 Re: How to wax a clarinet?

I've never waxed a clarinet (though I do oil mine, very lightly, with the keys removed, every January). I'm interested in seeing reports from people who've waxed clarinets for a few years. Do they get "waxy buildup" as advertised in floor-cleaner commercials? I see (and have cleaned up) used clarinets with a buildup of crud from years of oiling. Since the clarinets I play regularly don't end up clotted with gunk, I assume the ones I've seen in that condition have been oiled with way too much enthusiasm.

Waxing is an interesting alternative, but I don't want to--well, mess with it, if the long-term result will be ... a mess. Cleaning up an overly-oiled clarinet isn't terribly difficult (just time-consuming), but what about cleaning up a clarinet that's been overly-waxed? Anyone been there and done that?
