Many mold release agents are wax-based, so you are probably both right, IMO.
I've not had the problem myself, but I see that MMC has a mold cleaner that
specifically removes release agents; or something like Arcyli-Clean would
probably work well.
A strong, alkaline detergent (like genuine TSP) and water would remove the wax,
but might also damage the nearby paint if the gasket is already installed.
Come to think of it, the mold cleaner might not be safe for paint, either. Try
it out on an inconspicuous place first. But Arcyli-Clean is not supposed to
harm healthy paint (tho it does tend to take off any oxidized paint on the
surface).
