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.
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 is an ultegra chain.

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.
