How to Apply Magnetic Signs to Your Vehicle

• Clean the vehicle surface thoroughly before applying — dust, dirt and wax residue can reduce adhesion
• Apply to a flat or gently curved metal surface — avoid highly curved panels or plastic and fibreglass panels
• Smooth the sign from the centre outward to remove any air bubbles
• Remove regularly to clean both the sign and the vehicle surface underneath

How to Store Magnetic Signs

• Store flat or rolled — never fold, as this can crease the magnetic material
• Keep away from other magnets and metal objects to prevent warping
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use

Frequently Asked Questions

Our magnetic signs are printed on 0.85mm white gloss magnetic vinyl — a thin, flexible and durable material that adheres securely to metal surfaces and peels off cleanly without leaving a mark or damaging paintwork.

No — magnetic signs are designed to be applied and removed repeatedly without scratching or marking vehicle paintwork. To protect your vehicle's finish, remove the signs regularly and clean both the sign and the vehicle surface underneath. Avoid applying to freshly painted or waxed surfaces.

Magnetic signs adhere to metal surfaces only — they will not stick to plastic, fibreglass or aluminium body panels. Most standard steel-bodied cars and vans are suitable. Check your vehicle's body material before ordering. Avoid applying to highly curved panels where the sign may lift at the edges.

Yes — our magnetic signs are fully weatherproof and built to withstand rain, wind and sunshine. However, we recommend removing signs before driving at very high speeds or in extreme weather conditions to prevent the edges from lifting.

Yes — magnetic signs adhere to any flat metal surface including office doors, shopfronts, metal display stands and machinery. This makes them a versatile advertising tool beyond vehicle use.

A magnetic sign is a removable, reusable display that can be applied and removed as needed — ideal for businesses that use personal vehicles for work or want flexibility to update their messaging. A vehicle wrap is a permanent or semi-permanent vinyl applied directly to the vehicle's bodywork for a full branded finish. Magnetic signs are more affordable and flexible; vehicle wraps provide a more comprehensive, permanent result. See our magnetic signs vs vehicle wraps guide for more information.
