Do Car Magnets Stay on During Car Wash?

Find out whether car magnets can survive an automatic car wash. Learn how to care for your magnetic decals and what Stickeey recommends.

Short Answer: Remove Before Washing

Car magnets are not designed to withstand the intense pressure, water jets, and brushes of automatic car washes. Stickeey recommends removing your magnet sticker before any type of wash to avoid loss or damage.

What Happens If You Don’t Remove It?

  • Magnets may fly off or shift under pressure
  • Brushes can damage the print or edges
  • Water trapped under the magnet can affect paint

Hand Washing Is Safer

If you hand wash your car, you can leave the magnet on as long as you avoid spraying high-pressure water directly at the edges and gently wash around it.

Stickeey Care Tip

For the longest lifespan and best appearance, remove your magnet sticker before washing, dry it completely, and reapply to a clean, dry surface.

Conclusion

To protect your magnet and your car, always remove the sticker before going through a car wash. Stickeey magnets are durable, but proper care makes them last even longer.
