I think you are onto something... sort of a "flame cleaning/lubing

just melt the wax... without also melting your chainrings.

Perhaps a peaceful use for napalm? Brush it into the chain and ignite
to remove the old lubricant - in the morning of course, because of the
great smell. Apply the wax when the fire is out but before the chain is
cool.

Opps... what about those plastic jockey wheels?

Well, maybe we haven't got all the bugs ironed out yet.
