it works, but will kill the wax.

cleaner wax usually takes care of them for me, or just plain detail spray for the less stubborn ones. spray on, wipe off.

Did you polish by hand? A buffer would probably do it.

Vinegar would be my next choice. Spread it with a sponge. Don't rub too hard, You'll get swirls.
