The Finis Line Wet Lubricant is good for your conditions. Completely wipe down the chain from any dirt, grime, or old lubricant so it is completely clean, apply the new lube, let it sit for a little while (overnight if possible), then do a complete wipe down with a clean rag. There should be no excess oil on the outside of the chain, only within the internals.
A dry chain will run better and last longer than a dirty, wet one, so after messy rides be sure to clean and re-lube the chain.
