Yellowish Shipping "wax" removal?

Ok, I read the thread on "Removing wax from the trim". and all that is fine.

BUT, I can't seem to remove a few spots of the yellowish wax that creeps out of the seams around the bonet onto the fendor gaurds. Regular car wax comes right off with products I have, but not that stuff!!

Anyone have any ideas on how to get it off?

And yes, I have tried to get most of that shipping wax cleaned off from under the bonet, but some of it is where you can't get to, and it eventially seems ot find it's way out on it's own. Probably from the heat (melting and running...).
