when it rained, the chain would begin to squeak like crazy. I assume that means it gets washed out quickly. When I used it, the squeaking started on the very ride where it started to rain.
it makes a god awful mess with dirty flaking bits all over the chain as the wax gets ground out of the chain. They even claim this as a virtue as a "self cleaning" lube. Pull the other one! Marketing crap for a nasty effect. It is impossible to clean out of the chain so I just had to keep using up the bottle which didn't take long thank goodness because I had to pour so much of it over the chain to get it into the right places.
What's better? regular chain lube. Everyone has their preferences. I like my home brew of 3 parts mineral spirits and 1 part engine oil... 10w 40. Nice clean quiet chain all ride and several rides before relubing.
