Use a base cleaner to get rid of the old wax and put some new wax on them.

base cleaner it then scrape the old wax off then rewaxing it, then so another scrape 4 a finishing touch. Also resharpen the edge, the old wax might still be there

don't you get the left-over residue if you use like waaaaay too much wax?? That's what happens with mine but I use red or silver or blue wax so it's real easy to tell if you've overused it.

you can use any type of solvent just make sure you don't use too much and wax your skis immediately after or else they will dry up too much.
