How to Install Car Magnets
Installing car magnets takes only a couple of minutes. Before using them, find the best spot where customers will see your advertisements. Car magnets are usually installed in two places:
- Side of the vehicle – Side placement makes it easy for customers to see your magnetic sign while your vehicle is parked on the street.
- Back of the vehicle – If your vehicle is on the move, back placement lets the drivers behind you to see your message.
Now it’s time to put the magnets in place. Here’s how to do it:
- Before installing, place the magnet on a flat magnetic surface for at least 24 hours to flatten it.
- Wipe the vehicle surface and back of the magnet with a wet cloth and detergent. Let dry.
- Place one end of the magnet in the desired position. Line up the other edge of the magnet, making sure that it’s flat against the metal surface.
Note: Make sure that the vehicle surface is flat and entirely metal where the magnet will be placed. Avoid installing on surfaces where there are protrusions (molding, decals, pinstripes, etc) because these will prevent the magnet from sticking securely to your vehicle.
Extend the Life of Car Magnets
Magnetic car signs are durable, but with proper care, you can use these signs for as long as two (2) years.
When cleaning your vehicle, remove the magnet to clean debris from the vehicle surface. This will help extend the magnetic hold of the magnet and prevent any damage to the car sign.
If you will not be using the car magnets for a long period, store them flat and away from direct sunlight.

Car Magnets FAQs
Magnets do not cause any paint damage when installed carefully. However, they do not always adhere well to fresh paint. To avoid scratches on your newly painted vehicle and ensure that the magnet stays on, we recommend waiting for the paint to cure or harden for 90 days.
Car magnets stick on most metals. When installing magnetic car signs, take note of its placement. Most car doors are made of steel, which is well-suited to magnets. However, some car doors contain only a small amount of steel and are not suitable for car magnets. Before placing an order, test if your car door is magnetic by attaching a small magnet to it. But if you are going to mount it elsewhere on the vehicle, the magnet may not stick properly. Carbon fiber, plastic, and brass are not ideal for magnet placements.
