Car Magnet Q&A: Make The Right Choice For Vehicle Marketing In Houston, TX

If you want to take your marketing message on the road to reach new audiences, boost brand awareness, and promote new products, car magnets are definitely worth considering.

While wraps, graphics, and decals are widely used by Houston business owners, car magnets have some unique advantages.

If they are new to you, or you want to learn more about these products before you place an order, you’ve come to the right place. The team at The Custom Sign & Graphics Haus will help you make the right decision.

Top-8 Consumer Questions About Car Magnets In Houston, TX

1. Why choose car magnets over traditional vehicle wraps and graphics?

 

For starters, car magnets are more economical than wraps and graphics, while still bringing your business all the benefits of vehicle marketing.

But that’s not all—they also offer several unique advantages over full wraps and graphics, including:

● Fast turnaround time, so you can meet your marketing deadlines and start driving sales on short notice

● Speedy installation and removal, taking seconds to complete with proper surface preparation

● Easy repositioning, so you can easy adjust or add to your vehicle sign system for more agile marketing (Note: when repositioning your car magnets, lift from the sides, not the corners, and avoid pulling or sliding the magnet across the surface of your vehicle in case any dirt, grit, or other scratchy contaminants are trapped between the magnet and body) 

2. Do car magnets work on all vehicles?

No; car magnets only work on vehicles with steel body panels. Some vehicles, such as Corvettes, use composite-material bodies (e.g. hand-laid fiberglass or press-molded fiberglass), which are nonmagnetic.

If you are a Corvette owner, or you drive another vehicle made with nonmagnetic materials, vehicle wraps, graphics, and decals will be your best bet.

 

3. Will car magnets damage my vehicle? 

No. When used properly, car magnets will not damage your paint job. On the contrary, they will shield the paint beneath them from UV rays and weathering.

That said, using car magnets improperly can damage your vehicle. To prevent any damage, we recommend:

● Cleaning car magnets and the underlying area on a weekly basis

● Avoiding pulling or sliding your car magnets across the surface of your vehicle

● Removing car magnets before using brush car washes

When in doubt, contact our car magnet experts in Houston, TX.

4. Do car magnets come off in bad weather or at highway speeds?

No. Our car magnets are highway tested, specifically designed for outdoor use, and capable of standing up to strong winds and heavy rain. Just make sure your magnet is 100% flat against the body of your vehicle, with no air bubble or turned up corners, so that air cannot get underneath. 

5. How long do car magnets last?

With proper use, maintenance, and storage, our high-quality, UV-resistant car magnets can last 2 to 5 years or more.

6. How do I maintain my car magnet?

To keep your car magnet looking its best and max out its service life, you should remove it for cleaning on a regular basis.

Use a clean cloth, warm water, and a mild detergent, then allow it to dry thoroughly. You should also clean the surface underneath. The entire process should only take a couple of minutes.

Weekly cleanings are standard, but this recommendation may change depending on your unique driving needs and road/weather conditions. When in doubt, ask our experts.

 

7. Can I take car magnets through the car wash?

We do not recommend it, as brushes and water pressure can cause your magnet to slide across the surface of your vehicle, which could leave scratches if any dirt or grit is trapped underneath.

But that doesn’t mean you need to hand-wash your vehicle or pay premiums for touchless options. This is another unique advantage car magnets have over graphics and wraps: they can be removed in seconds, right outside the carwash, so you can go anywhere without worry.

 

8. How do I store car magnets safely?

Once removed, you should lay your car magnet flat in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding, stacking pairs with the magnetic sides facing each other, or leaving them in direct sunlight. To keep them flat and avoid any stacking issues, many clients stuck them on the side of their filing cabinet, counter, or refrigerator.
