Default Removing wax?

I looked around and I couldnt find a specific area for this to go, but there proly is one cuz I'm just horrible at finding things, but I waxed my car a couple months ago and some wax got on the mouldings. Its still there, like white "wipe" marks. Can I get rid of this if I use like a black polish or like "Back to black"? Sry I no this is a dumb ques. but I'm not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Wash it with a decent sponge. If it's still there, trim paint. Can be picked up at your local auto parts store.

I also have a question about waxing actually.. now say the wax gets on the rubber black pieces? Anything to do about that? I heard maybe some kind of silicon remover, but I really do not know.

Trim paint. It works.

But next time, wax it nice and SLOWLY. Don't get any on the trim or inside creases.
