What have you guys found to be the best product to reapply badges?

Why are you removing them?

**Vanquish Auto** · 11-05-2018, 08:02 PM

To polish.

Um...that 3M stuff...they probably sell it here. Yup:

3M Plastic Emblem and Trim Adhesive 03601

I would suggest polishing around them if possible rather then removing.

Does that gel work as good or better than the 3M double sided tape? I’m going to be replacing a couple of emblems on my car soon.

I don't know...I've used it to resecure trim that has popped up when the factory glue dried out, I'm talking about metal trim around windows...not sure if I actually used it on a badge or not...it's kind of like Duco if you know what that is (do they even make that anymore?). You've got to cut/trim the doublestick, right? If that works for you, use that, with the liquid adhesive you have to worry about some oozing out, if it stays straight while it's setting, etc.

This is what I’ve been using. It does work. I was just wondering what everyone else is using. I’m happy with the 3M.
I’m not a big fan of the tape for badges and emblems. I’ve always used the tape for trim.

They have some gel cyanoacrylate adhesive at Home Depot that would probably be great for this...although not if you want to take them off again.

I think I might go with badges that already come with the 3M tape pre applied to them vs. badges that I’ll have to provide my own adhesive.. For 1, they’ll be brand new 2. I won’t have to worry about cleaning the old adhesive from them and putting on new adhesive.
