Vehicle Magnet Use and Care
In order to maximize the value and use of your magnetic signs, it is important to read and follow the directions below:
PAINT PREP - Before affixing magnetic sheet to a metal surface, be sure all surface paints, clear coats and waxes are cured (hardened).* Magnetic signs will not work on Emron paint, vehicles with non-magnetic body panels such as fiberglass on Corvettes, aluminum on certain rigs, and plastic on Saturn cars, nor vehicles that have been painted numerous times or have been repaired with Bondo. *(Approx. curing times: paint-90 days; clear coat-60 days; wax-2 days. Please consult an auto paint professional for more details or specific information)
BEFORE USE - Clean and dry both the vehicle and magnetic sign prior to application. Dirt or dust on either the vehicle or the magnetic sign can cause scratching of the painted surface.
WEEKLY CARE - Remove and clean magnetics and your vehicle at least once a week to avoid magnetic polarization of the paint on the vehicle. Clean with a mild soap and water solution. Then wipe dry your vehicle and the magnetics prior to placing the magnetics back on your vehicle.
STORING - When not in use, store magnetic signs flat, NEVER fold or roll magnetic signs. A good smooth flat surface would be the back or sides of a filing cabinet or a refrigerator.
NOTES: 1) Magnetic signs are designed to work on flat or slightly curved surfaces only. They are NOT designed to work over moldings or indentations.
2) Long-term use on surfaces frequently exposed to sunlight can result in uneven fading of the surface because the magnet-covered area is shielded from ultraviolet rays.
3) Avoid use on horizontal surfaces exposed to direct sunlight or temps >150°F.
