📄 Instructions & Care
APPLICATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Before Getting started!
Your package includes a white transfer film card that ensures proper alignment of your new emblem
Remove the red protective film and place emblem with proper alignment on to the matte/wax side of the transfer film as shown below
Once you’re ready to install peel off the glossy side of the film and stick to the front of your emblem as shown on step 6Failure to follow these recommendations can result in a less than desirable outcome.

Recommended items for application:
Fishing lineAlcohol prep pads
Adhesive remover (i.e. Goo gone)
Rubber wheel (not required)
Microfiber towel
Hair dryer or heat gun
Half inch painter’s masking tape
Orbital polisher (not required)
Step 1.
Start with making sure the area is clean from dirt and debris. Once area is clean, take your half inch masking tape and create a guide in a ‘V’ pattern to ensure proper placement of new emblem.

Step 2.
Start with using a hair dryer or a heat gun to soften the adhesive until panel is warm to the touch
Place fishing line under the emblem and cut slowly, starting from the thin top piece. Once that is removed, place the fishing line starting from the bottom of the ‘T’ logo, cut half way up, remove the fishing line and continue to cut emblem from the top of the ‘T’ logo until it’s completely removed (doing this will ensure that the tip of the ‘T’ logo will not damage the clear coat).
Step 3.
Upon removal of the emblem, gather your adhesive removing tools. If you have a rubber wheel, use that to remove the majority of the leftover adhesive. If you don’t have a rubber wheel, use your thumb in a rolling-like motion to remove the adhesive. Once the large pieces of adhesive are removed, use the goo gone with a microfiber towel and rub the remaining adhesive in a circular motion (do this gently to prevent fine scratches) until it’s completely removed.
At this point, feel free to use an orbital polisher (if you have one) to remove fine scratches, if any.

Step 5.
Let’s prep the area for installation of your new custom emblem. Using the provided alcohol prep pads, gently wipe the area to remove any wax or oil from the panel to ensure proper adhesion.

Step 6.
Once the surface is prepped, take your new front emblem (flat emblem) and align with your ‘V’ pattern guide. Once you’re satisfied with the placement, using firm pressure, press emblem firmly to panel. Proceed to remove clear firm carefully, as to not leave any sticky residue (if any sticky residue remains, tap film on sticky areas to remove).


GLOSS EMBLEM CARE RECOMMENDATIONS
🙆🏻♂️ Mr. Do…
- Practice preventative maintenance –It is important to put down a paint protectant in order to prevent staining, etching, UV fading, and damage from environmental contaminants. Using products specifically design for use with gloss clear coat, will protect the paint surface, preventing such issues from occurring.
- Handwash regularly – Regular handwashing is the most effective way to keep the surface clean. We recommend using the two-bucket method, or a handheld foamer to wash the vehicle by hand. A reputable detail shop can also wash the vehicle by hand.
- Remove contaminants between washes – If left too long on the surface bird droppings, insect remains, and water spots can bake onto the finish, causing damage to the protective coating and eventually the paint underneath. Using quick detailer designed for gloss finishes, you can easily wipe away these blemishes as you see them, preventing any damage from occurring.
- Use clean mitts and microfiber towels – It is important to use soft, clean microfiber towels and wash mitts when caring for a satin surface. Using towels with embedded particles and debris can abrade the surface, causing scratching and marring.
- Ceramic coatings – Designed for use with Gloss finishes will greatly increase the appearance of the finish to appear more deep and rich in color and is safe to use.
🙅🏻♂️ Mr. Don’t…
- Do Not use polishers/buffing machines – Using a rotary or orbital polisher will damage the finish.
- Do Not use an automatic car wash – Automatic car washes can damage satin finishes. Mechanized, spinning brushes at automatic car washes cause scratches and abrasions which cannot be removed.
- Do Not wash the vehicle with dish detergent – Dish soaps are not intended for use on paint surfaces. They can dry out the paint and are overly aggressive on protective products. Use Matte Body Wash to wash the vehicle.
- Do Not use rough cloths – Using terry cloth, paper towels, or other rough materials to wipe or dry the surface can cause unnecessary abrasion on the surface.
SATIN EMBLEM CARE RECOMMENDATIONS
🙆🏻♂️ Mr. Do…
- Practice preventative maintenance – Because satin finishes cannot be polished it is important to put down a paint protectant in order to prevent staining, etching, UV fading, and damage from environmental contaminants. Using products specifically design for use with satin clear coat, will protect the paint surface, preventing such issues from occurring.
- Handwash regularly – Regular handwashing is the most effective way to keep the surface clean. We recommend using the two-bucket method, or a handheld foamer to wash the vehicle by hand. A reputable detail shop can also wash the vehicle by hand, but make sure they are using car wash soap formulated specifically for satin finishes.
- Remove contaminants between washes – If left too long on the surface bird droppings, insect remains, and water spots can bake onto the finish, causing damage to the protective coating and eventually the paint underneath. Using quick detailer designed for satin finishes, you can easily wipe away these blemishes as you see them, preventing any damage from occurring.
- Use clean mitts and microfiber towels – It is important to use soft, clean microfiber towels and wash mitts when caring for a satin surface. Using towels with embedded particles and debris can abrade the surface, causing scratching and marring.
- Use products formulated for satin finishes – It might be tempting to use standard car care products you already have on hand, but a satin finish is a specialty paint job, and to care for it you need specialty products.
- Ceramic coatings – Designed for use with satin finishes will slightly change the appearance of the finish to appear more deep and rich in color and is safe to use.
🙅🏻♂️ Mr. Don’t…
- Do Not wax or polish the emblems – Introducing waxes or polishes to the surface can alter the look of the finish. Waxes, paint sealants and ceramic coatings are designed to add gloss to paint finishes. Using abrasive products such as a polishes, glazes, and compounds will cause shiny spots which are irreversible. By practicing proper maintenance polishing should not be necessary.
- Do Not use polishers/buffing machines – Using a rotary or orbital polisher will damage the finish.
- Do Not use an automatic car wash – Automatic car washes can damage satin finishes. Mechanized, spinning brushes at automatic car washes cause scratches and abrasions which cannot be removed.
- Do Not use products intended for glossy finishes – Regular car wash soaps can contain waxes, silicones, and optical brighteners, all of which are intended to enhance the look of the surface. On a satin finish these products will cause the finish to look blotchy and uneven. Avoid quick detail sprays and other cleaning products for the same reason.
- Do Not wash the vehicle with dish detergent – Dish soaps are not intended for use on paint surfaces. They can dry out the paint and are overly aggressive on protective products. Use Matte Body Wash to wash the vehicle.
- Do Not use rough cloths – Using terry cloth, paper towels, or other rough materials to wipe or dry the surface can cause unnecessary abrasion on the surface.
