Most every rider that I have known to use hot wax for lube doesn't any more. As mentioned it's a lot of work for so few miles of good function.
I knew a guy who did a few event rides a year. Some would be a few days to a week long. He would bring a prewaxed chain, in a zip lock bag, for each day's ride and swap out the chain each evening. I guess he got tired of a squeaky chain after a rainy day. He married and his riding diminished and he stopped using wax.
Like many here I now use Chain L. Andy.
