One I highly recommend switching to hot wax. Yeah it's more time consuming but it's superior to any kind of oil and even drip wax. Either way the Silca StripChip makes waxing a factory chain insanely easy especially if you have the Silca hotpot to dial in the temps. I have used the a StripChip on three different chains and they have come out perfect each time. No need for stripping the chain and then cleaning it off. Just bump the chain in with one chip and just left the wax permeate the rollers and then dry. Not the cheapest product but unless you are stripping a new chain every other weekend, than one pack should last a good while.
Start with a clean chain, wax it by dipping it in 75 degree wax, put it on and enjoy days of riding, if you have 2 chains just put the clean one on, and you're ready to go, no dirt, no oil, no muss no fuss.
I previously used a basic waxing machine prior to this and it worked ok but this is a game changer. So much easier and the hitting the correct temperature is a lot faster. All in all a great product.
