Dave Rome from Escape Collective/Geek warning-podcast has raised concerns about whether the added compounds from the strip chip and waxified factory grease will degrade the performance, but has published no conclusions as of yet.

Ronan McLaughlin said Portner hinted that it’s improving performance. They’re trying to find out why before publishing any data. Of course that is what Portner would want to say, but very interesting if true.
If you don’t fancy this chip method, the chain cleaner fluid is really impressive.

Bold claims by them in comments
Our official stance is that 500gm of wax can handle 6 factory chains and 6 strip chip pieces (one whole package of StripChip). In total, one bag of wax and one StripChip pack will be good for 70-80 total waxings including the 6 strippings. We've seen no degradation in performance at any of these ratios of StripChip to base wax, but also know that there has to be a tipping point. The oleogelation converts the grease to a very long chain fatty acid that's very much like wax, but isn't wax, so we've put that limit there as at some point, performance will suffer.
Curious to see independent testing!

So, has anyone tried the newest coolest..etc?
