Question for Dave, what would the wax look like after the naphtha evaporated? As you can see with the alcohol there is nothing besides wax/PTFE residue.
A chain with liquid paraffin applied looks like nothing is on it. What I see in your pics is a lot of wasted PTFE. Place some paraffin diluted in naphtha on a clean surface and let the solvent evaporate. It will be the same as placing the same amount of melted paraffin on that surface.
