Installation & Care

Remove old adhesive and clean and dry the mounting surface. Test-position both emblems before attaching them. Follow your chosen adhesive manufacturer's preparation, pressure, and curing instructions before washing the vehicle.

Wash with mild automotive soap and a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and aggressive rubbing across laser-marked artwork. An aluminum-safe protectant or wax may help maintain the natural machined finish.
