I'll never understand the mania for surgically cleaning and waxing bicycle chains, unless perhaps you enjoy faffing around and spending money more than riding? Chains are cheap, so replace them before they wear enough to damage your cogs and chainrings. Drip some oil on it when it looks dry, wipe off the excess and clean it with a bit of diesel fuel and a brush during your regular washing session with dish soap. No big expense, complicated cleaning/lubing regime, just a happy drivetrain. What's the big deal?

Whatever suits your needs but there is proven chain life extending properties of waxing the chain. It’s a solid barrier that stops dirt getting in. When you do the initial setup, buying the wax heater it’s little more faff but day to day it takes less effort to wax a chain than clean/degrease and run drip lube over a chain. I literally have got 2x 3x more life from a chain by waxing than drip lube, no more dirty hand and more money in my pocket. I guess it depends what’s important to you, if you just want to ride your bike and change your chain then carry on with what you are comfortable with.
