White Lightning Self Cleaning Wax Lubricant Reviews

Description:
Original White Lightning is a totally clean, completely dry, wax lubricant. Because it contains no oil, White Lightning does not absorb dirt and grime.

Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by GoldenGoose   on August 31, 2009   Pros Leaves a layer of wax on the chain to repel dirt and water. Cheap. Cons A little messy if you allow it to drip off the chain. Functions best with a proper chain cleaning in between applications. Verdict While not my favorite chain lube, it's still a functional lube if you a looking for something with a wax base. It can gunk up the chain a bit after repeated applications without washing down your chain. Recommended for: Anyone reviewed by Asfyxiate   on August 14, 2009   Pros It's a lube... Cons Wax lube, extremely messy, attracts dirt. Verdict Not really worth it, it leaves a white film all over your tires/ground if you miss the chain. Also this is a dirt magnet, maybe that's the "self-cleaning", cause you yourself with be cleaning it often. Does not last long at all, I feel like you have to lube after every ride. Another reason not to get this is because it will NOT penetrate as well as other lubes do. Do yourself a favor and walk away from this headache. Recommended for: First-time buyers reviewed by guest on June 3, 2009   Cons Lube doesn't last long -- I was lucky to ever get more than 30-40 miles out of an application. It may be a dry lube, but what it lacks in attracting gunk is overwhelmed by the gunk that it creates by itself. You can't apply it in temps under, say, 50 degrees F, or it will just clump on the outside of the chain. Verdict Skip it. There are so many better lubes available. Recommended for: Clydesdales reviewed by JSurratt   on June 3, 2009   Pros Good stuff, penetrates the rust that gets on the chain. Lubricants chain very well. Cons shake well before use Verdict Good Stuff, would buy again. Recommended for: Anyone
