Brake parts cleaner (from the auto parts store) does a good job of cleaning a new bike chain. I think (IIRC), brake parts cleaner uses the same ingredient also used in dry cleaning. The spray can makes application easy. Outdoor use only.
I've have Prolink and White Lighting, which are completely different chain lubes. I prefer White Lightning, most likely because of it's name.
