In this segment, we discuss "MEK MAGNET Removable Trail Armor," a fantastic solution for **paint protection** for your Jeep. We also provide a **quick installation guide** for this **magnetic armor**, making it simple to apply. This **jeep armor** is a must-have for any **jeep wrangler** owner looking to safeguard their vehicle. Hi there, Jeep fam! 🚙💨 Welcome back to another episode of the Jeep Talk Show! In this interview, we sit down with Monica Kolinsky, the founder of MEK Magnet and creator of Removable Trail Armor. Monica shares her journey from buying her first Jeep in 2015, diving straight into off-roading, to inventing a game-changing product after one too many trail scratches ruined her brand-new paint. What started as a personal need to protect her Jeep without sacrificing the best lines on the trail has grown into MEK Magnet — a company offering **removable, reusable protective armor** that's perfect for off-road adventures. 🔥 Key highlights from the interview: - Magnetic armor for steel Jeeps (rated up to ~85 mph) and revolutionary Nano-Hold Technology for aluminum Jeeps (holds at highway speeds — tested!) - No adhesives, no residue — wash it, air dry, and the stickiness comes back - Reusable for hundreds of applications when cared for properly - Custom designs, seasonal graphics (like the famous Ugly Sweater!), patriotic themes, and even wild ideas like bullet holes or company logos - New PPV (Paint Protection Vinyl) for permanent, lightweight protection - Solar Shield windshield covers with SpiderWebShade partnership — great for privacy, UV protection & towing - Fits Jeeps (TJ to JL, Gladiator), Ford Broncos, Toyota Tacoma & 4Runner, and more - Perfect for business signage, event branding, or just making your Jeep uniquely yours Monica also shares hilarious stories: getting out of a speeding ticket thanks to a patriotic design, the evolution of the "Ugly Sweater" kit from hate to fan favorite, and how custom designs become people's rolling identity. Whether you want to protect your paint, customize your ride, or switch designs for every season or event — MEK Magnet has you covered. 00:00 Why Trail Armor Was Needed 01:15 Founding Meek Magnet and Early Product 02:54 Material Technology and Performance 04:41 Creative Branding and Duck Ideas 05:57 Reusability and Durability of Magnets 07:10 Customization Options and Partnerships 08:44 Privacy, Uniqueness, and Community Sharing 09:18 Paint Fade Issues & Hood Protection Recommendations 11:15 Creative Accessories: Bird‑Poop Stickers and Bullet‑Hole Designs 12:13 Product Lineup Across Jeep, Ford, and Toyota Models 12:53 Truck Market Challenges and Overlanding Strategy 15:40 Custom Logo Placement and Size Options 17:32 Adhesive Material Applications and Business Signage Solutions 18:29 Magnet Products: DIY Installation and Service Options 19:51 Jeep Customization: Design Ideas, Partnerships, Pricing & Dealer Services 22:52 Design Limits and Controversial Themes 24:47 Client Collaboration and Design Workflow 27:21 Design Consultation and Creative Process 29:02 Jeep Customization: Designs, Off‑Shelf Products, and Brand Impact 34:09 Paint Protection Vinyl (PPV) and Installation Insights 37:19 Solar Shield Windshield Protector 39:32 Customizable Graphics & Nanotech: Subtle vs Bold Design Choices 42:24 Brand Naming and Origin Story 44:14 The Ugly Sweater Product Journey 45:35 Patriotic Magnet Story and Customer Reactions 47:42 Philosophy: Jeep Culture and Personalization 48:11 Contact Info and Closing Remarks 👉 Check out all the designs and order here: https://www.mekmagnet.com 📸 Follow on Instagram: @mekmagnet (or search MEK Magnet for the latest!) 💬 Use hashtags: #MEKMagnet #LoveYourJeep Have you tried removable trail armor?
