A couple of experts on the touring forum used that on long-distance tours & said it worked fine. I guess it depends on how thoroughly it's done. Currently I'm using Rock 'n Lube which recommends applying generously to flush out dirt & then wipe. OK but that stuff is pretty expensive.
BTW in the old days cars used to burn a bit of oil so it was easy to find empty oil cans in gas station trash cans. Oil cans had enough oil left to lube & wipe chain, for free.
