I use bug tar remover, It's a bit tedious and it takes a while, But it works!

ok does anyone know what i should use to put the emblems back on?

im reading reviews about 3m double sided tape and no one body seems to have good results for their car emblems as it to think and the foam gets wet and the adhesive parts get wet.

im thinking about buying some 3m rubber glue?
