I use this and have still all fingers   :)

A simple idea but it works very good. To clean the chain I use diesel which is nearly the same as paraffin. Both will do no harm to the o-rings.
With petrol I would not be sure.

The issue I find with stuff like that is you then spend the same amount of time again cleaning the cleaner
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
