Waxing your chain instead of lube?

I too followed the Oz Cycle way, and got 4300km out of my 2nd chain. 1st one around 2000km. I ride about 150-200km / week, commuting during week and shredding on weekend. Have de-restricted motor (Yamaha Synchdrive pro, done over 8000km)
My method also includes a deep clean in turps using an ultrasonic cleaner (chain and turps in a glass jar placed in water of ultrasonic cleaner, set to 50'C).
Clean & wax every 200-300km.
If stretching it out a bit between waxing, I spray WD40 each ride and wipe chain down.
