How to get wax off a high gloss black table?

I spilt candle wax on the coffee table and thanks to your tips, removed it with a credit card. However, the wax has left a surface mark on the high gloss black finish. I can't iron it etc as it'll damage the gloss effect. I guess somekind of liquid is needed. Any suggestions??How to get wax off a high gloss black table?
use a ice cube rub it over the wax it will freeze it wipe it off with a ragHow to get wax off a high gloss black table?
Lay a piece of kitchen roll on top of the wax and direct a hairdryer onto the paper. Hold the paper down with your hands and use the lowest blower setting and the highest heat setting. Or you could use an iron, make sure you hold it about 5cm away from the paper.


If you don't like either of those ideas, you could try liquid paraffin, but try it out on an inconspicuous area first. Wax candles are often made from paraffin.


Kitchen paper will not dissolve. The important thing is that the paper (or fabric even) is absorbent. A J cloth would also do.
You would be better off using brown paper instead of kitchen roll as you run the risk the paper dissolving and sticking to the table as well!


The only thing i know of to remove wax is heat!


If you have a set of heated rollers you could try rolling the HEATED roller over the brown paper which should remove the wax onto the paper from the area and should not scorch your table! make sure you use a oven mitt for touching the heated roller!


GOOD LUCK AND MERRY XMAS!
What is the table made of? I wouldn't want to suggest anything without knowing that first.
