| To periodically clean my chain I use Rockoil SOC Soluble Degreasant. Its heavily kerosene based, so much so, you'd swear a jet aircraft had been in your garage. The smell hangs around for quite a spell after using it.
This stuff needs no rubbing, unless it is very stubborn grease to remove. All that is needed is water and it just washes away.
Once the chain is dry I apply Wurth High Performance Dry Chain Lube. This product came out as a best seller in Germany and the UK. Its bloody brilliant. (Nice smell to it as well).
The stuff is totally invisable. During application all you see is a very fine mist. First time I used it I thought **** can't see any on the chain, must have missed it somehow, so I went round a second time. Then the penny dropped, it is totally clear. There is no evidence of fling-off following a clean down after a ride. It really is that good.
Now for the hurt part - costs?
Rockoil SOC - £3.98 for a litre
Wurth - £2.98 for 150 mL
Give this combo a try - you won't be disappointed.
