CLEANING & AFTERCARE
Your TWO SVGE frames are built tough - but to keep them looking fresh and performing at their best, they need a little care.
Friction is the enemy
A lot of lens wear actually comes from rubbing or wiping, not just exposure. If lenses are wiped while dirty or gritty, fine dust or sand can act like sandpaper and scratch or dull the coating. And when they’re stored loose in a soft pouch, bag, or car, items rubbing against them can scuff or smudge the mirror layer - especially on bright chrome or mirrored finishes.
Keep them clear of contaminants
Salt water, sweat, grease, dirt, sunscreen, sprays, makeup, even rainwater - all of these can wear down lens coatings over time. If your sunnies come into contact with any of the above, give them a quick rinse straight away before it dries. Once those residues set in, they can start to corrode or stain the coating.
How to clean
Skip the sprays and harsh cleaners. Just use lukewarm water and a microfiber cloth. Dry them off properly so no water marks are left sitting on the lens. Using anything else (tissues, cotton T shirts, paper towel) can scratch or damage the coating.
How to store
When you’re not wearing them, keep them in the pouch and hard case provided. Don’t leave them loose in tool bags, glove boxes, or backpacks where other items can rub against them. Avoid leaving them on hot dashboards or in direct sunlight for long stretches.
Heads up
Scratches, peeling, or coating wear come from use and exposure, not from defects. They’re not covered under replacement - so giving your sunnies the right care goes a long way to keeping them clean, clear, and ready for whatever the day throws at you.
