Ozcycle: 1 part PTFE to 10 parts paraffin
Friction Facts: 1lb paraffin, 5g PTFE, and 1g molybdenum disulfide (MoS2).

I don't care about the efficiency that much, I just want the cleanliness (being about to touch the drivetrain without getting gunk on hands). I also care about the longevity of the lube (don't want to do the procedure every week).

PTFE is an environmental concern, isn't it? Molybdenum disulfide seems somewhat less of an environmental concern. I wonder if either of those substances make the wax job more long lasting - if so maybe f--- the environment.

If just straight paraffin gets me 90% of the way there without the added substances, I'll probably go that route.
