My experience has been 4 to 5 applications, but each application extends the frequency of relubing. Not sure what it contains or how it works, all I know it does work. It doesn't remain as clean as a waxed base lube such as Rock N Roll, but if you wipe the chain off after every ride the chain remains fairly clean, but even with Rock N Roll you were still suppose to wipe the chain down after every ride.
