A few years ago I switched from a molten wax dip to Chain-L. I liked the cleanness of the wax but it lasted like 3 days before the chain got noisy, especially if I had a wet ride. Chain-L lasts at least 1,000 miles before I need to relube. It is a thick, sticky oil that contains no solvent. After I apply a drop per link and allow it to migrate into the chain, I wipe the outside clean, repeating the wiping every day every few days until I relube. The chain stays fairly clean. I used remove a chain and clean it with solvents; however I found that with Chain-L it is not functionally necessary to do this. Just wipe often, re-lube, when you start hearing a bit of noise, and replace the chain when it's worn. Easy peasy, and no messing with solvents.

Good luck whatever you do or use.
