I have been using white lightning for a long time now. I clean my chain on a regular basis, and when I lube the chain, I wipe it down. The lube needs to be IN the chain not necessarily on the outside.

I have been considering trying out Hippie Slick on my commuter first, and then trying it on my MTB.

My suggestion is to consider your climate, i.e. wet, dry, snow, etc. then decide on a chain lube. I used to have two boxes, one winter and one summer. Winter had the Pedro's lube, and my cold water boardwax (used to surf), and the summer had a thinner chain lube and my warm water boardwax.
