The stuff on the trim should come off by lightly agitating with a small, stiff bristled brush like a toothbrush. You could use a little bit of cleaner on the brush as well. It's quite durable so may take a few tries to remove it but it should come off. Same with the paint, some APC sprayed onto your wash mitt next time you wash the car should do it or use some light polish on a microfibre then reapply a light coat of the sealant to that area.

I've always used a Pink Pearl eraser to remove any wax on trim. Works fast, costs all of $0.10.
