Dont get it? it said so in the post you replied to. I wouldn't clean the chain before waxing in the first place, unless it was very filthy and Id do it in molten wax if I
had to do it. Why? it said so too. To not get it wet and having to dry it before waxing or have it boil off in the wax. Mind you, no one is twisting your arm, just sharing what I perceive as a much easier approach. Jump to 6min 17 sec in the video to see.
