Frequently Asked Questions

How should I prepare the surface before applying the emblem?

Before applying your new emblem, it is crucial to prepare the surface using isopropyl alcohol (IPA). This step removes any lingering wax, polish, or silicone residues that could compromise the adhesive bond. Ensuring the area is completely dry and free of contaminants will guarantee a permanent and secure attachment to the panel.

What is the best technique to avoid air bubbles during installation?

To achieve a bubble-free finish, always work your way from the center of the emblem outward toward the edges. This technique effectively pushes any trapped air or application fluid out, ensuring the adhesive makes full contact with the surface. Using a soft-edged squeegee or felt tool prevents any surface marring during the process.

For the best results, apply the emblem in a dust-free environment at room temperature to allow the adhesive to bond correctly to the surface.
