"White Lightning" ("Clean Ride" now?) looks nice. Price in Europe is around 10 euros for 120 ml bottle.
Has anyone tried Scottoiler for bicycles? It works wonderfuly on my motorcycle (the moto version). Chain is always lubed, but never has to be cleaned. It is based on constantly dripping small amount of water solvable lube that falls off the chain along with all the dirt. So the chain is always clean. It is supposed to make chain last 5 to 7 times longer. My experience is that the chain is always clean and lubed. It wears nice, no stiff links etc. It does last at least 2 times longer. Will see in a few years how it behaves.
Here's the bicycle version:

Looks like a good idea for a touring bike. I'd put it on my commuter because I never leave it in places where it could be nicked. Just not sure it works as well on a bicycle.
