Silca Secret Chain HOT MELT Wax. Can't wait to treat my chains with it.

I just recently cleaned one of my chains (with 1100 miles) to an agitated mineral spirit bath and got a scary amount of black magnetic material out of the wash. That's my chain literally grinding away! I use a very good lube - Rock N Roll Gold - and the chain looked very clean.... much, much cleaner than it would have looked with a wet, drip lube. No where close to 0.5% wear checked with the drop in too yet. But that quantity of residue convinced me to go to wax. Specifically wax with tungsten disulfide instead of PTFE.
