Finish Line Krytech Wax Lube

I've been using this stuff for about two weeks. It just seems to disappear
after a few day's riding. I applied it according to the instructions. I have
applied it about three times since the initial degreasing and application.
Am I doing something wrong here? Anyone had success with it?

It's a summer lube - you're doing well to get it to last 3 days at this time
of year

Ah!

Didn't say so on the bottle.

Thanks,

I use White Lightning in summer and White Lightning Raceday in winter

After trying everything else, I'm back to 3-in-1 oil. No more messy
than anything else and a lot more lubricating than some.

No, you are doing something right... for Finish Line: giving them your
money. I reckon it's cheaper to buy several new chains a year than it is
to use these overpriced, price-fixed hard wax products.

Castrol/Halfords Chain Wax* is a compromise lube: Although stickier, it's
cheaper and longer lasting than Krytech or WL yet still cleaner than oil.

* in the motorcycle section, not just designed for o-ring chain though.

3-in-1 is more messy than wax.

No. That's what it does. A complete waste of money.

Maybe ok in California or in a heatwave here. Maybe.

I use a thick oil in winter and a light "dry" lube in summer. Works
fine.

It's a waster of time, money and space IME. Derailleur mice thrive on it.

P.S. Has anyone ever tried putting their chain in a cloth bag or two and
rinsing (following a lengthy soaking in degreaser, obv.) it in the washing
machine?

Given that chains cost not very much and washing machines are expensive?

No.
