In places yes, eventually it'll wear off, but just have to reapply it every year or as needed. The reason you rub it with pressure and vigourously is to pack/compress the wax into the trades, as well as rub off the stuff on the surface. I still have full trades on a well worn KSC M11 that are intact (incidentally I used white all over but used red crayon on the FIRE part of the selector.)
