Did you have a problem with any grease leaving a residue for a while or did you give it a really good soaking first? Or do you still grease it just in case?
The Powerlink is an awesome idea!!!!

I soaked the chain in Simple Green for a day, brushed it good with an old toothbrush, and rinsed in warm water. No grease stains.
