When I first picked up my X I had a few wax streaks on my side molding . I tried several things to get it off, with no luck. Then one day I tried just rubbing it hard with my thumb. Believe it or not, that worked like a charm! It took a bit of rubbing but it wasn't too bad and the wax all came off. I had to rub hard enough to generate a little heat but my skin stayed on my thumb and didn't hurt at all!
