I take it you’re not a fan?
It's pointless for everyday bikes. Waxing is for minimising friction on your race bike.

I feel the promise that minimizing friction reduces wear and extends drivechain life whilst remaining clean is oversold.
The benefits to me are ourweight at the cost that chain is going in the bin if it gets like this after one wet ride and isn’t immediately rewaxed.

Disagree.
I use it on the commuter and it's great. No grease stains anywhere and when it gets dirty or surface rust from wet rides appears I just throw it in the pot again.
On the singlespeed, if you drop the chain in the dirt when fixing a punct_re it doesn't pick up any shit.

I thought I’d sufficiently dried the chain. Clearly not.
Also any corrosion resistant coatings on the ultegra chain didn’t last 50km with wax.
