PRO TIPS

1. Surface Preparation is Paramount

To ensure these logos stay attached through car washes and high-speed highway runs, you must prepare the mounting surface of the center cap perfectly. Use a dedicated wax and grease remover or high-percentage Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the recessed area of the cap. Even a tiny amount of residual finger oils or manufacturing mold release on the plastic can compromise the adhesive. Once cleaned, avoid touching the mounting surface with your bare hands before applying the logo. A clean bond is the difference between a logo that lasts years and one that flies off on the first drive.

2. Temperature Matters During Installation

Never apply these adhesive logos in freezing or very cold conditions. For the best "wet-out" of the adhesive, both the logo and the wheel cap should be at least 65F (18C). If you are working in a cold garage, use a hair dryer or a heat gun on a very low setting to gently warm the surface of the center cap and the back of the logo insert. This softens the adhesive, allowing it to flow into the microscopic pores of the cap material, creating a much stronger mechanical bond once it cools and cures.

3. Perfect Centering and Pressure

Because these are 62mm inserts, they fit snugly within the rim of the center cap. Once the adhesive touches the surface, it is very difficult to reposition without bending the aluminum logo. We recommend hovering the logo over the cap and aligning the "EMPI" text horizontally with the valve stem or a specific spoke of the wheel for a professional look. Once aligned, drop it into place and apply firm, even pressure from the center outward using a soft microfiber cloth. This ensures no air bubbles are trapped and that the edges are fully sealed against the cap to prevent moisture ingress.
