What is the preferred way to get wax out of the trim and seams? I've seen some people use a toothbrush, but I am worried it will scratch the paint. Any suggestions?

Spray a little quick detailer on the dried wax and gently loosen with a soft toothbrush, then wipe up with a clean microfiber.Michael Stoops

Jist about the best tool I've found is this:
I also have a stick eraser that looks like a pencil that is wound with a spiral of material that you remove to expose more eraser. I carve this to a sharp point with a razor blade to get into the smallest of cracks.
The rubber grips the left over wax/polish and easily removes it with out damage to the paint/plastic.Jim

I think it depends a lot on the specific areas you have to deal with. For me, the areas that are a royal PITB, are the lines where the clear bra meets the paint. I have found the best method is a toothpick with light pressure, some QD and a micro-fiber.

As a standard process for reconditioning used BMW's, I power wash the vehicle after compounding and polishing. This removes excess product from seams and prepares the car for a final coat of Meguiar's #26 which is applied with a pc.
You could take the car to a self-serve car wash and do the same thing with the rinse cycle....plain water is all that is needed.
