Follow these simple tips and you should get years of service from a set of our vehicle magnetics. Visit Graphic Impact.com for more information.
Most of the time a problem will be caused by either a dirty vehicle or applying the magnetic when it is cold. Magnetic material becomes stiff and relatively inflexible when it is cold. When the sign is applied while it is cold and stiff, it does not properly grip the vehicle surface.
It's OK to put the magnetic sign on in cold weather, but the sign itself must be warm. That means you must store your magnetic signs in a warm place during cold weather or you must take the time to warm up your magnetic signs before applying them to your vehicle.
Also, the magnetic rips and tears very easily when it is cold. Always be careful when handling a cold magnetic sign.
Always apply a clean magnetic sign to a clean surface. It's a good idea to wipe off the area you will be placing the magnetic sign on with a soft damp cloth to remove any loose dirt that might be there. It's also a good idea to wipe off the back side of the sign too. If both surfaces are clean, then you should have no problems getting a good strong bond between the magnetic and the vehicle.
It's also very important to store your magnetics flat. Don't toss them in the trunk or the back of your pick up truck and pile other stuff up on top of them. Magnetic signs tend to take the form of whatever they are up against. If yours is in a folded, crumpled heap , you're going to have trouble flattening them out the next time you want to use them. If they are not flat when you apply them, they will not properly grip the vehicle surface.
