Really? A specific type because I've waxed KMC chains before.

ZFC does not at this time recommend KMC chains for waxing / wax based lubes as have found their coatings tend to repel wax lubes, leading to very short treatment lifespans which has chains feeling and sounding very dry very quickly - this has also led to very short chain lifespans despite running the best know lubricant choices.

I'm doing them anyway, then will do fresh new ones when/if the wax wears off.

So I recently waxed a posh KMC K1SL single speed chain, it really didn't like it, just didn't take/penetrate. I've waxed plenty of other chains before and couldn't work out what was different.
