There is a product that you can buy at the hardware store that gets
rid of the dull black for about a month per application. It comes
in a black plastic bottle. I'm not sure of the name, but it's
something like Black Chrome polish or Black Chrome restorer. As far
as getting the wax off, if worse comes to worse, use buffing compound
which will effectively behave like sandpaper.
