If you want the really Really REALLY GOOD STUFF?
Try this out and you'll be impressed. Comes in a spray can about the size of a large can of WD40.
Motorex Chain Clean 611
If you can find this stuff, give it a shot. Spray it on and hose it off. If your chain is not loaded with gunk, it will be like new with one application. If the chain is really nasty you will end up doing it twice.
The stuff is a bit spendy but worth every dime if you have been using kerosene or WD40 with a scrub brush. Takes me about five minutes to clean, dry and wax my chain.
I'm not yanking your chain on this one, really good stuff.
You boys whose been using WD40, throw that **** away. It does more harm than good. Spray it on and wipe it off with a rag and your chain looks clean as new. But where it counts, down in the cracks and crannies around your Orings all it does is oil up the dirt and grit that is already in there making the bad stuff stick like glue. WD40 is a penetrating oil and it does it's job very well. It soaks in and around the Orings and clings to it like a fat woman to a doughnut. And guess what, as soon as you head down the road that oil base is gathering up every little piece of grit that comes in contact with it and acts just like sand paper. As we all know, Orings and sandpaper don't cohabitate for very long.
Clean your chain with a good chain cleaner or kerosene. Use hipressure water to clean the chain of all residue then apply a light coat of wax (After it's dry of course). Clean and wax your chain regularly and it will last 30K miles, no problem.
