Some of the mechanics with Bicycling magazine recommend paraffin on chains.
A recent issue had an article on this method.  I think they claimed that chain 
life would increase considerably by using paraffin over oil (largly because of 
less dirt pick-up).  The recommended application method is a double boiler.
