What do you mean by full immersion - 100% Squirt? if so, that's gotta be pretty expensive compared to the standard waxing method.
pifko-
Is there anything in Squirt that would make it better than plain wax? Half of Squirt would surely be applicator of some sort to thin it out so you can squirt it on and have it evaporate leaving only wax.

Empty bigger Squirt bottle into tupperware. Drop a clean, dry chain in and leave over night. Remove, wipe off excess wax. Dry. Ride.
I’m not sure what I’m gaining over hot wax, but I felt like trying it.
hippy
snoops
Anyone else tried applying squirt by full immersion?
I’ve been using it successfully for six months across off and on road bikes for by drip method, but the wax wasn’t staying in as long as I’d hoped so I dipped three chains recently. I’ll report back.
FYI a previously deep cleaned and then squirted chain can be taken back to bare metal quite easily with boiling water and a dash of degreaser.
