1.    Prior to application, clean the metallic surface and the Product with a mild detergent. Wipe with a soft cloth and allow to dry.
  • For best results, apply the Product at room temperature.
  • Use care in handling the Product in extremely cold conditions, as the magnetic material can become brittle.
  • Long-term outdoor usage of magnets on painted surfaces may result in fading, due to shielding the underlying color from ultraviolet rays.
  • This car door magnet is not for use under water or on aircraft.
  • Make sure to remove the car door magnet from any vehicle before a car wash.
2.    Determine the location to place the product
  • Before affixing the Product to a metal surface, be sure all surface paints, clear coats and waxes are cured or hardened. Approximate curing times are: paint - 90 days, clear coat - 60 days, wax - 2 days.
  • Choose a location that is smooth, flat, or only mildly curved and metallic.
  • Don't apply the Product on an area that isn't steel or that has extensive non-metallic fillers. Aluminum, wood or fiberglass will not function as a surface.
3.    Affix the Product onto the surface.
  • Ensure the Product is flat over the entire surface.
  • Ensure that there are no air pockets and that the corners and edges are smooth and flush with the the surface.
  • Curvature on the edges of the Product may result in the sign falling off.
  • To adjust the location of the Product after placement, remove completely and reposition by lifting at the sides to remove, not the corners. Please note that sliding the Product into position may cause stretching.
