Magnum Magnetics – Use, Care & Cleaning (PDF)
- To guard against moisture and dirt buildup between the magnet and the metal surface, remove the magnet at regular intervals.
- The front of the magnetic can be cleaned with Windex. The brown magnetic back may be cleaned with soapy water. Wipe with a soft cloth or allow to air dry.
- To protect fresh clear coat, base coat and/or vinyl surfaces on new cars and trucks, remove magnetic signs daily.
- Affix to a smooth, flat or gently curved metallic surface.
- Make sure the entire magnet is flat against the metal surface with no air pockets.
- To reposition the magnet, remove the entire magnet from the surface and reaffix. Do not pull the magnetic sign across the surface, as it may stretch.
- Avoid use on horizontal metal surfaces exposed to direct sunlight (such as automobile hoods) or temperatures exceeding 150 degrees F.
- 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 magnet-covered area is shielded from ultraviolet rays.
- Avoid use on non-metallic body fillers, simulated wood grain siding and repainted surfaces.
- Avoid excess driving speeds when using your magnetics as they may blow off if not properly cared for.
- Remove magnetics in areas where they may be stolen, as this can happen.
- Before affixing your magnetic sign to your vehicle, be sure all surface paints, clear coats and waxes are cured (hardened).*
*approx. curing times: paint – 90 days; clear coat – 60 days; wax – 2 days
- Clean the metallic surface with Windex and allow to dry.
- When not using your flexible magnetic sign, keep it in a clean, dry place.
- Store your magnetic flat. Be sure they are on a level surface. Avoid placing objects on top that could damage the face. Do not stack with magnetic sides facing each other.
