Getting wax off exterior vinyl

I've put some carbon fiber vinyl on various shiny exterior bits and in the process of washing and waxing the paint, some wax got onto the vinyl. With the 3m 1080 CF vinyl it has a physical depth to it, just enough to really catch the wax and hold it. I tried a few de-greasers but the wax remained.

Read about using peanut butter so I taped off the paint (no need to remove the wax there) and rubbed in some peanut butter with my fingers. Washed it off with the hose and wax was gone! If it's stupid and it works...
