I am venturing that the stuff you are describing is the same sort of stuff
that was on my Spitfire gaskets. It turned brown after a while and was
quite disgusting. I removed it with some cleaner that is designed for
cleaning the surface of auto bodies prior to painting. It is called
Acryli-Clean (from PPG) and goes by other names from other suppliers. NAPA
calls it Final Prep (or something similar)/

No, it really is wax. I've rolled up a ball of it so far.
