had a small scented candle on the back of my car for the scent.It melted on a hot day and spilled all over the back seat. I cleaned up what I could but there is still a crusty layer I can't lift off. What should I do?
FYI... THE WAX MELTED INSIDE THE CAR ON A HOT DAY...

well if you can get an adapter for your car so you can plug your hair dryer into the cig lighter that works....just put a paper towel over the wax and blow hot air on it and it should liquify and be absorbed by the paper towel...just be careful not to ignite the paper towel
