'watches the worms escape'

I would go for a scotty, personally. There are dozens of reasons all listed out several times around the forum.

Profi Dry Lube, almost no flick off.

I agree PJ1 is possibly the best I've used, seems to do the job. But...it does create rather a lot of black tar stuff that can get everywhere. Doesn't go down well when it's found on the living room carpet...

I've used Shell Chain wax too, that was ok but IMO chain waxes and dry lubes look a bit toilet when they're on the chain. I'm not that keen on my chain sticking out like a sore thumb.

agreed

and also castrol chain wax is clingy stuff (just give it a while to dry before blasting off) and it does have a white colour when on the chain unlike profi which is clear
