BANNERS

Always roll banners vinyl side out. Vinyl side in will cause things to crack and peel.

*Store inside a cardboard tube. Never tie tightly or use an elastic. It will eventually cut into the banner.

*Clean with a damp cloth. You can use detergents, but sparingly and quickly. Don't let it sit on the banner or vinyl.

*Trim any loose ends of vinyl to keep things looking neat.

* If you own a new car, make sure the area you want to place the magnet is metal and not plastic or fiberglass. Older model cars may have had body work. Magnets will not stick to body fill. If you vehicle is one of these, you may want to consider direct-to-paint application.

*When not in use, magnets should be sticking to a metal surface such as a file cabinet or fridge. NEVER place them near computer equipment, watches or cds of any kind.

*Make sure both surfaces are clean. Don't drag to position. Pick up, re-position and then re-place to the vehicle.

*High speeds, winds, rains and water levels could make your magnets airborne. So can carwashes. It's best to remove them during these times.

*Take the magnets off the vehicle every now and then, especially if the vehicle sits in direct sunlight for long periods of time. When re-placing them, don't put them back in the exact same spot.

*Never roll magnets to store.

*Don't have untrimmed edges on the magnets. This could result in losing it during traveling.

*Whether it's commercial application or the most extreme side kit we have, the care and maintenance is the same.

*There are times when installation does not go perfectly well and there may be small bubbles in the vinyl. This could be air from 'dry applying' the vinyl, or it could be 'wet apply', a developed solution that makes vinyl application go smoother. Time is the answer for this and sunlight and warmth makes these bubbles disappear within about a week.

*Never use a pressure washer for the first few weeks after installation. After that, make sure the washer nozzle is not close to the vinyl. When washing, take note of any curves, especially around the doors and handles and around gas covers and windows. Make sure the vinyl is completely stuck and clean.

*Trimming any edges that do not stick will keep the installation looking fresh.

*All printed vinyl is covered with a UV/ Waterproofing coating. But it does not prevent damage from rubbing and scraping. The key to this is simply being careful.
