    White Lightning, but before use you need to removed all the old oil from your chain. One tip, I put a BB inside the bottle of mine so it's easier to shake/mix-up when you use it.

    It is a bit more labour intensive, as you have to dismount chain, clean it and then bath in wax and mount again, yes.
    on the other hand, so far i suspect that chain suffer of less wear and MAIN advantage on my scale, it is less messy. Not lubricating process itself, but when riding. Especially if you have a chain running through pipes (common on recumbents around here). When lubricated with oil, I had those pipes full of black mess all the time, regardless of how intensively or often I cleaned them.

    FinishLine Dry Lube. Smells good, drys fast and the chain stays clean with a quick spin of the chain through a rag after each ride.
