Just had a bash at this, while my bike is in bits waiting for frame to come back from the painters.
Bag of paraffin wax from Hobbycraft, slung the chain into an old saucepan and waited for the bubbles to stop. Couldn't be arsed with ultrasonic cleaning so did multiple washes in white spirit and alcohol until it didn't leave marks on a cloth.
Will be a month until I can test it out, and sods law it'll be raining until March now anyway...
