edit: You are obviously right, I'll rephrase: A chain lubricant is a chain lubricant is a chain lubricant. Prolink, triflow, tenacious, T9, white lightening, pedros syn lube, pedros road rage, pedros ice wax, another kind of pedros i forget, krytech, finish line cross country, finish line teflon, they all lube your chain. Some are thicker, stickier, some more watery. none are as inherently awesome as campy superlative. Nor as overpriced.
another lube tip is to wipe down the chain post lubrication. You want to lube each link, run the chain through the gears (what?), and then wipe down the chain surface (which will coat the cogs when moving) till the chain is basically dry on the exterior. there will still be lube inside the links.
watch your fingers.
