Interesting. Never had a single issue with overspray or sling from Maxima's Chain Wax. On a warmed up chain I apply it. I use a piece of whatever newspaper/flyer is in my recycle bin to guard against overspray. I've also never gone out for a ride immediately after application. Always seem to lube the chain after a ride (so the chain is already warm).
I always clean and lube right after a ride on a "hot" chain (i dont think chains really get all that warm.. ill take a reading on it next time), spin the wheel by hand slowly a few times to make sure she works into it, let it sit overnight then wipe off excess.
Problem with the wax is the next morning you cant really wipe off the excess, you have to soak a shop cloth in kerosene and wipe it down basically removing what you just tried to put in there. I also dont think the wax really works its way into the chains enough but thats just my non professional opinion...and really chains are cheap...swap them out every 10 k or so.
personally not a fan but its like the never ending engine oil debates, or ford vs dodge...because chev beats them both so its like a race for 2nd place .
