Wax on moldings

Just picked up by car from the dealer, He decided to do me a favor and have it detailed, which caused havoc. Now i have wax splatter all over my trims. I tried everything from 303 cleaner, also the 303 protectant, to zaino ( yes on my trim , i was desperate) and its not coming out, any ideas? TOGWT i know you will come up with something, lol
Thanks in advance guys

Wax Removal

Are you sure it is wax ? ask your dealer what kind/type of wax was it and search for that companys products - if they have wax products then they have wax removal product(s) or

1.Try Peanut Butter and soft toothbrush .
2.Try Pre-wax cleaner (supposed to remove wax)

please let us know - as usefulness of information.

The Poorboy's World Trim Restorer has worked well for me when I have a bad wax stain. Just pour it on a towel and with medium pressure wipe the area down.
