Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about custom car magnets — how they work, how long they last, and whether they’re right for your vehicle.

Do car magnets damage your paint?

No. Our magnets have a smooth, non-abrasive backing that grips your vehicle without any adhesive, so there is no residue and no risk to factory paint or clear coat. To keep paint in top shape, remove the magnet about once a week, wipe both the panel and the magnet clean, and let them dry before reattaching. Avoid placing magnets over dirt, sand, or areas with existing paint chips.

Will a car magnet fly off on the highway?

Properly sized magnets stay put at normal highway speeds when placed flat on a clean, smooth steel panel like a door or tailgate. For long trips at 70+ mph we recommend checking that the entire edge is flush with the body. Magnets are not designed for the hood or roof, where wind lift is highest.

How long do car magnets last?

With normal use and basic care, our magnets typically last 3 or more years. The printed surface is UV-protected and weather-resistant. Lifespan depends mostly on care — cleaning underneath regularly and storing the magnet flat when it is off the vehicle will keep the colors bright and the backing strong.

Do car magnets work on any vehicle?

Magnets work on steel body panels, which covers most cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans. They will not stick to aluminum, fiberglass, or plastic panels — some newer trucks, EVs, and sports cars use these materials. If you are unsure, hold a household magnet against the door: if it sticks, our magnets will too.

Can I go through a car wash with magnets on?

We recommend removing magnets before an automatic car wash, since high-pressure jets and brushes can catch an edge. Rain, snow, and hand washing are no problem. Storing the magnet flat while you wash also lets you clean the panel underneath.

Are the magnets removable and reusable?

Yes. That is the whole point — peel your branding on for work and off for personal time in seconds, with no adhesive and no damage. The same magnet can be reused for years across different vehicles as long as the panel is steel.

What sizes do you offer?

We offer three standard sizes to fit compact cars, sedans, SUVs, and pickup trucks. Not sure which fits your vehicle? See how it works or contact us and we will help you choose.

How do I design and order a custom car magnet?

Upload your logo or artwork on the product page, pick your size, and preview it on your vehicle before you order. You can add a custom logo, phone number, WhatsApp number, Instagram handle, or any custom text. Start at our customizer.

Every magnet is printed and cut by hand in South Florida, then shipped across the United States with free U.S. shipping. You will receive tracking as soon as your order ships. Need it fast for an event? Reach out and we will let you know current turnaround times.
