Maintaining magnetic stickers
A magnetic sticker can be a practical and flexible solution for vehicle advertising. Proper maintenance helps to keep the magnetic sticker clean, tidy, and suitable for reuse.
Especially when you regularly remove and reapply a magnetic sticker, it's important to keep both the magnet and the vehicle surface clean.
In this guide, you will learn how to maintain, clean, store, and inspect a magnetic sticker for reuse.
Why maintenance is important
A magnetic sticker is placed directly on a vehicle's bodywork during use. Dust, sand, moisture, and other dirt can therefore accumulate between the magnet and the vehicle.
By regularly checking and cleaning the magnetic sticker, you keep both the advertising surface and the underlying surface tidy.
Less dirt accumulation
Regular cleaning helps to reduce accumulated dirt and dust on the magnetic sticker.
Tidy appearance
A clean magnetic sticker ensures that your business advertisement remains professional and clearly visible.
Suitable for reuse
Proper storage and regular inspection are important if you want to remove and reapply the magnetic sticker frequently.
How to keep a magnetic sticker clean
It is best to regularly check a magnetic sticker and clean it when dirt is visible. The vehicle's underlying surface also deserves attention.
Remove the magnetic sticker
Gently remove the magnetic sticker from the vehicle before cleaning it.
Remove loose dirt
Remove visible dust and loose dirt from the surface before further cleaning.
Clean carefully
Carefully clean the magnetic sticker with a suitable soft cloth and then allow the surface to dry thoroughly.
Check before reuse
Check the magnetic sticker and the vehicle surface before reapplying the sticker.
Also keep the car body clean
Not only the magnetic sticker itself, but also the surface on which it is placed must be clean. Dirt between the magnet and the bodywork can affect the adhesion.
- Regularly check the surface under the magnet
- Remove dust, sand, and other dirt
- Ensure the surface is clean and dry before placement
- Pay special attention to the edges of the magnetic sticker
- Do not place the magnet back on a contaminated surface
Store your magnetic sticker correctly
If you are not using the magnetic sticker temporarily, the way you store it is important. It is best to store a magnetic sticker clean and flat.
Avoid sharp creases, kinks, and heavy objects lying on the magnetic sticker for extended periods.
Inspect your magnetic sticker regularly
Especially if you use the magnetic sticker for a long time or regularly remove and reapply it, it is wise to perform a brief check regularly.
Check the edges
Check if the edges are still tidy and show no signs of curling or damage.
Check the surface
Inspect the advertising surface for dirt, damage, or other visible issues.
Check the car body
Also inspect the vehicle surface when you remove the magnetic sticker.
Check before placement
Only reapply a magnetic sticker when both the magnet and the underlying surface are clean and suitable.
Things to avoid
A few simple points of attention help to keep the magnetic sticker tidy and suitable for regular use.
Do not fold sharply
Avoid sharp folds or kinks when removing or storing the magnetic sticker.
Do not reapply dirty
Do not place the magnet back on a dirty or wet car body.
Do not leave on unnecessarily
If you do not need the magnetic sticker temporarily, you can remove and store it correctly.
