Perhaps you should try your own mix and see if it's bettah. 10:1 Paraffin/PTFE ratio, and see how it goes. One thing is sure, you need to remove the excess wax once it cools off after bathing it. You can slide it on a wooden round handle, for instance, or simply play with it for a while with a clothe wrapped around your chain. Solid wax residues will always end up around your transmission, but it usually stops after the first ride or so.
