Do they recommend that each time or just the first time? Or each time it is thoroughly cleaned? I use the 1 or 2 drop method with Squirt and the bottle lasts a long time. If I'm doing a newly prepped chain I may ride it once or twice and then do it again. I never soak the chain with the stuff as you wipe off the excess anyway.
And the thing I like about Squirt is it comes in a squeeze bottle all ready to use. No mixing, no fussing and no fuels and smells. It is enough of a fuss to have to squeeze the bottle.
As I said above, I don't stress about it.
