I have gotten so absolutely sick and tired of black marks on my leg and clothes and door handles and cleaning that crap up.
Today I bought:
-2x bags molten speed wax
-Mini crock pot cooker
-Medium sized heated ultrasonic cleaner
-a spare chain for all 3 bikes
I'm going to super clean all the chains, including removing the factory lube gunk, then speed wax all 6. Have the other 3 as spares. All connected by quick links.
I AM SO FREAKING DONE with the whole getting super nasty all the time with chain lubes.
We'll see how it goes.

26" Velocity Dually wheel set
I am anxiously awaiting delivery - going to try them on my 2015 AWOL with Rat Trap Pass 2.3 tires - should be interesting - internal rim width of 39mm. For sizing I installed an old set of 26" MTB wheels with 2.3" tires mounted onto the AWOL. It looks a little ridiculous and I like it!

Seems like SO much work and extra $ to avoid showering and cleaning a little grime off you.
I occasionally get chain grime off me, but, I just wipe it off. lol

I understand why some people choose wax(I don't with them), but avoiding a CAT 5 tattoo has to be the worst reason.
