Best DIY will be rubbing alcohol.

Mind you on such a broad area it will take a really long time. Then after that the alcohol will have caused some swirls and removed the wax which will need buffed with a pretty high grit polishing compound to remove the swirls. Also as the alcohol removed the wax and with the buffing as well the area will need waxed again. Plus some caution needs taken with the rubbing alcohol as you can rub pretty deep in the finish and damage the paint.

Realistically it’s probably just best to go to a detail shop. They should have all the necessary stuff on hand.
