Magnetic Sign Preparation, Use & Care

Q.   Do vehicles need special preparation before applying Safemag/Ultra Mag signs?
A.   Simply both the vehicle surface and the brown magnetic side should be clean and dry the vehicle should be waxed prior to applying.

Q.   What is the best way to apply a magnetic sign?
A.    Let one edge of the sign contacts the vehicle in the desire position. Then let the magnetic power do the work as it puts the sign into place from the edge where you started to the edge of the opposite if the sign is not exactly where you want it, peel it off, reposition the starting edge and repeat. Make sure the entire surface of sign is smoothly against the vehicle with no air pockets underneath in winter the temperature of the sign should be about 50 degrees f during installation, but the temperature of the vehicle surface does not matter.

Q.   Do any surfaces present problems?
A.    Care should be taken with wood grain paneling and metallic finishes. Such surfaces should be weekly for the first 90 days of use. A generous waxing of both the surface where the sign will be place and the back of the q sign itself will help prevent damage.

Q.   What sign maintenance is recommended?
A.    Remove the sign weekly and wipe dry both the magnetic side and the surface of the vehicle. During warmer humid it is recommended to remove the sign every three to four days. This keeps moisture from collecting, which can potentially damage a vehicle’s surface. Simply wash it with warm water and mild detergent. Remove sign after snowfall and rain-wipe dry.

Q.   What special precautions must be taken storing signs?
A.    Avoid wrinkling by storing in a 3 inch diameter roll with the printed side of the sign pointed to the outside of the roll, or store the sign flat. Since safemag/ultra-mag is permanently magnetic. You need not to protect against magnetic destruction.anything else is just common sense-like don’t put heavy things on or against signs in storage.

Q.   Any other tips and suggestions?
A.    Corner rounding prevents dog-eared corners. Custom shapes should utilize rounded contours rather than sharp angles for best results.
