Removing candle wax

My conservatory shelves have been left with a red stain from candle wax. I have scraped off the surface wax but the plastic has been stained orange. I was told to try iodine but that has not made any difference. Can anyone make any suggestions.
Thanks
Mel

Try using an iron on brown paper, the paper should soak up any wax

Hi
Thankis for your swift reply, would the iron not melt the plastic shelf?

The brown paper takes the heat..KEEP THE IRON MOVING, & dont leave it on to long
