I recall from this forum 10-15 ago that it wasn’t hard to demonstrate that the important dirt about chains is inside not on the chains; and the bad news is that it was difficult or futile to rinse or flush all the wear-causing abrasive grit from plain-bearing surfaces.

Which is why some of us lubricate chains with paraffin-oil mixes applied
hot. The wax rejects most of the road grit. Chains stay far cleaner,
last longer and by some tests, are more efficient.
