I got dark green wax on a blue, purple, and neon yellow hoodie. The worst of it is on the neon yellow and I have no clue how to fix it. I scraped the wax off and blotted the remaining wax out, but there's very large stains of the green colour still. I tried OxiClean and a baking one - Dawn - peroxide mix, but it didn't eliminate the stains. Is there a way to fix it? Or a way to maybe cover the stains up with dye or something? They're very noticeable as is.

You say you have scraped away the wax and now you're left with a bad stain/spot and also tried a couple of solutions.
I'm not sure what you mean by "a baking one - Dawn - peroxide mix'" but I hope it was not some sort of heat that may have 'set' the stain.
Most recommendations are as follows:
1.) You will need an iron and a brown bag.
Place a brown paper bag over the spot and iron over the spot.
Iron the bag over the wax, and the wax will transfer to the bag. Keep doing this with clean spots on the bag until all the wax is completely gone.
2.) Place a towel on counter and lay garment on top; use a couple of paper towel over the spot and iron over the spot - replacing paper towels as needed.
Soak with Dawn solution overnight and wash garment as usual. Do not place garment in dryer until all stain is gone.
There are a lot of different solutions provided online and ThriftyFun.

Even if you scrape the wax off of the item it still remain in the thread. In order to get all the way out you need some old newspaper and a old iron to do this one with. You will need to place the paper over the stain and iron it. You will see the wax paper on the newspaper.
