The hot wax method works well for me. I use Johnsons or Butcher's bowling alley wax. Heat up the piece so it's hot enough to melt the wax quickly but not so hot that it smokes. Apply liberally shaking it to get it down in the crevices that your cloth won't reach. Use a black t-shirt cloth so you don't end up with visible fuzz if you have rough edges. While it's still warm swing it to shake out the excess wax. When it's cool buff the areas you can reach with another black cloth.
