INTERIOR/EXTERIOR ADA SIGNAGE
PROPER CLEANING GUIDELINES:

To remove typical dirt and grime, a common household dish washing detergent mixed with water can be used safely. Apply with a clean soft cloth, remove with a clean wet cloth and either dry or pat dry gently. Cotton clothes or soft sponges may also be used. NEVER use brushes or other abrasive materials as they can scratch or rupture the paint film.

To remove oils and grease, a soft cloth dampened with a mild wax and grease removing solvent can be used. There are many varieties of solvents available from automotive paint supplies, but DX 330 from PPG and 45-330 from Mathews Paint are two of the most popular and effective. Other strong industrial cleaners and grease removing agents are not recommended as they can be very aggressive.

How to use and care for magnetic vehicle signs:

Installation-

Make contact of one edge of the sign to the vehicle surface in the desired location and then let the adjacent part of the sign contact the vehicle surface until the entire sign is held magnetically to the vehicle. If the sign is not in the desired position, remove the sign and repeat the above steps. Do not try to straighten the sign by pulling it when it is on the vehicle, it could scratch your vehicle and or stretch the magnetic material. Avoid placing your sign over chrome trim or surface protrusions of any kind. The temperature of the sign should be at least 60 degrees F. during installation. The temperature of the vehicle surface does not matter.

Removal-

Always remove the sign by lifting from the center of the two opposite sides... never start at the corners. This precaution will avoid bent corners and reduced adhesion.

Caution-

Magnetic signs will not adhere to areas on your vehicle where plastic or lead body fillers have been used. Use caution in applying vehicle signs to areas of your vehicle that have been damaged and repaired in order to avoid loosing your magnetic signs. New paint jobs take time to cure properly. We suggest you wait 60 days before positioning a sign on a freshly painted car.

Maintenance-

Your signs should be removed....once a week minimum. Wipe dry both the vehicle and the back of the sign. Trapped moisture, dirt or chemicals may harm your vehicle finish. Clean your sign with plain water and a mild detergent.

Storage-

To avoid cracking or breaking, do not fold or crease. Store your magnetic sign laying flat.
