- Rectangle/Square
- Oval
- Circle
Magnetic car signs are also available in custom shapes and sizes to make your message stand out even more. To personalize your car magnets, choose Custom Size and Custom Shape from the dropdown menu.
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.

The 30 PT Magnetic Stock used for our Car Magnets is the industry standard for these products due to its durability and magnetic strength. We take very seriously what customers have to say about our products and our production team continue to alway make sure we are sourcing the best materials from what is available in the market. We sell thousands of these magnets every month so we are very conscious of the feedback of our customers considering it is one the most in demand products we offer.
We also try to advise our customers to make sure that the surface of the vehicle is clear of any residue or dust and that it is as flat as possible so that there are no air pockets or spaces between the magnet and where it is placed. This has a crucial impact on how well the magnets adhere. Further, we also need to remind the customer to check if the surface is suitable and is ferromagnetic (high level of iron, steel, nickel and/or cobalt). There are some vehicles that may have a strong ceramic, fiberglass or aluminum content on the body that are obviously non-magnetic. We also have encountered situations there maybe some repair may have been done and some epoxy coating was present which will not make the magnets work.
Yes. we have had very little feedback that these actually come off at high speed. Just be sure the surface is flat and free of any dirt or grime when the magnet is installed. Also, the magnets only stick to metal surfaces that are primarily made of iron, steel, nickel, cobalt among others. Please make sure the surface you need them to stick to is not made of fiberglass, hard plastic, aluminum, copper, brass, lead, silver or stainless steel. Also they will not stick to surfaces that have epoxy fillers from any previous bodywork.
Please extend your background 1/8" outside of the trim line. If you have any important design elements, please place them 1/8" inside of the trim line. This is our safe zone to make sure there will be no chance of any of these elements being cut inadvertently.
If you have time and to make sure, please order our Large Format Swatch Kit and include a note to include a swatch of the Car Magnet or a Dry Erase Magnetic Whiteboard.
