I would get the dumb **** at the Dealer to get it off - they should know better on denim finishes than to do that!

DID YOU TRY THE WINDEX... THAT MAY TAKE IT OFF.&nbsp\\; I CANT BELIEVE SOMEONE WOULD DO THAT, DID THEY TELL YOU THEY PUT WAX ON YOUR BIKE OR DID YOU JUST NOTICE.&nbsp\\; IF IT RUINS YOUR PAINT THEY MAY NEED TO BUY YOU A NEW SET OF TINS!

From what I've read about the denim finishes, if you polish them they become shiny, so you probably don't want to buff it much.&nbsp\\; You might go to an automotive paint shop (the guys the body shops buy their stuff from) and see what they advise.

Try rubbing alcohol and a microfiber cloth. The dealer really should fix this.

Use JOY dishwashing detergent. Whenever we want to strip a car down to the paint/clearcoat and get rid of the wax, to start all over, we use Joy. It's a powerful wax remover.
