Custom Vehicle Magnets

If the artwork looks familiar to you, that’s because a previous blog was done on a previous project we worked on with this client, Down Under Services, but we had to share the vehicle magnets we did for them as well. This landscaping company wanted to make sure you knew who they were, by making a banner to display while on the job, yard signs to leave on current customer’s lawns (both in previous blog) and now while on their way to a job by getting vehicle magnets. Magnets are a great way to advertise on your vehicle for 2 reasons: 1) It is mobile advertisement that you don’t have to pay a monthly fee for because it is on your own vehicle(s) and 2) it’s not permanent, so you can cruise in your work truck during the day and then take that magnet right off and it’s just your every day vehicle. We actually created a couple of different sizes for this client to fit 2 different vehicles. The sizes pictured are 24″ x 18″ and 24″ x 24″. We can create magnets at various sizes, so let us know what you would like and we’ll help advertise your company!

Some tips on making sure you apply your car magnet right (we don’t want any of them falling off!)

How To Apply Car Magnet
• Affix to car magnet to smooth, flat or gently curved metallic surfaces.
• Make sure the entire car magnet or magnetic car sign is flat against the metal surface. Do not place car magnet over protrusions (molding, decals, pin striping, etc.) or concave areas. There must be NO air pockets.
• The car magnet itself should be at a room temperature of 60°F (16°C) or above when installed to
achieve best results.
• Do not apply car magnet that has been curled with the magnet side out. The car magnet may not
attach properly to the metallic surface resulting in lifted corners or air gaps which will weaken
its holding strength. Follow instructions for Storing Flexible Magnet.
• If you place the car magnet in the wrong position, completely remove the magnet from the
surface and reaffix. Lift at sides and not at corners to remove. Do not pull the car magnet across
the surface, or it may stretch due to the resistance caused by the high magnetic strength.
• Do NOT use magnetic car signs on horizontal metal surfaces exposed to direct sunlight (such as automobile hoods), temperatures exceeding 160ºF (71ºC) or temperatures below -15ºF (-26ºC).
Exposure to cold weather will make the magnet more brittle so use caution when handling.
• Be aware that long-term use on surfaces frequently exposed to sunlight (such as vehicles)
can result in uneven fading of the surface because the car magnet-covered area is shielded
from ultraviolet rays.
• Do NOT use magnetic car signs on non-metallic body fillers, simulated wood grain siding and repainted surfaces.
NOTE: Doors and panels on some vehicles are not made of steel. This product (magnetic car and truck door signs) will not work on aluminum and plastic surfaces.

Cleaning Flexible Magnet
• To guard against moisture and dirt buildup between the car magnet truck magnets and all magnetic car signs and the metal surface (particularly on outdoor applications), remove the magnet at regular intervals. Clean both the magnet and metal surface with mild detergent; wipe with a soft cloth or allow to air-dry. (For vehicle-mounted signs, remove and clean DAILY.)
• After waxing and polishing, allow 2 days for wax to cure before applying car magnet signs.
