Yes a leaf can not have a waxy surface if it is so adapted. The waxy surface is designed to keep water off, and inside of the leaf. Leaves in the rain forest often have a waxy surface to keep from being constantly saturated in water.
The shiny waxy leaf surface absorbs light and does not allow water to evaporate. Thus water and carbon dioxide in the presence of light manufacture food by photosynthesis in the chloroplasts.
By waxy deposition on the leaf surface and closing of stomata
The outer surface of the leaf has a thin transparent waxy covering called the cuticle

the waxy material in the leaf is called "CUTIN"
cutin and cutan
Waxy and prickly leaf is not likely to be eaten by deer
Generally speaking, the top surface as it is covered with a waxy cuticle, the bottom of leaves normally have vein protusions, hairs and stomatic openings
cuticle it on the leaf for the bugs to eat to keep out posion

Because the are covered with a waxy cuticle layer which protects the leaf from dehydration.
