Just like gum. Put a piece of ice on the spot and then when its frozen, scrap it with a spoon (use that so you don't cut the fabric). Don't put them in the washer on hot or in the dryer until you get the wax off. Wax melts when hot and it will get all over your other clothes or on other places on your jeans. Once the wax is off, spray some stain remover on them and wash them in cold water. If the spot isn't out completely, spray some more and keep going until it comes completely out or it comes out to your liking. The only thing that you will have to worry about is the fact that wax is greasy and it could leave a grease spot where it was.

No, no, no...
Take a WHITE cotton towel/wash cloth (that you won't need again). Get it very wet.
Place the wet towel on the jeans, and put an iron over it on "Steam." Press and hold for a few seconds, then lift the iron. Check the jeans and see how the wax is coming up.
Repeat wetting the cloth and ironing it on the jeans. The washcloth should pull the wax up.

place the jeans in a freezer and let the waz freeze then use something that wont rip the fabric and chip it off. then use a stain remover for the oil spot that is most likely gonna be there from the wax.

Use a wet cloth and a hot iron the steam from the iron will make the wax warm and it will start to lift peel off the pieces as they start to come up. Good Luck!

Put them in the freezer. The wax will harden and should come right off.

"Use ice to freeze wax or gum, or place item in freezer; scrape or crack off as much as you can, then use oil solvent or mineral spirits to remove residue." "Oil solvents: (K2r, Afta) Dry-cleaning fluid, safe on non-washables. Good for greasy stains. Use only on dry fabric in a well-ventilated area."
