Can You recommend any brands/types of vinyl that is ultra sticky which can be used outdoors for decals/badges.

No such thing unless you are thinking of vinyl for high energy plastics.

3M Vinyl isn't that different to standard pic vinyl? I was informed it is more suitable for outdoor car vinyl badges/decals ?
What are the benefits of purchasing a branded vinyl such as 3M, Metamark etc?

What do you mean by outdoors decals/badges? Most decals/badges end up outdoors at some time or other so a bit more info would help in helping you. Are you looking for decals going on bikes, cars, walls, windows etc etc because there is a variety of vinyls on the market for each of these applications. Are you looking at self coloured decals/badges or printed ones?

I would like to create some badges for cars/windows, the vinyl adhesive I have doesn't appear to have a very sticky backing when applying.
I have also applied resin to some of the vinyl stickers with the same results, I have attached a image of the media type and the type of badges I would like to create.

What vinyl are you using at the moment because unless there is something wrong with it or it is not intended for the purpose you are putting it to I can't see what difference it makes to the adhesive qualities.

Ahh that's the easy removable stuff, might as well have used static window film.
