Just my .02 but speed dip was a mess and a PITA to deal with. A buddy use full metal jacket and it came out good for him, no mess, no smell.
I still dye and wax. Yes, the dye will stain the pot. You can find wash tubs at hardware stores, use that to boil in water, then dump, refill, put in dye and water, boil traps in that, then let them air dry then wax.
First year, I'll agree, run them through the dishwasher once, then wax, and set.
