Wax that just doesn't wanna come off plastic....?

Ive tried a ton of things to get Liquid Glass of my plastic moldings. Most of the stuff I tried either last's 3 days, leaves a oily residue the next day, or doesnt work... Anyone wanna make me some suggestions of stuff to use that will remove the wax from the plastic, not just cover it up? Or atleast last more than 3 days?

3M Bug & Tar Remover is the only thing I've found that actually got the wax off.Scrub it into the grain with a toothbrush.I used it 6 months ago on a few spots and not one has returned.It actually removed the wax.

I'm using 3M Adhesive, Tar and Wax Remover. 3M P/N 03618. It is a spray, so I spray it onto a terrycloth towel and carefully rub the plastic. Remember, it removes the wax, so if you rub or get it on the paint - good by wax.
