Try rubbing the same wax or a cleaner wax on it and keep rubbing while wet.If that doesn't work try nail polish remover very carefully without getting on paint use very little!!

Use 3M Adhesive Remover and you don't have to worry about getting it on other surfaces as it won't hurt them.

I use WD40. Works like a charm. To keep from spraying it all over the car, I just spray in on a rag. Wax comes right off.

Wax Suggestion...For You

There is a company I deal with called AUTOMAGIC based out of Dallas, TX.

The product is called "EXPRESS WAX" it will NOT leave any marks a all.
