Take the bike out and go for a quick trip around the block to get all the flaky wax off.

I might try some commercially available liquid wax lubes next, but my fear is that they will not stay as clean and be actually more trouble to apply and wipe clean than a quick chain dip. Compared to conventional oil chain lubes, I think I like the wax dip. No messy rags, no greasy hands, etc...
