Chain lube/cleaning

I even took my chain off and left it overnight in a ice cream tub of parafin.

I did have the swingarm off at the time.

Thanks chaps.
After my last post I found this comparison of ease of use and cost of various lubes.

really? i've always found muc off to be brilliant, especially at getting nasty old dead flies off! the old parafin on the wheels is bloomin good and i've just bought some autoglym bike shine stuff, so will see how that goes after the next wash.
