DuPont Teflon Multi-Use chain lube is one of our all-time favorites. DuPont Teflon Chain-Saver is now commercially available also with a slightly different formulation.

Interesting concept but it seems more cumbersome than simply cleaning the chain with kerosene. Our continuous search for the easiest...
The “Improved Formula” Liquid Wrench chain lube is a pretty close approximation of the original and sorely missed DuPont Teflon Multi-Use Dry Wax Lubricant (review).
