Abstract
An optically and aerodynamically optimized and particularly wind-insensitive cleaning apparatus for cleaning a surface of a sensor apparatus of a vehicle with a fluid cleaning agent. The surface is surrounded by an outer surface region with respect to which the surface is arranged so as to be substantially flush therewith or curved in a domed manner above it, and, in relation to the outer surface region, the nozzle is positioned in a recessed manner such that the spraying of the cleaning agent is realized below the outer surface region.
