Custom Car Magnet Information
Car Magnet Maintenance Important!
It is important to clean the vehicle surface and back of the magnet before application. In addition a thin layer of car wax should be applied to the vehicle surface and back side of the magnet especially during the summer months. Remove your car magnet before sending your vehicle through an automatic car wash.
For vehicles (and many external applications) remove the sign weekly and dry the vehicle surface and the back of the sign. This keeps moisture from collecting between the car and magnet.
Application Tips
Before application be sure to clean the surface and the back of the magnet with warm water and a mild non-abrasive detergent. Once you have a clean surface and magnet add a small coating of car wax to the back of your magnet. Waxing your car prior to application may be enough.
Let one edge of the sign contact the vehicle in the desired position. Then let the magnetic force do the work as it positions the sign in place from starting edge to opposite edge. If the sign is out of position, peel it off and repeat. Make sure the sign is smooth against the vehicle with no trapped air underneath. In winter, for conformability purposes, the temperature of the sign should be a minimum of 50°F, but the temperature of the vehicle surface matters little.
Some surfaces require special attention after application. Surfaces such as vinyl decals and metallic finishes should be checked on a weekly basis for the first 90 days. For magnets that experience heavy sun exposure a heavier coat of wax will help prevent damage from trapped water and road salts/chemicals.
OTHER TIPS and NOTABLE FACTS:
StickyLife.com car magnets are not intended for applications where
petrochemical contact may occur. For example: next to your car’s gas tank.
Substrate selection, exposure angle, environmental conditions, and maintenance will affect actual performance. Continuous exposure in regions that experience maximum sunny days will result in decreased performance and may cause the magnet to stick to the car in a semi-permanent fashion.
Remove sign after a snowfall or rain, wipe dry and reapply. Also, remove signs before pressure washing, especially in winter, as most car washes use de-icing chemicals that could damage the sign face.
Our car magnets have a five-year exterior durability rating. The magnetic strength is permanent and will not decrease over time.
If you ever experience an issue with your car magnet please feel free to contact us and let us know about it. Following these care and maintenance tips will help provide you with optimal results.
