For flat black trim or plastic items like flares (any color) use Mother's Back to Black.

I'm not sure what material you've got wax on though. It is good on door seal, my textured black flares, etc.

A cheaper option would be to use creamy peanut butter. Dip a little on a spoon and swipe a little off of that with a cotton terry or microfiber cloth. Work the peanut butter into the wax stain and then wipe it off. Wash the area to remove the left over peanut oil. The oil in the peanut butter will break the wax down and remove it.

Mother's Back to Black is a plastic dressing. It will make the area black for a little while, but most of the time the wax stain remains and will reapear after a week or so. Generally, peanut butter completely removes it permnantly.

h2o2 (peroxide) works better... it is an acid base reaction and forensics won't even be able to pick up the DNA... but they'll probably question why you used peroxide to clean up if you are being investigated for something of that nature

Holy crap everyone

WINDEX

it is the use all for everything that you can't figure out how to get something to clean up. you have to scrub at it, but you will restore to original color by removing the wax.

The windex breaks down wax so try to keep it off anything you want to remain waxed

lol, the blood out of uniforms thing was more of a serviceable uniform thing rather than a forensics thing

I laughed the first time I heard it also. But I have been a professional detailer on the side for 9 years and it has worked for me every time since I started using it.

Wax and Grease remover will work for the most part, but I have found that some of them don't do well on plastic exterior trim. Some dry them out.

Peanut Butter seems to work better and it conditions the plastic trim at the same time it cleans the wax off. It is just a cheaper, all around better option, IMO.
