Soft tooth brush, tooth pick, edge of credit card/store discount card and QD work for me most of the time. If the residue has hardened, try working with an adhesive or tar remover or IPA.
Good luck! :)

Probably. Try it just with QD or trim dressing and a soft toothbrush first, see if you can remove it with that. If not try the 1Z; always better to use the least aggressive treatment first.
Good luck!

QD and a good Oral-B toothbrush. I used Mother`s Showtime because I have a keg of it, but any QD should work.

really old soft tooth brush, boars hair brush or an old credit cart wrapped in a MF towel.

Pink eraser or an eraser pencil. Cut to desired shape. Cheap and highly effective.

I always make a habit of keeping the wax away from cracks and crevices. I toothbrush a small amount of polish on window surrounds, rubber gaskets behind mouldings, around model/manufacturer badges etc., prior to cut and/or polish process, then wax close, but not in the crevices.

Wax Stain Removal:
Excess wax and polish residue can be removed using Groit’s Wax Remover & Cleaner[PN 112165] it permanently removes embedded wax residues in textured bumpers, matt-finish vinyl panels, trim mouldings (works on any colour trim) and weather-stripping.
Instantly dissolves unwanted wax streaks and stains (it dissolves the dried on wax or polish) Wipe away any excess, lightly spray with clean distilled water and re-apply a vinyl or rubber protective dressing.
~Hope this helps~
