You know there are these new fangled things called “cameras” out there. Lots of phones seem to have them. You could take a picture so that we can all be amazed.

I’ll show you mine first. The chain hasn’t been cleaned nor wiped before the picture was taken. I never wipe my chain because I don’t need to. Nor do I clean my chain except for before install. This chain has 630 miles on it since it was cleaned and installed, including one refresh of the wax ( I use solvent wax) at 430 miles.





You can see that there is minimal transfer of any kind of dirt to my fingers. The reason I don’t believe your claims is that I’ve never seen an oiled chain that wasn’t filthy. I’ve handled thousands of them.
