I guess that's what I didn't understand about wet - dry. I've always used a spray, or liquid that seemed to always keep the chain oily & turned it black. I noticed this bottle of liquid said dry on it, so I cleaned the chain, then applied it, & then noticed it wasn't oily.
I didn't know basically dry meant wax, living out in the sticks, I was just used to when lubing something it remained oily. Dry lube to me, was something like the graphite powder; wax was something that, from what I'd read, I wanted to stay away from; & everything else remained with a wet, oily look.
