Default Removing wax from stripes? Help needed

Hey guys..I waxed my fifth gen the other day..I tried to be careful about keeping the wax off of the black stripes but some got on there anyways...I'm not really sure how to get it off? I tried to just buff it off obviously but with no luck..if anybody has any ideas or tips that would be awesome cuz its starting to bother me..thanks everyone.

Wax and grease remover from your local paint store will work just dandy!

I've heard olive oil does the trick for wax.

Isopropyl and a q-tip/cotton ball. Dilute it 50/50 if it intimidates you.
