No matter how good the wax itself is, the waxing procedure remains crucial for good performance - so degrease the chain thoroughly and wax at the right temperature. If you want to avoid degreasing, you can now use additives such as the Silca Strip Chip or the Optimise degreasing/degreasing additive. Our large comparison of chain waxes shows subtle differences between the individual waxes.
