I was reading on Molten Speedwax website: MSPEEDWAX | Molten Speed Wax - How To Clean Your Bicycle Chain Before Hot Waxing
And one thing that I noted was that they first used mineral spirits, but then finished off with denatured alcohol (or acetone)… This is something I haven’t done before, and I know that my mineral spirits have left a oily feeling on the chain that I have tried my best to get away before applying wax.
I just threw my chain that I have been running for 4 weeks now in mineral spirit bath, and now finished it off with some acetone for the last bath, will see if it makes a difference.
What are you guys experience with mineral spirits and do you also finish it off with a bath in acetone or denatured alcohol?
