The quiet of a freshly waxed chain won't last all that long. I don't know where acetone comes into play, unless it's to remove water. It doesn't dissolve paraffin.

I'm happy with applications of my pennies per ounce home made paraffin based liquid drip lube every 150-200 miles. Far fewer chain removals. Taking the chain off for cleaning is at the owners discretion, but I clean every 600-800 miles, riding on clean roads.

Anyone who rides in wet dirty conditions might be swapping chains after every ride, regardless of the lubricant used. Others will wipe the chain off and slop some more lube on, never cleaning the chain.
