If you havent already, try some QD and misting on to aid removal. Sometimes distilled COLD water misted on helps flash set the wax to make it easier.

..I suspect its probably on there just a little thick. Many people accidentally do it with the collinites.

If all else fails and you have exhausted everything to get it off, make sure the car is clean, re-apply the wax to the areas where it just wont come off - then wipe it right back off. THe solvents in the fresh wax will re-suspend the dried on stuff and allow it to be wiped right back off. Just make sure the car is clean.

Correct as usual. OP, for future use, ALWAYS make sure to apply wax as thin as humanly possible. Not only will you get better protection from doing so, you'll also get better durability.
There are some things in which more is more, but when it comes to wax and sealant, less truly is more.

Good luck and happy detailing!
