Someone wrote "when I was waxing chains..." - why did you stop? I do

I quit waxing chains because wax has almost "0" lubricity. And I
reached just the opposite conclusion re wax lasting longer and
repelling water better than oil. Finally, one must remove the chain
to wax it--too much trouble, especially with the advent of 1-step
cleaner/lubes like Pro Link.
