Removing window trim wax?

Since I got my truck, I've managed to get some small amounts of wax on the window trim above the doors. I've tried Dawn detergent and although this works fine on the exterior paint, it doesn't seem to work on this area. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jon

You may find this hard to believe, but peanut butter will take it off. It's an old detailer's trick. Don't ask me what takes peanut butter off though.

armorall cleaner wipes work well also, comes right off for me. when you do get it off, use like the armorall protectant on the plastic and then in the future the wax will just wipe off.

Denatured Alcohol

Helps to dress trim before waxing. If you get wax on the trim, then it isn't as likely to set into the trim.
