Car Magnet 5″ (Set of Three)

Description

APPLICATION PREP FOR YOUR CUSTOM CAR MAGNETS

Some surfaces on your car or truck may require special attention. For example, vehicle surfaces that contain factory decals, pinstripes, and molded body panels may cause a separation between the surface and the magnet. Even a thin break between the magnet and vehicle surface may be all that is needed for air flow to get under the magnet and peel it off while driving down the road. We suggest checking these areas every week for the first 90 days.

How do I apply car magnets?

• Clean car
• Wax car and back of magnet
• Apply Magnet
• Remove weekly, especially before sending your vehicle through a car wash

CAR MAGNET APPLICATION PROCESS

Let one edge of the magnet contact the vehicle in the desired position. Then let the magnetic force work as it positions the sign from starting edge to the opposite edge. If the car magnet is out of place, peel it off and repeat. Do not slide the car magnet to obtain the proper position because any dirt trapped underneath the magnet may damage the vehicle’s surface coating. Ensure your personalized car magnet is smooth against the vehicle with no trapped air underneath. In winter, for conformability purposes, the temperature of the magnet should be a minimum of 50°F, but the temperature of the vehicle surface matters little.

CAR MAGNET MAINTENANCE

It is essential to clean the vehicle surface and back of the magnetic material before application. In addition, apply a thin layer of car wax to the vehicle surface and back side of the magnet, especially during the summer months. For car magnets with heavy sun exposure, a slightly heavier coat of wax is recommended during application. A heavier wax coating may help prevent damage from trapped water, dirt, and road chemicals.

Temporarily remove your custom car magnet before sending your vehicle through an automatic car wash. Many car washes use chemicals that may damage your car magnet. For vehicles (and many external applications), remove the magnet weekly and dry the vehicle surface and the back of the sign. Doing this will help keep moisture from collecting between the car and magnet.

• custom magnets for cars 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 decrease performance and may cause the magnet to stick to the car in a semi-permanent fashion.
• Remove the magnet after a snowfall or rain, wipe dry and reapply. Also, remove magnets before pressure washing, especially in winter, as most car washes use de-icing chemicals that could damage the magnet face.
