Waterproofing electrical components

Boeshield is parrafin wax in a solvent?
Then for the frame I'll use my can of turtle wax. That goes where I want it to to go.
I've never paid as much attention to the chain cleanliness as I have with my ebike and I'm not sure what all the black stuff coming off it is. The chain isn't black. I feel like I'm making it more clean but maybe I need to use wax spray on it to see if the black stuff still accumulates at such a quick pace. I'm cleaning it at least once a week.

"T-9 flushes out dirt and old lubricants, displaces moisture and penetrates moving parts in between the rollers and pins on drive chains, carrying the paraffin formula deep into these areas and coating them thoroughly."

Even after I use light oils to float the particles out and wipe them up with lots of paper towels til there's a little heap of blackened paper towels, the ACF-50 flushes out, displaces moisture, and penetrates deep as well.

Still, I might try the spray wax instead. Or the liquid wax.

So I decided to use lots of varsol on paper towels to see if more dirt came out of the chain after so much cleaning yesterday. Result: some dirt came out but less than I was getting out before.
Dried that off and then sprayed it with ACF-50 liberally on the front gear as I turned it, and more dirt came out.
I won't bother with varsol again when the 50 protects from rust as well as coats it with lube and cleans just as well or better.
