Peanut oil will also do remove the wax from plastic trim pieces.
What "wax" did you use? ....including other products (i.e. quick detailers, quick waxes, protectants, etc.)? Also, what do you use for a car wash soap and do you mix it in the recommended ratio? How about your wash routine (i.e. brush, mitt, chamois, towels, etc.)?I made the mistake of waxing my black imitation carbon fiber hood stripes and now they look cloudy. Will mineral spirits bring them back??
I use a quick detailer Northern lights, or Norton Liquid Ice, and a carnuba wax Tropical gold. I use a professional car wash 1oz per gal as recommended although I don't measure like a bartender. I wash with a clean mitt, remove water with a California water blade, and dry and wax with clean microfiber towels.What "wax" did you use? ....including other products (i.e. quick detailers, quick waxes, protectants, etc.)?

I would avoid the use of solvents. A strong car wash solution can usually help strip previous layers of wax if necessary (depending on the products used) but it's sort of a moot point if the there is damage to the decals.
