Magnetic Sign Car Care Guidelines

SURFACE PREPARATION

The vehicle's surface should be waxed a minimum of 48 hours prior to applying magnetic sheeting.  For new vehicles or newly painted vehicles, allow approximately 90 days for the paint to totally cure before applying.  Wipe the surface of the vehicle with a clean dry cloth before application and make sure that all grime, dust and dirt has been removed.

INSTALLATION

It's best to apply magnetic sheeting when the temperature of the magnet is near room temperature or about 68 degrees F.  Carefully align one edge of the flexible magnetic sheeting to the vehicle's surface.  Allow the remainder of the sheet to apply itself to the vehicle's surface.  Don't allow any air pockets to form under the magnetic sheeting.  If it isn't aligned properly, be sure to completely remove the sheeting and start over again.  Don't pull or drag to realign.  This can damage and stretch the material.

REMOVAL

Remove magnetic sheeting periodically to guard against moisture and dirt buildup.  On vehicles, it's recommended to remove daily to ensure that the vehicle and the magnetic sheet surfaces are clean and free of roadway debris.  Dirt and moisture trapped between magnetic sheeting and your vehicle can damage its finish.

CLEANING

Clean magnetic sheeting with a mild detergent as well as the metallic surface it's being re-applied to, wipe with a soft cloth and allow to dry.  This will help to lengthen the life of your product and will help protect the surface of your vehicle.

STORAGE

It's recommended to store magnetic sheeting in a clean dry area at room temperature or about 68 degrees F.  If rolling, roll with printed or non-magnetic side out.  Store on end to avoid any flat spots.  When storing flat, store on a clean, smooth, flat surface.  Don't stack magnetic side to magnetic side due to the potential of wrinkling caused by improper pole alignment.

CAUTION

Avoid using on repainted surfaces, non-metallic body fillers and wood grain vinyl siding.

NOTE

Failure to follow the guidelines may cause damage to the applied surface and/or the magnetic material itself.  SignsEASY can't accept and will not be held liable for any damage caused by abuse, missuse or the failure to follow these important procedures.
