    Replacing H Badges

    Last monday I got a new set of Red Honda [H] Badges for my DC2. Bit of rice, but I prefer them, don't really like my stock Gold ones.

    Removing them is easy, dental floss and heat gun.

    1. What cleaner can I use to remove the left over glue residue?
    2. How do I apply these new Badges? They have pins on the back, but what glue do I use?

    Thanks!

    The badges should have some sticky foam on the back which should stick to the car after the appropriate cleaning is done to the surface of application.
    Just apply some pressure onto the badge and it should stick.
    If these badges dont have the sticky back to them, can i ask where u got these badges from??

    My apologies, I obviously didn't look too closely at the badges themselves. There is a black layer of sticky foam stuff on the back.

    What do I use to remove all the old sticky residue? Metho? I don't want to damage the paint.

    I'll more than likely wash the car at the same time, so I'll remove the badge, clean the residue then wash, then rebadge.

    Not entirely sure what you can use to clean your car of the old residue,
    Try this part of the forums:

    Hope that helps.

    metho wont wreck your paint as long as you wash it off when your finished, if you dont it may fade in the spots u applied it to

    exactly wot i did...

    it wont kill ya paint, it's not acid or anything. a car's paint is made to withstand alot of crap, so just use wotever, but make sure u clean it off later.

    and did u buy genuine badges? if so can i ask how much ??
