SIC Multiwipe was snake oil. It was just a wipe done repeatedly for no reason.
Just run an autoloader.
I remember there was a time when it was suggested by some that to load BB10... it was best to do a wipe, run autoloader and then do another wipe. I never did, as it took hours to do a Z10 wipe...

Ya, the wipe before autoload was nonsense.
Doing a wipe after autoload made sure any residual data segments were replaced with random 1s and 0s, so at least there was a tiny justification if selling a device. Oddly enough, on a couple of early beta OS builds, a post-wipe was necessary to unlock a couple of built-in apps.
