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.

Perhaps it’s just the posh ones. I’ve done one so far and the wax deffo penetrated and seems as it should but time will tell!
