My chain was so quiet, it snuck up on me!

For neglected chains I do the following:
1. Shake in a bottle of degreaser for a few minutes, pour out old degreaser. Repeat until it runs clear.
2. Shake in a bottle of soap and water for a few minutes, pour out old mixture. Repeat a few times.
3. Shake in a bottle of clean water for a few minutes, pour out old water. Repeat a few times.
4. Bake the chain on a baking sheet for 15 mins at 250F.
5. Set chain on newspapers, rollers facing up, and give it a solid line of Chain L, paying particular attention to the rollers.
6. Wait about a half hour.
7. Install.
8. Pedal the cranks by hand slowly, so you don't get excess everywhere, and shift through all your gears.
9. Wipe off excess.
10. Forget about it.
What is this mystery lube you speak of? Chain L?
