Might have to give this Squirt a go.
Always used Finish Line stuff but like whats-is-name said, it attracts crap like no ones business!

Ballistol Oil.....it's a universal oil ...skin friendly (dermatest rated as - very good) enviro friendly ...made in Germany . I use it on every part of the bike other than the discs. As a universal oil it also works well on wood, leather,metal etc...it's not exactly cheap and individual cans can be bought online from wwwballistolstore.co.uk ...but compared in price to other premium products it works out well. Other products in the range include Stichfrei ...an extremely effective insect repellent ...Deet free...skin friendly , uv rated to a factor of 6 and also works as a sports massage oil and Pluvonin... A waterproofing spray that is approved for technical / breathable garments ( bike jackets ) as well as leather, fleeces , wax jackets, tents , awnings etc. This is not meant as a sales pitch ....purely for info only but it would be wrong of me not to mention the fact that I work in a trade sales capacity for the company ...so some might say I have a fairly biased opinion!.... This also means that I can't supply individual cans or free samples... but may be able to arrange something in terms of a prize for a competition at some stage ... Of course if anyone out there is from the trade and interested ... I'm all ears! |

I quite like the finish line wet. Yes it gets dirty, but it cleands off after the ride with all the other muck  |

Im another Squirt convert here! After giving it a second try, i will not use any other lube now... It works, and works well. Drivetrain looks alot better, not coming back covered in mud. You dont even have to degrease the chain, just apply a new layer of squirt. However, i usually do give it a good clean, just to get that like new look! Run it on both my MTB and Fixie and have had no problems with it so far. Bottle has lasted a long time too, not even a 1/4 into it yet and i've been using it all summer! My drivetrain is silent, and shifting is good...
Not sure how well it will cope with the very muddy winters, i will just have to wait and see

I use Muc Off ceramic wet or dry depending on conditions. Same here, found it to be great stuff. Only draw back is you have to lube your chain a few hours before use, ok if you remember! Be back on the wet stuff soon  |

I use Squirt through the winter - it's THAT good. just have to apply every ride that's all, instead of every couple in the summer.
