Thanks for the input.
WD 40 is not too harsh. It's gold in a can actually. From removing bug guts to road tar it works as well as any product out there and it's cheaper. I've been using it over 30 years. Try using either that or the mixture, let it sit then scrub with a toothbrush. Maybe even try some arm and hammer with vinegar to loosen the wax.

Stoner may be available in your area you'll have to look. Stoner's product is in a spray can, you'd have to spray on a cloth or sponge to apply to the window molding. Any trim care product should work. You can try silicone too like Maguires tire shine in the silicone form not spray.

You'll want to try and remove the residue before applying a trim shine, going over top of it will mask it but in time as it wears off the whitish color will return.
