Interesting that the paraffin actually got better with dirt?
My road bike chain is on about 600miles (mostly dry) since it's last dunking in putoline, it looks spotless (still feels waxy enough to be preventing rust on the outside) but hasn't started creaking yet so there's obviously still lube in the rollers. I'll probably do it again at the weekend if I get a chance.
Yes it's a faff waiting for the wax to melt, then letting the chan soak, but there's no need to pre clean it, and you can do all your bikes at once (just make a note of what brand/speed of chain was on each bike), make a cup of tea and it's done while you drink it.

My update is: I obtained a larger tin.
Still works well, though I should try some beeswax.
Wax is a godsend in the sandy conditions!
