If the wax is soft you can scrape it with a fingernail. If you have a lousy soldering iron you can swipe it over the coating to melt and clarify it....I tend to use cheap garage sale irons that fail every 1-4 years so I don't mind doing things like that to them.
If you ever find a set that was used a long time with a badly leaking cap the cap will have bubbles all over it, and the ends will be melted out....
