    Whenever I wax my car that rear Ferrari emblem always collects the wax and it takes forever to get it out from the lettering. Does anyone know how to remove this thing so I can clean it better? There are two rubber stops on the other side of the lid with the fasteners located underneath. I don't really know what kind of fastener that emblem is attached with or what tool can be used to take it off.

    It looks like two disposable plastic end caps are locking the two posts from the emblem to the engine bonnet cover.

    Perhaps they could be bent away and bent back for routine removal and cleaning of the emblem...not really sure.

    The best way is to get a small screwdriver and pry the 4 prongs out on each side. Be careful remove the emblem as its also glued on with tape on both ends and in the middle. When removing it, keep the emblem level, in other words do not try to completely remove one side before the other, instead work back and forth, side to side and bring the emblem out level. I nice trick I did when removing mine was to use a paint stir stick. You can lay the stir stick on the paint and use a screwdriver to pry against it, with the prongs pryed open it should come out fairly easy. Once off a little bit of laquer thinner pulls off the tape residue.

    This is alot of work for what you want to do, I would suggest just using a toothbrush on it.
