Unfortunately ammonia will not do diddly to wax. Wax requires stern treatment - no mercy, no prisoners, no Martha Stewart boolsheet. I recommend that gel paint stripper.

If you open a bottle of paint stripper and then sort of accidentally nudge it with your elbow, spilling it onto the table (which by some uncommon foresight has been cleared of papers and any Styrofoam) then it would not be a Home Project but rather a more ordinary and morally palatable Emergency Cleaning Situation.

At the end of taht, your table should be ready for some sort of subconsciously Ouija'd contact with fine-grit sandpaper...

Paint will not adhere to a table that has any residue of wax. Absent powerful mechanical methods (sand and AC power, something about which we Shaky Coasters remember fondly) modern chemistry must be deployed in all its awesome fury.

There is always fire...
