Maxima chain wax
+4 - Chris
ps, the cleaning is important. So is applying it when chain has some heat (ie after a ride), spray on, then wipe off all excess and clean sprockets while your there. Remove front sprocket cover and clean there well.

I'm a Motorex fan. Notice the lack of consensus. Just use what works for you.

Another one for Motorex. Apply it to a warm chain, let it sit and wipe of the excess. Stays reasonably clean, minimal fling.

DuPont Teflon Multi-Use Lubricant
I just sprayed some on my chain last night.
I've been using it long enough to go through the full life of one chain. The chain lasted 13,000 miles, which is pretty typical for me, and about the same as with Maxima Chain wax. It still looked beautiful, but had stretched unevenly so that there were tight spots and loose spots. It might have been adjusted a bit too tight at one time or something.
I like the Teflon stuff because it attracts less dirt, has less stuff flinging off onto my wheel (although Maxima Chain wax was pretty good in that area too), and smells nicer when you apply it. Plus it is a great lubricant for a lot of other things that you can't use Chain Wax on.
As far as I know, about the only place you can buy it is at Lowe's.

+1 more, although I recently picked up the liquid bottle form and it's pretty nice not getting overspray over everything... didn't pick it up on purpose, but have a bunch of bottles of it now that I gotta get through...

Yup, I bought a small liquid bottle to keep in my tank bag for longer trips (+500 miles) so I can lube up up en route...

So for you guys using the Dupont, what do you use as a cleaner? Say if I were to switch, I'd likely clean off the old chain wax before putting on the Dupont. Thing with Maxima is that I use it as a cleaner and a lube. I'm not terribly fond of the idea of hosing my chain down with WD40 like some people say. I'm one of the paranoid types that thinks it could get to the O-ring inside and eat it up. So what else could I use?

I use kerosene. It works much better than WD-40 and is good for cleaning other things as well. It's safe for chain O-rings. Plus if your lights go out, you can put it in one of those old "oil" lamps and burn it to provide light.
I bought about two gallons at the local Orchard Supply Hardware store, which should last me twenty or thirty years.

+1 more for kerosene for cleaning. Works great, but eats up my plastic cleaning tools.

WD40 is pretty much kerosene.
