How to Apply and Care for your Magnetic Signs



Magnetic signs are a great way to transform an ordinary vehicle into a "rolling advertisement" without having any permanent graphics applied to your vehicle. Magnetic signs are easily applied and easily removed. They are very popular for people that use their personal vehicle for work, but still want to advertise their company. They are also popular for people that live or work in areas where "work trucks" are not allowed.

The following article will give you some tips on how to apply and position your magnetic signs to your vehicle. We will also give you some advice on how to care for your magnetic signs so they will last for a very long time.


Applying and Positioning
Applying your magnetic signs to your vehicle is a very simple process as there is no adhesive involved at all. It is literally as simple as sticking a magnet to your refrigerator. Positioning your magnetics, on the other hand, can be a bit tricky. First, clean both the car and the back of the magnetic sign. Soap and water is all you need. To position your sign, we recommend holding your magnetic sign by the sides, allowing it to dip in the middle, forming a "U" shape. Place the center (low part of the "U") first, and then place the sides. This technique better allows you to see if your sign is straight. If you don't like the position of your sign, DO NOT slide your magnetic into place. Sliding it will cause you do drag any debris from the car right across your car's paint job. Simply lift the magnetic off of your vehicle, and reposition it again until you are satisfied.


Care and Maintenance
  • Store your magnetic signs on a flat surface. Keeping your signs on wavy surfaces will cause your magnetics to become wavy, especially in cold weather. If this happens, it is more likely that your signs may come off during driving.
  • Clean your magnetics regularly. Every couple of weeks, remove your signs, and clean the back of them as well as the area of your vehicle that you use your signs.
  • DO NOT drive on the expressway with your signs on your vehicle. Although the bond of magnetic signs is very strong, they are not made to withstand the winds caused by traveling at high speeds.
  • Remove your magnetic signs before going through a car wash. The high pressure hoses, as well as the brushes in car washes can knock your signs off your vehicle.
