How To Use
Using Car Bubble correctly is essential for keeping your vehicle protected from dust, moisture, and accidental damage. In this guide, we’ll show you how to use Car Bubble effectively, step by step. Whether you’re storing a classic car or preserving your daily driver, these instructions will ensure optimal protection and long-lasting performance.
To use Car Bubble effectively, start by placing it on a flat, clean surface. Proper inflation is key to ensuring Car Bubble provides maximum protection and maintains its structure.
1. Unpack
Remove the Car Bubble from the storage bag. We recommend allowing it to reach room temperature before unfolding it. This makes it more flexible and easier to manoeuvre.
2. Unroll
Sweep area clean. If close to a wall, it is recommended to leave at least 30cm between the edge of base mat and wall.
3. Remove Fans & Move Top Cover Aside
Fold top cover into a square in the centre of the base mat and place to one side.
4. Park Car On Base Mat
Minimise steering while on the mat, this can cause wear to the base mat.
5. Fit Top Cover & Refit Fans
Ensure car is clean, you may also lay a protective cover/sheet/towel on top to further protect. Unwrap the top layer, avoid dragging.
6. Power Up
Enjoy knowing your car is protected. Creases will disappear.
Additional Tips for Optimal Use:
-
Mats or Tyre Cushions Under the Tyres:
Use mats or tyre cushions (like TyreDox) to prevent tyre impressions on the base mat and reduce sticking. -
Minimise Turning the Steering Wheel on the PVC Base Mat:
Turning the wheels on the mat can cause premature wear and damage. -
Mat Under Car Bubble:
Placing a mat under the Car Bubble can help protect the base from rough surfaces. -
Gentle Handling of PVC:
Unwrap the PVC gently at room temperature to reduce risk of damage. -
Battery Maintenance:
Use a CTEK battery conditioner if not disconnecting the battery. Wires for trickle chargers can be passed between the zip start/end or fan panel openings. -
Timer Plugs for Power Efficiency:
Timer plugs can be used to reduce power usage. Ensure the fans are operational during cold and wet periods (e.g., 6pm-8am). -
Efficient Fan Use:
Disconnect one fan to save energy, but make sure the bubble stays inflated and moisture-free. -
Anchor and Hanging Points:
Use anchor points to maintain shape, stability, and reduce stress on the fans, especially when power is not available. Avoid applying constant tension to the anchor points. -
Space for Fans:
Ensure the fans are not blocked, give them at least 5 cm of space in front to allow sufficient airflow to be drawn in.
