Soap and warm water.

but don't forget that the soap will also remove all the wax, so you are
going to need to polish it again.

I use ordinary rubbing alcohol. This will also take off the wax, so be
sure to wax the involved area.
I have found that soap and water did not work for me (tree sap from pine
trees). Another poster said use WD40. I have not used that, but will give
it a try.

Depends on the soap. Most liquid soaps marketed for washing cars won't strip
the wax. Besides, reportedly, the newer clear coated finishes don't need wax
anyway.

Turpentine usually works for me.

I've used Bug and Road Tar remover. I think Turtle Wax makes it.

Thanks again folks. Several ideas that I'll try.
