Not if it is used softly to agitate the polish/wax out of the crevices.

Rubbing Alcohol, toothpaste will marr the paint, and leave behind more residue.

toothpast is abrasive, thats a silly idea!
just use the soapy water when you wash your car next, if you need something stronger to get rid of excess polish and other buildups, etc, then move onto the alcohol/metho

I use a soft wet toothbrush to clean around badges and get polish out of crevises on my cars. Works great and dosent scratch.
