Getting these things away from your car finish as soon as possible will keep the minimum amount of damage to the beautiful shiny finish. Most cars will come clean with plain water. Using dishwashing detergent will remove the old wax off of the car.
The most important thing about Buying a used car is that you know everything about the history of the car, including the number of previous owners, if the car was ever involved in an accident, any previous mechanical problems and the maintenance history of the car.
