The absolute best way is to hot wax the chain….you can order up one of our Hot Wax Kits online…or just get the 10oz tin and carefully melt the wax and dip your chain yourself. If you use this method, just leave the factory oil on the chain and submerse into the wax for a few minutes while agitating. For the rub on wax method, it’s best to clean the chain from all factory oils prior to waxing. I recommend using this technique for the initial application to ensure proper chain saturation is achieve.
