Will magnets stick to cars? Will they damage car paint?
Our magnets have a 65-pound per square foot pull strength, allowing them to securely adhere to cars and stay put at highway speeds. Their durable material resists rain, snow, and sleet. Made from 15mil (0.38mm) material, they offer a stronger hold, better adhesion, and a more aerodynamic design than the 20mil (0.5mm) or 30mil (0.726mm) magnets sold by many competitors.
Flexible magnets generally won't damage car paint if used properly, but we recommend the following best practices to keep your car and your magnet in good shape.
- Apply to a clean, flat metal surface with no dents or deep curves.
- Remove and reposition regularly (weekly is ideal). Be sure to remove any trapped dirt or debris and clean any moisture that might have collected under the magnet.
- Store flat when not in use to prevent warping.
- Avoid applying over decals or vinyl wraps.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat (such as direct sun), which may compromise the magnet's backing.
