I agree with Andrew: a stronger solvent than mineral spirits or alcohol works much better. Mineral spirits leave a residue. I use either lacquer thinner or automotive pre-paint degreaser, which works the best, IMHO, because it is specially formulated for this. But don't get the lacquer thinner on the sidewalls of your tires; it might do something bad to them; not sure.

I've never tried brake cleaner for cleaning braking surfaces. I should
have thought of that.

But I often use acetone when I want a solvent that cuts most anything.

But will any/all of the suggestions posted in this thread clean off the WAX that the OP was asking about?
