Paint/Wax Problemo...

[bludvl_x19]

Hey guys
I waxed my car a few weeks ago, and on the weekend I got fire extinguisher powder in my car. As soon as I could, I pressure washed it off, but some parts of the wax have retained the powder. How would I go about removing the power/wax without causing too much damage to the paintwork, bearing in mind that the powder used in fire extinguishers is very abrasive.

snow foam and/ or all purpose cleaner, spray on, leave to dwell for a few minutes and pressure wash off.

If no look, may need to step up to something a little more extreme. Not entirely sure what the powder is like, but maybe try claying it with lots of lube?

And if all I had was turtle wax, and cut & Polish in my arsenal? How would I go about it then? TBH, its not my car, and neither I, nor the owner, give a stuff about the paint, but I would like to get it off with as little damage as I can get, within reason.

first i'd try a cool water and all purpose cleaner (liquid kitchen all surface type cleaner)

soak the area then wipe with a wash mitt rinsing the mitt out regularly with fresh water
