Immersive waxing / it should be more popular

Immersive waxing.

It's the best thing.
  • It so drastically reduces drive train friction across the duration of the application that it saves watts compared to other methods.
  • It minimises chain, cassette and chain ring wear and costs so little per application that it offers a significant return on investment.
  • It is easy and requires less work than any other method when defined as 'total time spent minding the chain or drivetrain'.
  • The wax is as hard and dry as a candle and leaves the entire bike clean to handle, always.
  • Two or more chains in rotation provide convenience, even for wet weather, and further increase drivetrain lifespans.
So then, you go faster, save money, save time, have no mess, and are always ready to go.
There we have benefits for all the boy racers, retrogrouches, MAMILs, show offs, and compulsive riders.

Some people assume the set up is difficult or expensive to purchase, but it is not.
Other people think oil or toxic solvent based lubes work better, but they are still asleep.
Few people think the wax emulsion drips they use are the same thing, but they are not.
Many people think it is more time consuming than what they are used to, but it is the opposite.

So what's going on?

Shops not wanting to sell fewer bottles of gunky lube and replacement drivetrain components I understand, but among people interested enough to sign up to a cycling forum, this should be so popular.

Let's talk about it.
