What’s Included

- 2 × Fans (1 fan for motorcycle/scooter models)
- 2 × Power Supplies (1 power supply for motorcycle/scooter models)

Step-by-Step Installation
- Step 1: Unpack and Position
Remove the inflatable car bubble from its shipping box, unfold it, and lay it out completely flat. Unzip the top clear PVC cover and fold it back toward the air intake of the bubble. - Step 2: Attach the Fan Panel and Power
Align the fan with the velcro panel and feed the fan power connector through the access port located at the bottom of the base mat. Plug in the 12V connector or your compatible power supply. For easier placement, you can inflate the unit for a few hours before positioning your vehicle. - Step 3: Position Your Vehicle
Carefully move your vehicle, motorcycle, or scooter onto the center of the base mat. The mat includes three guide lines: one center line and one line on each side, helping you easily align your vehicle. Roll or drive straight onto the mat and avoid turning the wheels while on it to maintain the mat’s durability. - Step 4: Cover Your Vehicle
Unfold the bubble’s top clear PVC cover over your vehicle, ensuring a gentle placement without excessive pulling or tugging. - Step 5: Secure the Bubble
Zip the zippers on both sides of the unit, working all the way around until both zippers meet. - Step 6: Activate the Fan
Turn on the fan and observe as it inflates the car bubble. You may need to assist during inflation if the clear PVC catches on a spoiler, mirror, or other protruding parts. - Step 7: Reassurance
Enjoy the peace of mind that your car, motorcycle, or scooter is preserved, protected, and presented in the best way possible. - Step 8: Wrinkle Free
To quickly remove wrinkles from the clear PVC, use a garment steamer on the outside of the unit.
Important Warnings
- Before using it for the first time, inflate your Inflatable Bubble without the vehicle inside to help smooth out any wrinkles in the material.
- If the temperature is below 50ºF (10ºC), open the Inflatable Bubble packaging and allow the material to warm up indoors for 24 hours before inflating.
- For light dust, simply wipe the Inflatable Bubble with a soft car duster.
- If the bubble becomes dirty, clean it using warm water and mild dish soap, then rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry.
- When not in use, store your Inflatable Bubble in a dry, elevated area away from rodents or moisture.
- Keep your vehicle windows fully or halfway open while stored inside the bubble to help with airflow.
- If you have a convertible, leave the top up but unlatched to protect the weather stripping.
- Do NOT use an additional car cover inside the Inflatable Bubble—doing so may trap moisture and reduce ventilation.
Removing Your Inflatable Bubble
- Step 1: Turn Off the Fan
Switch off the fan and unplug the power supply. Wait a few minutes for the inflatable bubble to deflate and soften. - Step 2: Open the Zippers
Unzip the bubble all the way around until both zippers are fully open. Gently lift the clear PVC cover so it is loose and easy to move. - Step 3: Fold Back the Clear Cover
Carefully fold the clear PVC cover back toward the air intake side of the base mat. Make sure the cover is out of the way so your vehicle can exit without touching or dragging on it. - Step 4: Move Your Vehicle Off the Mat
Slowly roll or drive your car, motorcycle, or scooter straight off the center of the base mat. Avoid turning the wheels sharply while still on the mat to prevent unnecessary wear. - Step 5: Smooth and Dry the Mat and Cover
If there is any moisture or dust, wipe the base mat and clear cover with a clean, soft cloth. Allow them to air dry if needed before folding. - Step 6: Fold the Bubble
Lay the clear cover flat over the base mat, smooth out large wrinkles, and fold both the mat and cover together into a compact shape that fits your storage space. - Step 7: Store the Bubble
Place the folded inflatable bubble, fan, and power supply into their storage bag or box. Store in a cool, dry place until you are ready to use it again.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I identify the front of the bubble? The front of the bubble is the side where the fans are located. The fans are always positioned at the front, making it easy to know which direction the bubble should face during installation.
How long does it take to inflate the bubble? Most bubbles fully inflate within 5–7 minutes once the fan is turned on. Larger car models may take slightly longer, while motorcycle and scooter bubbles inflate more quickly.
Do I need a completely flat surface for installation? A smooth, flat surface is recommended. Minor slopes are fine, but avoid rough or sharp surfaces that could damage the base mat or affect airflow.
Can I install the bubble by myself? Yes, most customers install it alone without any issue. Assistance may be helpful when unfolding the clear PVC over larger vehicles, but it is not required.
Will the bubble work if my vehicle has mirrors, handlebars, or a small spoiler? Yes, the bubble is designed to expand around common vehicle shapes. If the PVC catches on mirrors or protruding parts during inflation, simply guide the material gently.
Can I drive onto the mat with wet tires? Yes, but it’s best to wipe excess water or snow to keep moisture out of the bubble. The base mat is durable, but keeping it clean helps prolong its life.
Do I need to leave the fan running at all times? Yes, the bubble stays inflated by continuous airflow from the fan. It uses very little electricity—similar to a small household appliance.
What if the bubble doesn’t rise evenly during inflation? This is normal. Simply adjust the clear PVC if it catches on a mirror, handlebar, or other part of your vehicle. Once freed, the bubble will inflate smoothly.
How do I clean the inflatable bubble? Wipe the clear PVC and base mat using a soft cloth with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, pressure washers, or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the material. Allow the bubble to fully air dry before folding or storing it.
