🧲 Van & Car Magnetic Signs: Your Questions Answered

If you want flexible vehicle branding, Van Magnetic Signs and Car Magnetic Signs are a smart choice. They’re cost-effective, easy to apply, and you can remove them whenever you like. Here are the most common questions people ask about magnetic car stickers and signs.

Do Van Magnetic Signs stay on at motorway speeds?

Yes — when fitted correctly to a clean, flat surface, vehicle-grade magnetic signs will stay on at speeds up to 70mph. At Griffin Signs, we only use strong magnets designed for vans and cars.

Will they damage my paintwork?

No — if used correctly. Magnetic signs won’t damage your paintwork, and can even help protect panels from UV fading.

⚠️ Important:

• Never apply signs to freshly sprayed paintwork — allow at least 90 days after respraying.

• Avoid fitting to freshly waxed panels — leave 3–5 days after waxing before applying.

• Always make sure both the magnet and surface are clean before fitting, to prevent trapped dirt.

  
  

Are Car Magnetic Signs legal in the UK?

✅ Yes. Car Magnetic Signs and Van Magnetic Signs are fully legal in the UK. They’re popular with self-employed trades, small businesses, and anyone who doesn’t want permanent graphics.

Can magnetic signs be used in the rain?

Absolutely. A magnetic car sticker or van sign is waterproof and weatherproof. They’ll hold in heavy rain and wind, but it’s best to remove and clean them regularly to keep the magnetic bond strong.

How long do magnetic signs last?

With proper care, magnetic car stickers and van signs can last 3–5 years. The key is regular maintenance.

Do I need to clean and maintain magnetic signs?

Yes. For the best life span and safest use:

• Remove your signs weekly and clean both the magnet and the vehicle surface.

• Store them flat when not in use.

• Avoid folding or rolling.

• In winter, take them off more often to prevent salt or grit from building up.

This quick routine stops dirt from scratching the paint and helps your magnets last longer.
