You can clean his ears with a piece of cotton wool and some warm water.

Are you sure its wax, is it black and bitty.  If so it could be ear mites.

Well if its just wax you could try a drop of olive oil for a few days and then clean out with cotton wool, not cotton buds.
Have it checked out with the vet just to be on the safe side though.
