I'm going to start over with a fresh batch of Gulf wax after the PTFE powder arrives.
Nice! Probably cost you somewhere between 5$ to 10$ for 3 years of lubrication... I bet your chain & other drivetrain components have stayed in very good condition as well.
It seems like simply pouring boiling water on the chain between re-waxing does the trick. Never actually tested it though.
