Default What to use to get wax off?

I was in a hurry and I got wax on some of the black plastic trim. It doesn't seem to want to come off. The times I think I get it off, it will show back up after a day or two. Need help before I start ripping plastic off the car!!!

A little rubbing alcohol or carefully use a sponge dampened with dish liquid?

Original liquid Dawn dish soap. It will take off any wax that is on your car so be careful where you apply it. Washing your car with Dawn is the first step in the Zaino process and it works very well.

Tire shine and a tooth brush should work too.

OK this is going to sound crazy but here goes. Peanut butter will take it off. Just put a tiny bit on a rag and rub it around then use a clean rag and wipe it off. You'll need to wash the car afterward but the errant wax will be gone.
