Grump,
I use Amsoil Heavy Duty Metal Protector (which has wax in it). I spray it on the chain, with a rag under and behind the chain, and wipe the chain down as I go. The carrier in the Metal Protector spray helps break down the old wax buildup. Then at the end I lightly spray the chain again and wipe any excess away.
The only time the wax gets on anything other than the chain is when I over spray when applying, which is easy to clear if you get to it prior to drying.
I would be very careful spraying the chain (or the bike for that matter) with high pressure water.
