I would use anything that works, regardless of what it says. Kitchen oil, my own saliva, I use it as long as it works. Only test matters to me is my own experience.
It usually takes a few months, not so quickly, before WD-40 dries out. I don't wait that long usually. Keep spraying every two weeks and wipe it off works for me. Maybe you haven't tried it yet?
Another draw back of the wax dip is it doesn't prevent chain from rusting unlike majority of other lubricant, neither White Lightning.
