I was just thinking about "immersive waxing" (and my total reluctance to step into a hot tube of wax to remove my body hair) when I realized we could do this easily with our bikes. Yes, requires a bigger pot. Dip entire bike into a gentle solvent that will remove the grease but not hurt paint. (Yes, a little research required.) Then dip bike into the wax. Let come to temp, remove, cool, buff out the paint and parts to a nice shine and ride. Closest think mankind has seen to the Immaculate Conception in the past two millennia.
