Winter Magnet Care Tips: Keep Your Signs Safe and Secure

The weather has turned on us again — bitter winds and freezing temps confirm that winter is here! In many areas, snow and ice mean road salt, which can take a toll on vehicles and signage. If you use magnetic signs on your car, truck, or fleet, a little extra care this season will go a long way in keeping them looking sharp and sticking strong.

Magnetic signs require more attention during winter than vinyl decals, especially in regions where salt and slush are common. Follow these simple maintenance steps:

1. Remove and clean your magnet daily using mild detergent and warm water.

2. Wipe down your vehicle’s surface where the magnet is applied to remove salt, dust, and grime.

3. Dry both surfaces completely before reapplying — trapped moisture can weaken the magnetic bond.

4. Store magnets flat indoors, never rolled or left inside a cold vehicle.

5. Allow magnets to reach room temperature before reinstalling so they stay flexible and grip tightly.

Keeping up with these quick steps will prevent damage, reduce fading, and keep your signs secure through snow, salt, and freezing temps.
