I get it now.To start the seasoning process I have always started with oil and my "indoor" set gets treated that way all the time, but my rendezvous set asit gets its cleanup gets the beeswax all over it. Makes it weather proof and condensation proof as it sits in the van between uses. I do even sometimes heat the wax off the inside before use over the campfire. This set is only used over a campfire.

If you season your cast iron at the campfire like you do at home, it will be fairly weatherproof and more suitable for transport than with the beeswax coating. Not saying that the beeswax idea won't do, just that it shouldn't be necessary. If you need to coat the pot with something beyond what the seasoning process furnishes in order to keep them from rusting, then something is wrong.

This is how the factory seasons cast iron, sound is not the highest quality. The seasoning process is near the end.

I've seen the video from lodge showing their seasoning process, but it isn't on the one in the link you posted.

Lodge and Camp Chef both make pre-seasoned cast iron pots. While they are what I would consider only marginally ready for cooking in (I generally add at least one more coat of my own seasoning to the pot before I start cooking in one of these), they do not come with a wax coating, as it is unnecessary to prevent the pot from rusting or otherwise deteriorating during shipping and storage.
