Magnetic Signs Look As If They Were Made For Your Car

Why Do I See So Many Magnetic Car Signs That Look So Bad?

My husband has considered getting magnetic car signs to promote his real estate business, but I have always been the naysayer regarding magnetic signs. I frequently see them tattered at the corners, dingy with dirt, or unfortunate car doors with a rash of rust stains in the shape of a rectangle where the magnetic sign used to be.

Fearing how unsightly our car would look, not to mention how unprofessional a worn looking magnetic sign might look, I have always begged him not to place one on his car. However, that was before I knew that magnetic sings did not have to look so bad. In fact, they can look great - professional, clean, and with no trace of the magnetic sign once they are removed from the car.

It turns out that how good or bad a magnetic car sign looks depends on a few factors, all of which are simple and affordable in maintaining a fresh, quality look for your car and your custom magnetic sign.

So go ahead and be open-minded to a custom magnetic sign for your car!

Magnetic ...
... Car Signs Are Custom Fit For Your Car

One mistake people make in ordering their magnetic car signs is failing to accurately measure the space on which they plan to apply the magnetic sign. They might assume that 'one size fits all' or simply guess at the dimensions. However, not all car doors are designed the same way.

Some doors have trim work where others do not, while other car doors may have more flat surface below the handle than above. Still, other car doors may be filled with plastic rather than metal, particularly after having some body work done, affecting how well a magnetic car sign might stick.

If a magnetic car sign does not have an uninterrupted, flat metallic surface on which to stick, then the results will look unprofessional if not render the magnetic sign completely worthless. So test your car door for metal by sticking a refrigerator on the place you plan to display your magnetic sign, and then measure the area and relay that information to the sign shop. Because your magnetic car sign is custom made, the magnet can be sized and shaped to any specification.

And when it comes to the shape of magnetic car signs, any original design or shape will attract more attention than a standard rectangular one. But depending on the graphic design and colors of your magnetic sign, a rectangular one can also be quite attractive and memorable. But be careful - many people believe than rectangular magnetic car signs with pointed corners can result in a frayed look after being removed multiple times.

It is often recommended to get rounded corners to prevent tattered looking corners when going with a rectangular shape.

How Do I Prevent A 'Ring Of Rust' Being Left On my Car Door?

The solution to the problem of 'rust rings' left by your magnetic car sign, and scratches, too, is quite simple. Just use a quality sign shop that uses ScratchGuard magnetic signs, and there will be no chance of any hint of a magnetic sign once it is removed.

ScratchGuard is a thin protective film that completely covers the magnetic car sign, preventing any damage to your car from the sign. Not all sign shops use ScratchGuard, so you need to investigate this before placing your order. ScratchGuard is a little more expensive than regular cheap magnetic signs, but because of the high demand for it, the cost should be negligible to you.

How Do I Keep My Magnetic Car Sign Clean Without Damaging The Image?

Your business looks only as good as your advertising, so you definitely want your magnetic car sign to look its best while promoting your name. And with your magnetic car sign going everywhere your car does, you're bound to run into some mud, fumes, and other elements that will eventually coat your magnetic sign with unsightly grime.

Just as you would never take any abrasive material to your car, do not clean your magnetic sign with any type of abrasive cleaner or product such as a paper towel. Just use warm water and a mild soap such as dish detergent, and with a soft cotton cloth.

A Custom Magnetic Sign Can Look As Professional As Any Other Sign!

With the right safeguards, a magnetic car sign can look clean, professional, and leave your car's paint job in tact. With that in mind, I am letting my husband order magnetic signs for his car with my blessing. Think of what such exposure can do for his business - and yours!
