Car magnets should ideally have a thickness of 30 mil and above to ensure a firm grip on the surface of the moving vehicle and withstand the winds. Lighter custom magnets may not make a good choice even if that means you can save a pretty penny.

The right way to choose and apply car magnets 

Car magnets should be applied on a flat surface on the vehicle that is devoid of creases, or grooves. Uneven surfaces make air pockets, which may prevent the magnets from sticking firmly on to the surface.

Always make sure to use car magnets that are fade resistant and outdoor safe that can withstand elements.

Car magnets with rounded corners can adhere better to the car door than  those with square corners. So, if you have a choice, it is better to settle for round corner magnets.

Most people say they have a hard time removing a car magnet once it is applied.  You can prevent this from happening by removing and cleaning car magnets on a weekly basis especially during summer months when the magnets are exposed to intense heat.  Leaving the magnets on the vehicles for a long time may make it difficult to remove it easily.

Make sure that the surface of the vehicle is free from dirt before putting the magnets on. The magnet should also be free of any dirt because it is the dirt that scratches the paint, not the magnet. While repositioning the magnet, carefully pluck off the magnet from the vehicle instead of dragging it along to the new spot. If you have had a recent paint job for the car, it is recommended to use magnets only after the paint is fully cured.
