Default How to remove wax from paint

Hello, I have a new car and first time I've got to wash and polish it on professional Car Wash facility.
It looks nice but I noticed that one place it has a stain. I'm not sure but I think it's after waxing/polishing ... maybe not.
Anyway ... I tried to remove it using water, with fingernail , using W40 and etc. Nothing helped ... it got removed a little bit but still not gone. Well the size is around 1-2 inches only but it hurts me
I am afraid to make it worse ... that's why I refrain to use any chemicals.
I've read that one could use wax to remove wax. What do you think about it?
Any advice would be appreciated ..

Thanks

I’d try a wash with something along the lines of Dawn dish soap, and follow up with a clay bar. I use the dish soap solution as a lubricant when using the clay bar. Probably the safest paint surface cleaner that’s nondestructive to the paint and clear coat.
