Frequently Asked Questions


Can I place the magnets anywhere on my car?
Anywhere but the roof (too much wind!) and hood (too hot!). All other metal surfaces are ready to be magnetically decorated. So have fun and be creative!

Will the magnets come off while I’m driving?
No. When used properly, all instant carma car magnets are manufactured to stay on your vehicle, even while driving at normal highway speeds and in almost all weather conditions. Of course, we’ve never tested them in a road race in Antartica, but we’re guessing you won’t, either.

Will the magnets damage the paint on my car?
No. That’s the beauty of instant carma car magnets. Unlike bumper stickers or decals, our magnets easily peel off and will not damage your car’s exterior. Talk about a no-brainer!

What about fading?
It happens - to your car’s paint exterior, that is. When exposed to sun, it’s only natural. To prevent uneven fading when using our magnets for a long period of time, occasionally move them around so that all car surfaces are given equal amounts of exposure.

Will adverse weather affect the magnets?
Maybe in Antartica (see above). Otherwise, instant carma magnets can be used anywhere, anytime because they’re waterproof and UV-coated.

I can use them even in a carwash?
Okay, no, not in a carwash. Think of your cars as your children. Would you give them a bath without first taking off their clothes?

What’s the capital of Rhode Island?
We’re not sure why we keep getting that question but the answer is Providence.

Are instant carma magnets re-usable?
Absolutely. Just store them according to package directions and you can use them year after year. Hello attic, here we come!

Can I use instant carma car magnets on my refrigerator?
As long as you’re not driving your refrigerator in a road race in Antartica. Otherwise, instant carma magnets can used on any metal surface - refrigerators, filing cabinets, forklifts. Hey, doesn’t your oil rig need a little sprucing up?

Can I put the refrigerator Christmas Tree magnet set on my car?
No. Unless you want your Christmas Tree magnet set scattered all over town. This magnet set is manufactured specifically for use on non-moving objects. Okay, you can move the fridge to vacuum behind it but who does that? And at Christmas?!

When can I get GameDay Dots in my team colors?
Soon, we hope. In the meantime, e-mail us and let us know which colors you want, so we’ll know what to order when we expand our product selection.

How can I hear about new instant carma products?
Join our e-mail list, and we’ll contact you whenever we add something. Or regularly visit our Web site to see what’s new.

Why does everything break down right after the warranty expires?
Sorry, but that’s outside the scope of our company. But as fellow sufferers, we sympathize.
