Cleaning the bubble

Use the following procedures for cleaning the bubble. Be aware that the interior of the bubble requires extra
care in cleaning. Use only the procedures provided below.
For warranty protection, comply with this section's bubble handling procedures.
CAUTION: To prevent damage, do not touch the bubble with your bare hands, do not place the bubble face down on
any surface, and protect the bubble from dust. Oil and acid from your hands can etch some bubble surfaces
and are difficult to remove. Use a scratch-resistant cloth or gloves when handling the bubble.
Cleaning the exterior of the bubble
To clean the exterior of the bubble:
Use any nonabrasive cleaning cloth and a cleaning agent that is safe for use on polycarbonate or acrylic plastic.

Do not use this procedure for cleaning the interior of the bubble. See
Cleaning the interior of the bubble
To clean the interior of the bubble:
• To remove dust and other surface contaminants, first use clean, dry, pressurized air to gently blow off
loose material.
• To remove heavier contaminants, rinse the bubble with water and immediately dry it with clean, dry,
pressurized air to prevent water spots.
• To remove stubborn contaminants, use a "wick" to clean the bubble's surface. To make the wick:
a. Use a high-quality, soft paper towel.
b. Roll a section of the paper towel into a tightly wound tube, tear the tube in half, and wet a fuzzy
end with 75% standard rubbing or isopropyl alcohol.
c. Hold the bubble with its opening facing downward and wipe the interior with the wick (held at its
dry end) using a circular motion starting from the outside and spiraling into the center.
d. Use a new wick for each of two additional passes over the bubble.
