Trim strip on the rear door had been lifting for months. Cut a length of this, IPA'd both surfaces, pressed it down firmly - solid bond, no bubbling, looks factory.

The right roll for badges, mouldings and seals
At 20mm wide and 2.5m long, there is enough tape in a single roll to tackle several trim repairs in one session - from reattaching lifted door mouldings to securing rubber seals and re-bonding badges across a full vehicle.

Good adhesion on painted metal and plastic. The only thing I'd say is give it a full day before you wash the car - I rushed it once and the edge lifted slightly. Lesson learned.

Badge on the boot had been rattling loose. This sorted it in five minutes. Clean edges, no mess, and it's held through several washes already.

Exactly what a detailing kit needs in the repair section. Decon the surface properly first and this tape does not move. Soft99 quality, no surprises.

Handles mild curves on the side moulding well if you cut it into shorter sections. Arrived well packaged from Detailer SA. Would buy again for trim work.
Questions
Frequently asked
What surfaces can this tape bond to?
This tape is designed to adhere to both painted bodywork and plastic trim. For best results, both surfaces must be clean, dry and free of wax, grease or contamination before application. An IPA wipe-down on both bonding faces is the recommended prep step.
How do I apply it correctly?
Clean and degrease both surfaces with an IPA wipe first. Cut the tape to the length you need, remove one liner and press it firmly to one surface, then remove the second liner and press the two parts together. Work along the full length evenly to avoid air pockets, and apply firm, even pressure across the whole bond area.
How long should I wait before stressing the bond?
Allow adequate dwell time before putting the repair under load or exposing it to vibration. The longer you allow the adhesive to seat under pressure, the stronger the final bond. Avoid flexing or pulling the repair immediately after application.
Can I use this to bond badges on a curved surface?
Yes, the tape can conform to mild curves typical of badges and emblems on bodywork. For tighter radii, cut shorter sections and apply them progressively around the curve to maintain even contact and avoid lifting edges.
Will this damage the paint when removed?
As with any bonding tape on automotive paint, removal should be done carefully. Warm the tape gently with a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the adhesive before peeling. Pulling cold tape on painted panels increases the risk of lifting or marking the finish. Any residue can be removed with an IPA wipe or adhesive remover.
Is this tape weatherproof for exterior use?
The tape is designed to hold trim, mouldings and badges in place under normal road conditions, including vibration and daily driving. It is suitable for exterior use on bodywork, but as with all adhesive tape applications, prolonged submersion or high-pressure washing directed at the bond edge should be avoided where possible.
How much tape is in the roll?
Each roll is 20mm wide and 2.5m long, which is sufficient for multiple badges, a full set of trim strip sections or a length of weatherstripping on a typical passenger vehicle.
Can I use this alongside other Soft99 repair products?
Yes. This tape is part of Soft99's repair tools and adhesives range and pairs well with their touch-up and panel repair products. Just ensure any surfaces that will be taped are fully cured and cleaned before the tape is applied - freshly applied touch-up products need full cure time before bonding tape is placed over them.
