It was a completely ostentatious (mis-)use of the product.
It also took freakin' forever to wipe the chain down afterwards to the point where it wasn't spraying chain lube every which way with every pedal stroke and leaving oily grease marks on anything that came within 18" of the drivetrain.
But man did that chain come out spotless, and run smoothly and silently!
Just for grins I'm going to give that a try with the Prolink and one or two varieties of the Rock 'N Roll. They're actually not crazy expensive if you buy the larger bottles. I'll start with a clean-scrubbed chain first instead of depending on the lube to do the cleaning.
