mineral spirits if it is normal wax
if it is that heavy wood sealer stuff
no telling
but if normal
spirits and a brush and rag should go the trick

Mineral spirits or paint thinner is a solvent for wax so you might try it. I havent used it for that purpose but might be worth a try. Someone may chime in with first hand experience doing exactly what you want to do so preferably wait for that.
