Castrol Chain Wax is a synthetic motorcycle chain lube that sprays
on as a
mildly thick wax. It dries hard and leaves a coating.
We weren't able to determine if it penetrates the chain or side plates any
better or worse than other lubricants.
The sprayer is nicely focused and the
product can be applied without much overspray, so the
efficiency of the delivery mechanism is fairly high;
i.e., good value for the money because it puts the
product on the chain without a lot of waste. Once
it sets on the chain, it has good cling properties, so
there is little to no fling off.
We found that it's best to use this product on
a warm (but not too hot) chain for best penetration.
Castrol Chain Wax can be relatively expensive
-- it's more than twice the cost per unit than our least
expensive (and favorite) chain lube of this batch.
If you like a relatively thick chain lube spray, this is a good
one. It's fairly easy to find at motorcycle shops, or you can use
our link to the
Motorcycle Superstore.
