To make a story short one of my cooks was looking at my car and had cooking oil on his hand and left an imprint on my driver door. I don't think it would stick into the paint but earlier today I sprayed it with wax as you dry stuff and it's didn't take it off completely. You can only see it when the light is hitting directly. Looks like when u clean off bird poop. Thanks in advance

If it was me I'd try some dawn dish soap, then maybe a cleaner wax. If those two didn't take care of it, use polish. Start out light and work your way up. If you use the dawn and/or the polish make sure to put wax back on as both will strip any wax that was on it.

id use diluted simple green(which will also remove wax) then rewax. if that doesnt work use ultimate compound then wax.

but really, use what you have available before u go buy a product. if u have dish soap, that basically will do what simple green does.
