please no lube politics here!

i switched to drip wax (UFO drip V2) a while back and have been enjoying a somewhat cleaner chain without much hassle… but it seems to me like an application doesn’t last that long. the advertising says 35 coatings per bottle, which just about lines up, so i don’t think i’m using way too little. it also says 300km per application, but i feel like my drivetrain gets noisier and “grittier” for lack of a better word after about 150km, if not a bit less.

i wipe the chain with a rag after every ride, and the rag gets black where it contacts the chain. reapply drip wax every 150km or so.

any other current or former users of drip wax care to comment on how long it lasted? ride conditions are generally dry, some mist and fog and damp roads, all paved, no salt.
