The nice people at GBs only stock Finish line I think, so I know what they will tell you.

Cheers

Always liked White Lightening, but after what everyone's said here I'll definately give Finish Line a go next time, sounds like it's the Holy Grail of lubricants :D .

I've been trying Ice Wax

which is supposed to clean your chain and lubricate it. Seems ok on the commuting bike (which is to say, it hasn't washed off in 2 weeks).

Red Finish Line is pretty good though, but not keen on the gloopy Krytech version - just sits like a knob of butter on your chain.
