Does anyone know a good way to clean wax off of the inner plastic that surrounds the instrument panel?

I'm not sure where you are but - in the US there are solvents for such things that usually won't hurt plastics.

Dupont, 3M makes many paint products so look for PrepSol. Its safe on most plastics and is meant to remove oils, grease, wax, silicone, other solvents, etc.
Some form of Bug and Tar remover could be used too. . .

What ever you use, test a hidden area and don't soak it for extended times.

As said, WD40 could get the wax off and it breaks down fast in water/detergent so it would likely be gone after a few washings.

A clay bar and some detail spray works great, but creamy peanut butter works if you don't have one.

The best thing is a super soft brush from a craft store. They have multiple strengths. I always start low and work my way up.
