SILCA Ultimate Chain Stripper and Wax Prep is a highly concentrated, biodegradable degreaser combined with a wax adhesion promoter (primer) which allows for fast, single-step preparation of factory chains for waxing while also improving wax adhesion and increasing longevity. SILCA Chain Stripper reduces the time and number of chemicals required to properly prep a factory-greased chain to less than 10 minutes and can even be used on-bicycle to prepare chains for drip wax application.

FOR HOT MELT WAXING:
Start with a new, factory chain with SILCA Secret Blend Hot Melt, simply immerse the chain in the Ultimate Chain Stripper and Wax Prep. Agitate for 30 seconds. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes. Agitate, again, for 30 seconds. Remove the chain from the stripper solution and rinse with water. Rinsing removes the encapsulated factory grease/oils. Drop the chain directly into the hot wax. Any remaining liquid will boil off within a few minutes. Once the chain is fully waxed, the chain prep/primer will provide up to 30% longer life than a chain cleaned by traditional methods.
FOR DRIP-APPLIED WAXING:
Start with a new or nearly new chain with SILCA Super Secret Chain Coating without removing the chain from the bicycle. Apply one (1) drop of SILCA Chain Stripper to each roller of the chain while backpedaling. Allow the chain to soak for 5 minutes. Backpedal 10 revolutions of the crank to agitate the stripper. Re-apply one (1) drop per roller allowing. Let it sit for 5 more minutes. Rinse with clean water while backpedaling at least 10 revolutions. Apply Super Secret Chain Coating to each link and allow it to cure.
