Yeah, I'll occasionally touch up a waxed chain with paraffin based wet lubes like Boeshield T9 and White Lightning Easy Lube. But they sort of defeat the advantages of using melted wax. The liquid solvents rarely completely dry, so if I ride soon after applying T9 or Easy Lube, the chain picks up grime just as it does with any oil lube.

And even if I let the chain dry before riding, the Easy Lube wax is much softer, more gummy, and still picks up a lot of road grime.

Boeshield T9 dries closer to really dry and leaves a very thin layer, but doesn't last long. It needs to be reapplied for almost every ride, if I'm riding my usual 20-50 miles on rural roads. Eventually I'll get impatient and ride immediately after applying it, so it picks up just as much grime as any wet lube.

And White Lightning demonstrates applying the lube directly on the chain while on the bike, over the cassette. This guarantees gunky cogs with a buildup that makes the drivetrain feel like sludge. So I had to floss the cassette.

An alternative is to apply those liquid wax lubes to the bottom run of the chain so most of it drips off onto newspaper. Pretty wasteful.

The only way to avoid that is to remove the chains and apply Boeshield or White Lightning off the bike.

All of which makes the crock pot and melted wax method seem much easier. Less mess and cleanup, runs cleaner. Prep a few chains in advance and do 'em all at the same time, and you won't need to do it again for a month or more. Usually I'll rotate a pair of identical chains per bike so one is always ready to go.
