Always on the lookout for a new "holy grail" lube suitable for in-situ lubing of cables with maximal results. The DRY lube is the kind that I use to refill my squeeze bottle with a seasonally-adjusted 10-20% oil added for quietness and longevity. The very high solvent content of the aerosol product assures that I can easily wipe down the chain after lubing with no excess of oil remaining to creep out of the links and cause sludge to appear.

I'll try to get these tested and report back here.
I hate to be a "Tree Hugger" here but this is nasty stuff. Anyone that has any doubts should watch the Netflix Doc.
