Wax bath for chains: I've tried this for the first time, because I am tired of gritty chain after sand and gravel ride. Put chain in ultrasonic cleaner, then wiped down with Methylated Spirits, before bathing in wax. After about ten minutes, there was grey stuff seeping out of the chain and the wax became foggy.
Did I not clean the chain enough? What would I have needed to do to get all muck out? Do I need a whole bunch of new candles to make a new wax bath or can I just use the grey one no worries? If not, how do I clean wax AND grime off this chain?
