Wax buildup on door seal

I have some dried wax built up on the plastic / rubber areas around my door frame. Scraped out as much as I could, still some left. Any ideas?

Rubbing alcohol works for me on rubber, also peanut butter on plastic (see my post about PB)

I was skeptical about peanut butter, but tried it after your post BlackjackMulligan and surprisingly it works! Awesome tip.
