How do you remove wax from the door seals?
I waxed my car using the Mother's three step wax. The car looks great except that there is wax left on the the seals around the doors and the seals along the sides of the roof.
I've washed the car numerous times since, and the residue won't come off. I've tried rubbing it out with microfibre cloths, and I tried removing it using a sponge with hot water and dish soap, but no go.
Any ideas?

A small amount of water-based degreaser on a toothbrush should do the trick. Just know that it will strip wax off the paint also, so rewax after completion, making sure to avoid the cracks.

Poorboys Trim Restorer might also work and is less harsh than some other methods. The dish soap will have already removed some surrounding wax so it’ll need to be redone. You can avoid all that by using a sealant or a better quality wax in the first place that won’t leave the white marks.
