps car owners prioritise adequate surface preparation for optimal film adhesion and durability.
