If you don't hot wax then this discussion has nothing to do with you.
You are the arbiter of what can be discussed now? Hot wax is just one way of making wax liquid. Solvent makes wax liquid as well.
I'm wrong about what exactly? You and I are not even talking about the same subject.
I’m fairly certain I laid out the case of why you are wrong quite clearly. Perhaps you need a synopsis. Waxing is
not something that is only suited for weekend warriors. As a tourist and year around commuter, I have used solvent wax exclusively for nearly 30 years. I’ve used it in cold weather, in warm weather, in thunderstorms, in drenching all day rains, in melting snow, and even in mud. It works just fine with the added luxury of not needing to clean my damned bike every week.
Bikes don’t need to be covered in oil to work properly. Nor does the wax need to be hot for it to be effective.
