I haven't tried and my part isn't modeled yet, but I know I'm going to need/want to try this out when it is done. I'm wanting to put the wax marks from skateboarding on the edge of a concrete part. Here is an example of what I'm talking about:

The dark area is from wax and the skateboarding on the ledge. What would be the best way to try and achieve this?
It would be a texture. Since this shot is straight on, you could use the concrete portion of this picture and modify it for your needs. (if it's okay with the original photographer)
