DuPont Teflon 11-oz. Teflon Multi-Use Lubricant not a dry lube

Chain saver however is still a 'dryer' lubricant

Other general purpose lube reviews

Do you apply the dry lube when the chain is still wet from washing? Or do you wait til it drys and then apply lube?

Re: O Ring Chain: Diesel vs Kerosene

For best results apply to a dry chain. Like I said wipe off what you can and then ride bike to do the rest.
