I have an inkling that you have previously answered this question and the answer was "No", which then prompts me to ask if you are not curious to test out one of the more well known and hyped waxes?
No, I haven’t tried it. It’s comparative new and I have a huge stock of other wax lubes (Rock ‘n’ Roll Red, Gold, and White Lightning) to work through. It takes quite a while for me to get through a bottle of chain lube. I bought a box of 12 bottles of White Lightning at Veloswap soon after it was introduced in the late 90s. I think I may have a bottle (or two) still hanging around. About 4 years ago, I decided to try the Rock ‘n’ Roll line and I still have most of 2 bottle still left over. It takes me a while to use up a lubricant and, since I get results I can live with, I don’t generally try new stuff.

I may get around to trying Squirt but I’m not in a hurry.
