I have now been using molten speed wax on my XC and Trail bikes a while and its amazing.
There is quite alot of work to clean the chain (including a brand new one) and getting your cassette, chainring and derailleur pulleys spotless at first. Once you do that its quite straightforward. Its a simple 18 step process outlined on the mspeedwax site.
In reality its pretty easy.
The finished product is clean, silent, shifts great, and low maintenance. You can rub a finger on the chain after a ride and it comes off clean. After 300 miles off-road its still going strong without reapplying.
I am in dry, dusty conditions and its working great. Everything else seems prehistoric now.
