Pros & Cons
Pros
Just bought my second quart container and couldn't be happier with it. The dispenser bottle is key (and ample mixing), as it lets you apply it drip by drip to each link. The product works just like it's supposed to.
Clean ride still calls for a solid cleaning of chain before initial application. After that it is just reapplied, resuspending and washing off the dirt. Yes, it is a bit tedious to have to reapply, but it beats oil lubes and their mess.
Cons
The image and description are misleading. Shows a large 32 oz refill bottle, but the product is actually only 4oz. What i got very small tubes it’s not the same container as they show. Not returnable because it contains flammable liquid.
It's not very good at the actual lubricating or quieting of the drive. Most everything you put in dries away and the remainder is not a very good lube. Adding more diluted lube just doesn't work.
Parafin is a pain. Very disappointing. No thanks. What a disappointment.
Highlights
Quality
So far i am satisfied with result
As advertised this product keeps the chain and drive train super clean
Combined with the pedros chain pig ii chain cleaner i think i have a winning protocol here
The others barely lasted one ride while i can get 23 rides with the white lightning on both my mountain and rode bikes
Competitiveness
Easy to apply lubed chain and wipe excess off with towel
This time ordered 8oz for testing and really happy with it
After trying other chain lubes i have returned to white lightning clean ride
With other lubes i was cleaning the chain twice a week

It works great certainly simpler that removing your chain and dipping in hot parrafin but it is very thin
