Wash with warm water and dish soap. Then rinse.

Except that doesn't work,at least on apples. You can scrub with soapy water and then scrape a knife across the skin and remove vaste amounts of wax still.

Something like steel wool MIGHT work or an abrasive cleaning pad such as a "greenie" perhaps. The wax on an apple IS NOT water soluable.

What wax is used for waxing apple fruit?

There is a natural wax on apples but after harvest apples are washed and brushed to remove leaves and field dirt before they are packed in cartons for shipping. This cleaning process removes the fruit's original wax coating. Without wax, fruits and vegetables like apples lose their crispness and moisture through normal respiration and transpiration - eventually leaving them soft and dry. A food grade wax is sprayed on apples to keep them shiny (for cosmetic purposes) and to protect the fruit.

What are apples waxed with?

It's a natural wax (and, of course, non-petroleum based) called carnauba wax. It's common to use wax in various foods including cheese and chocolate. The reason apples are waxed is not cosmetic; it helps it keep firm and juicy, and will also keep bacteria from easily penetrating the apple. The apple will live longer, stay fresher and firmer. Basically, the carnauba is a replacement for the apple's natural wax, which is washed off when the producers clean it. It keeps the good stuff in, and the bad stuff out.
