Best audiophile earwax removal system?

I hadn't cleaned the wax from my ears for a few months, and was amazed when I did so.

The imaging improved even more than it did from inserting  a $10K mains cable.

I just used an awkward little bottle of wax remover.

Any suggestion re ear-cleaning kits that are easy to use and effective?

I would never have that done by anybody but an audiologist or an ear doctor.

I agree!

If you have a lot of earwax, you need to be taking fish oils capsules (orally).

A simple 'old school' is to soak a Q-tip with hydrogen peroxide and liberally...oh, sorry....'generously' apply enough into the ear canal until your hearing responds like they're full of water from a shower or a dive beneath the surface...

The peroxide will sound like it's effervesive in your ears; it is, cleaning and/or loosing the gunk in them.

Clean with another tip, avoiding going so deep as to hit the eardrum.

Repeat as needed.

If you're still dredging up wax after the 2nd round, git thee to your GP or an audiologist.  Even so, there ought to be some improvement.

If you opt for the latter specialist, get tested.

Yes, your hearing is Perfect.  Go prove it to a pro.
