is it the spray can stuff though? what effects would that have on future removal?
the reason I ask is from the factory, its like a rubbery glue, but the 3m spray seems like its like super glue and the paint will come off...

I just replaced emblems on a car on Monday. I use this: 3M? Plastic and Emblem Adhesive, 08061, 5 oz Tube, 6 per case
Actually mine looks a little different b/c it's older but is the same product.

This is pretty much what all the bodyshops use. Good stuff and can make for easy removal down the road if needed.
David - your tube is probably black/yellow/white?
David Fermani said:
Yeah, that's the stuff. I really like it for what you mentioned (removing it later). I really dislike having to remove the foam backed emblems due to the process for removal. But the 3M adhesive is easily separate with some floss and solvent/adhesive removal.
Why not use 3m double sided foam tape? thats how the emblems are originally put on. We use an assortment of this stuff at the bodyshop i work at:

You're one of the few Body Shops that actual clean & re-tape those things? Ouch, I feel for you.

Will you guys try saving every emblem? Those thin BMW #'s are a pain in the butt.

With most newer cars the insurance company pays for a new emblem/molding, but with older cars or out of pocket jobs we try and save the emblems/moldings. With thin or smaller emblems we give them to my boss to retape...it gives him something to keep him occupied!:har:
