It dries too quick. The key is to keep it wet until you wipe it off. If it dries before you get it wiped off the wax is still on the metal. In no way shape or form is acetone good for pre-paint wax & grease removal.
FYI, back in the day when dirt was young & I earned my living with a paint gun, tack rags were cheese cloth impregnated with bees wax. Can't say what's in them these days.
