That's only for the initial application. Anything wax based requires a pristine drivetrain before lubing. Afterwards it's just wiping down and then reapplying. With wax based lubes you want coverage so as to minimize dirt sticking to the chain. Wet rides, usually reapply after 2-3 rides, depending on how wet it was and the amount of pedalling. Dry rides it can be 5+. For road I've been getting around 300km.
It is a little more lube than your technique but the chain and drivetrain lasts much longer making up for the difference in cost. I'm expecting to essentially double the life of everything this way since no-to-little dirt sticks to the drivetrain.
