@Tevis a lot of bike shops are set up to do it for you. There’s an up front cost of course, but if you compare it to a couple bottles of chain lube it is often a no brainer.
For a commuter I think it would be more convenient, once you’ve switched. The wax is hydrophobic so it keeps water and grime off better than other treatments. It won’t need reapplication over and over like normal chain lube.
It reminds me a lot of switching to tubeless tires. I don’t know that I’d say to someone who would need to buy brand new rims and tires to go tubeless “yeah dude, scrap these good parts and pay all this money to switch because it’s a lot more convenient”, but if all you needed to do is, like, tape the rims, buy the valve stems and pour the sealant in, then yes absolutely, big improvement for quality of life. Same here. I vote for wax.
