Instructions

    • 1

      Use a soft, clean, damp cloth to gently clean the area of any loose dirt or debris that might scratch the car.

    • 2

      Use a hair dryer to heat the magnet. It might help to park the car near an electrical outlet or use a hair dryer that is battery operated. Do not use a heat gun as this will damage the car's finish.

    • 3

      Lift the edge of the magnet with a plastic edge gently as it heats and becomes more pliable.

    • 4

      Use soapy water to spray underneath the magnet and help to lubricate. Keep pulling on the magnet until it is free.

    • 5

      Wash the area with the warm, soapy water and a soft, clean cloth to remove any residual.

Tips & Warnings

  • Avoid use of any harsh chemicals or abrasives that might damage the paint.
