IMHO, by far the best method of getting the wax off the glass and restoring
the finish to original is to use hot vegetable oil.  Any brand.  HOT, but
not burning.  Wear gloves and use a sponge.  The vegetable oil emulsifies
the wax, removing it without a trace.  Plain soap and water will remove any
traces of the oil.
