Maintenance

There are different types of bubbles available to choose from. All bubbles require special care when handling and cleaning to avoid scratches.
10.1 Bubble handling
The bubble may be packaged with a protective plastic sheet. It is recommended that the bubble remain stored this way until it is ready to install. Limit handling the bubble, as any scratches can quickly affect visibility.
10.2 Bubble cleaning
If cleaning the bubble is required, use the following procedures and comply with all the warnings listed below.
Cleaning the bubble interior
The extremely soft interior surface should not be cleaned by rubbing or dusting with a cloth.
Use clean dry compressed air, preferably from a spray can, to remove any dust from the interior surface.
Warning!
Do not use alcohol-based solutions to clean the bubble. This will cause it to the cloud and over time cause stress aging, which makes the bubble brittle.
Cleaning the bubble exterior
The exterior of the bubble is hard coated for increased scratch resistance. If cleaning is needed, only use clean microfiber lens cloths use a non-abrasive, solvent-free neutral soap or detergent with water. Dry the bubble thoroughly with a dry and clean microfiber lens cloth to prevent water spots. Never scrub the bubble with any abrasive material or cleaners.
Cautions

• Do not clean bubbles in the hot sun or on very hot days.
• Do not use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners on the bubble.
• Do not scrape the bubble with razor blades or other sharp instruments.
• Do not use Benzene, Gasoline, Acetone, or Carbon Tetrachloride on the bubble.

10.3 Bubble replacement
Notice!
Yellowing of bubble
The bubble may become yellow over time due to exposure to UV radiation like direct or indirect sunlight.
In case the bubble gets damaged or yellow, it can be replaced by a clear bubble (NDA-8000CBL) or a tinted bubble (NDA-8000-TBL).
Clear bubbles offer maximum sensitivity by allowing as much light through as possible. Tinted bubbles offer covertness by making it difficult to see from the outside the direction the camera is facing.
