Yeah your drivetrain looks good so I was wrong saying all wax based lubes collect grime like oil. So imo it all boils down to method of application. You carefully squeeze a drop or two on each pin/roller's exterior VS me totally submerging my chain in hot wax as I rotate it through my pot. Since I don't "count" the time it takes to melt my wax on the stove (I'm usually watching TV and/or web) I think I'll call this a draw for "pain and application time". But I still like the concept of total submersion better (I like knowing I got fresh wax deep inside my chain's interior while bathing my chain) than drops simply applied on the chain's exterior (hoping it flows inside) so for me, wax is the winner over wax based lubes.

But...if I were to go on the road and tour I think I would switch to White Lightning. You have convinced me it's the next best thing to parrafin waxing.
