No ice or slush on the surfaces?

I gave up on the Boeshield T-9 paraffin spray-on dry wax on the chains of my winter commuters. They were not keeping the ironworm at bay. Back to 3-in-1 oil until I get some gear oil and some kind of dispenser for it. I'd rather wipe off the "grinding paste" and re-apply than to have to wire brush rust off and re-apply the much more expensive T-9.
Some claim to have the perfect solution. I don't believe them.

I recently bought liquid wax for chains. I don't remember the brand. I hope to try it soon.
