They are very affordable, they\u2019re easily replaceable, and they last as long as two years or more.

Prior to slapping the magnet on, we recommend cleaning the exterior of your vehicle on which the car magnet will live. Additionally, wipe down the back of the magnet (the side that will connect with the car) with a damp cloth. If you feel like doing a touch more pampering to your newly purchased PR display, feel free to employ a mix of mild detergent and water when wiping down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-27.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-27.png 624w, https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-27-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The Earth is Flat?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, not really. That theory was debunked 2,500 years ago. Concerning your magnet, you should place it on your vehicle believing in that old philosophy. Kooky history and science reference? Sure, understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"304\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-28.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-28.png 304w, https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/image-28-300x164.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 304px) 100vw, 304px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>round<\/em>about point of it was to drive home the fact that your magnet should be positioned on a flat surface of your car. Under no circumstances should it rest on curves, bumps, wheel wells, or moldings. If you put it in one of these spots, that magnet might not rest for long. If placed on a curved wheel well or the like, it can curl, which makes it susceptible to flying off the car if wind catches an area that is not firmly against the metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Car Washes Kill:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You bought that car magnet to make your company shine as you cruise around town <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/car-magnet-advertising-your-mobile-billboard\/\">advertising your biz<\/a>. It would make sense that you\u2019d want to keep your vehicle looking clean as well.

Both have a propensity to permanently damage your magnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>And Finally:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend that you preserve the health and longevity of your car magnet by removing it frequently. It\u2019s not critical that you do so on a daily basis. But removing and cleaning your car\u2019s application surface and the back of the magnet regularly will go a long way in maximizing the purchase of your mobile advertising unit. When you remove and clean, you\u2019ll probably want to bring the custom car magnet inside, or minimally into the garage. Basically, store your magnet when not in use in a dry area, void of direct sunlight, and laid flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/goodguyssigns_logo-1-1024x405.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/goodguyssigns_logo-1-1024x405.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/goodguyssigns_logo-1-300x119.png 300w, https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/goodguyssigns_logo-1-768x304.png 768w, https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/goodguyssigns_logo-1.png 1051w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><strong>www.goodguyssigns.com<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If placed on a curved wheel well or the like, it can curl, which makes it susceptible to flying off the car if wind catches an area that is not firmly against the metal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":479,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[79,132,131,146,141,145,139,142,147,138,128,130,143,140,144],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/482"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=482"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/482\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6433,"href":"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/482\/revisions\/6433"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goodguyssigns.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
