I started waxing chains back in November of last year. I love the cleanliness, like the ride, not crazy about the service interval. It is not terrible, but generally at about 200 miles it feels and sounds like it is time for a refresh. That was 1200 miles ago, so I have swapped chains 4-5 times in the past 2 + months. A bit more than I would like.

Don't get lots of rain here, and I ride with fenders so my chain stays fairly dry and clean. I heard of Chain-L when I was investigating new lubes last year, and decided to try it out. Certainly no more time consuming than waxing a chain off the bike. Can't speak to doing it on bike as that seems like a big mess and hassle, but obviously it works for those that do it. Anyway, my chain is buttery smooth and quiet. Even more so than with the wax. I am interested to see what my service interval will be now, hoping for the 1000 miles that is advertised and others have experienced. But I put it on sparingly, so my chain is just barely tacky and looks great today. We will see after 50 or 500 miles what it looks like, hoping I found my long term lube solution.

So has anyone tried cleaning wax off a chain, if so what did you use?
