I use the Park chain cleaner with Zip citrus cleaner and it works great. I run it through the cleaning brushes thirty full chain revolutions and then wipe it off with rags. I wait for a few minutes (usually while doing another bike chain) and wipe it again and then apply lube. I do this once a month unless it's been wet.

I use Zep citrus degreaser in the Park Tool Chain Cleaner and it works great. I run the chain through the brushes for 30 revolutions and wipe it off. Then I let it sit while I do another bike or two at which time I wipe it again and then oil. I do this once a month unless the drive train gets wet in which case I do it immediately when I get home.

Ever try aerosol motorcycle chain wax? The dirt bikers swear by it. Once you get the oil off your chain and get it waxed, no more dirt sticks!

How long does it last?
