Indeed the preferred soil/dirt and polish furniture wax remover. Often the polish is the problem to begin with when you see accumulation of gunk in details, corners, inside corners, etc.

Cheap polish/furniture wax is loaded with all kinds of silicones, waxes, and resins. Amazingly, it sticks well to surfaces while offering little protection. And of course the worst are the ones that claim to "nourish" the wood... how do you nourish a piece of material that is sealed?

I would go with naptha over anything else as it is tried and true. Get a handful of paper towels before you start and go to the dollar store and get the multi pack of cheap tooth brushes to use when cleaning. While you are there get some toothpicks, and if a pair of rubber gloves to wear. You are set! Do your cleaning in a well ventilated place and it should be a fairly easy task.
