I bike commuted through lots of North Dakota winters. Wax won't work very well below zero. 1 part synthetic gear oil, 2 parts odorless paint thinner, use a minimal amount, pedal backwards a bit. Let it sit, wipe excess off after about 10 min. Old disposable syringe works good as applicator. Put it on a warm bike indoors. Worked fine at -35F. Should work even if you leave the wax on.
