Finally gave those waxed chains a real shot after a year of doubt

Had a customer bring in a bike with 500 miles on a waxed chain. Zero gunk, no rust, shifting was smooth. I was sure it was a messy fad. Cleaned it with just a wipe, no degreaser needed. What finally sold me was seeing the cassette still look new. Anyone here run wax on their own shop bikes? What's your setup?

Guess it takes seeing a clean cassette to admit you were wrong. That's a pretty solid sales pitch right there. My shop bike is still on the old drip lube for now.
