Ok I got a big problem. I let my mom borrow my car and she went to dillards and bought some candles. I guess she forgot about them and i park my car outside. In oklahoma weather it gets hot. So i go out the next day and i see the candles are stuck to my seats. She said she was sorry and all but my question is how do i get ride of it. I used an iron and newspaper for like and hour and I got ride of some but you can still see it in there. Does anyone know how to get ride of candle wax?

try a iron that has a steam button and a damp paper towel. lay the damp towel down and press the steam buttom on the towel and it will pull up the wax.

From a quick internet search I found this:
eHow.com said:
1. Let wax dry.

2. Scrape away as much wax as possible with a blunt knife.


3. Place a sheet of butcher paper, glossy side down, or a portion of brown paper bag on top of the wax.

4. Press the tip of warm iron gently over the affected area until the wax melts and attaches to the paper.


5. Lift the paper from the upholstery as it cools.

6. Dab a small amount of denatured alcohol on the stain if any wax dye remains on the upholstery.


7. Sponge with water.

Put paper towel on the seat, place an iron on medium heat on it for a few seconds, lift the towel and put a fresh part of it over the wax and repeat until it is all absorbed into the paper towel. To remove the stain that the wax dye leaves, mix creme of tatar (available from any grocery store or drug store) and a little water and scrub the stain with it using an old stiff bristled toothbrush.
