There is a substance sold as a degreaser/dewaxer. It is used before
painting or touchup. It is available at any place that sells auto
paints and painting accessories. It will take ALL wax off, so you'd have
to wax it again after getting all the old stuff off.

I've seen "Detailing Dudes" use an old soft tooth brush for this
purpose to get the wax from out of areas where the body molding meets
the body of the car.
It works great and I've used it myself.
