i cleaned mine with simple cleaning solutions, wiped it dry with lint-free towel, and put the badge on.

extremely easy-
couple of hints:

1. clean old badges well- clean and finish off with alcohol

2. make sure that they (the new badges) are lined up with your wheel valve stem (just like your H badges are)- its a honda thing!!

Cleaning the surface first is critical, as others have suggested.

Make sure you get them centered on the first try,because once you put them on they ain't coming off.

I prepped by H centercaps with alcohol and then applied the wheel badges. I only got one of them 'slightly' off center, but not noticeable unless you're right up on it. Just don't do it if it's cold outside. Those badges are hard as steel when they're cold. The adhesive is bitchin' though. In the words of Elwood Blues.... "stroooooooooooong stuff!!"

As already said, the install is straight forward: clean, carefully place, rub a bit. Two things: they stick and look great! I even like the front and rear better. People still ask, "What kind of a car is that?"

If you're into labels, there is a Buick Supercharger emblem that looks great. It's especially cool when the SC in included!
