I've been struggling with Finish Line Ceramic Wax Lube for the past month. It appears not to work at all, as my chain (Campag 11speed) starts squeaking after about 20 miles. I've tried cleaning with degreaser and reapplying 4 times now. The last time, I degreased the chain 3 times, each time rinsing thoroughly, using a Barbieri chain cleaner for both scrubbing and rinsing, then letting the chain dry, then applying the wax lube, letting that dry with the chain unhooked from the drive train (so it wasn't under tension), then reapplying, as instructions on bottle say. Still it started squeaking, after all that, after about 30 miles this time. I'd taken the bottle with me on that ride, so applied more at the side of the road, which stopped the noise but only for another 20 miles! Have I got a duff bottle? Or am I doing something wrong (highly unlikely, I've tried everything)?
