I really doubt you would get much more than very marginal performance gains when using the Silca wax vs Gulf paraffin wax. You certainly won’t see any longer drivetrain life nor grease stains when using Gulf wax vs the Silca. I don’t use oil but I also don’t mess with hot wax. Solvent wax works as well and is far easier to use.
FWIW, I can eat a piece of beef at McDonalds for $0.99, or eat a piece of beef at a good steak house for $99.00. Both offer essentially the same nutritional value. I'm pretty happy I have the option to choose what my priorities are at any given meal.
Wrong comparison. McDonalds doesn’t sell “pieces of beef”. They sell hamburger. Someone that is selling you a $99 hamburger is selling you the experience. The hamburger is essentially the same…just like Silca wax vs Gulf canning wax.
