The new high tech synthetic waxes, usually leave no residue. Generally they do not stick to plastics either. These products contain petroleum distillate, and some form of silicone. They will hold up, but not as good as carnauba.
Think of the wax as a sacrificial layer, between the ball and your playfield. 2 or 3 thin layers applied and removed between applications, will be better than 1 thick coat. The thicker the coat, the harder it will be to remove.
