It is an ultegra chain.
I Did the white sprits followed by a final rinse in denatured alcohol ahead of waxing. Got a great level of wax to bond to the chain and everything was looking good. . A lot of the outer wax quickly flakes off with the promise that it stays in the bushings.
Chain was stiff to begin with but gets better with a little bit of running in.
As tester says wax offers no corrosion protection. So any exposed metal will tend to corrode if exposed to the elements.

Well that sounds fine.
It does seem like rollers are going to get exposed even after one very wet ride, and that two chains (and almost constant waxing) is how it goes down in the UK wet.

It doesn't look like there's a lot of wax on that.
What brand of chain? I read that KMC chains are difficult to get wax to adhere to.
White spirit is effective but leaves a film. I think turps is recommended as last-wash before waxing.
I'm going to give this a go myself at some point this week, so keen to know your experience.
