This was my experience as well. One rainy ride with White Lightning, and the chain is covered in surface rust three days later. Multiple rainy rides with wet lube, no surface rust, and the chain starts squeaking after ~500 miles -- same thing happens if it doesn't rain.
Now I save the rest of the White Lightning for lubing pedal cleats.
