....it comes will a waxy grease on it. Do you leave this on or wash it all off and re-lube?

Leave it on, it'll protect the chain.

Leave it there, it's the same grease that's used inside the chain links when they're constructed, and if you look after the chain and thus the 'O' rings, it'll stay in there.

Thought as much. The muppet who sold it to me told me to thoroughly clean it off. I thought he was talking ****e.
