Question how do i remove wax from a new vehicle?

as title, recently got a new 05 reg vehicle. however, i have noticed that there are still a few patches of wax on the bodywork and the dirt is sticking to them. what is the best stuff to safely remove it with, and should i polish the area after doing so?

before you ask, cant be bothered to take it to the dealer as it is about an hours drive and i aint got time, and dont want to ring ring the salesman cos he isnt the sharpest knife in the box

cheers

use small amounts of degreaser (diluted depending on the make)

then give the car a good polish

Petrol is a very good de-greaser
