Wax sucks

Does anybody know the best way to get wax stains out of clothes/car upholstery?
That way I don't have to keep telling people "its wax, I swear"

Put paper towels over it and then use a clothes iron to melt the wax and soak it up. That'll get most of it.

Bucket of super hot water with cleaner might do it.

Wax is the worst. Hair dryer and paper towels should do the trick...whatever it is.

Citrus based cleaner will do the trick. This is what we use at the shop for removing wax from ski/snowboard bases and for cleaning wax off surfboards for ding repairs.

You're car will smell kinda orange-y for a little while, but that's better than the "what's that stain from?"

Get a board bag and carry the board with the base touching your clothes then you won't have to explain your "wax" stains. How you doin man?
