Product Description

The Legendary Self-Cleaning Lubricant. You've known and loved White Lightning for its "Original Self-Cleaning Lube" - but boy, what a long name… and we know we all use it because it stays clean - so we've renamed it, but no worries, no changes have been made to the formula - it's the same lube but now with a new name that says it all, in just two words; Clean Ride..! Clean Ride is Cycling's Only Self-Cleaning Lubricant. Clean Ride literally sheds dirt & grime while you ride, keeping your bike running smoothly. Clean Ride sets up as a dry wax film. There is no oily film to attract abrasive contaminants, so your chain and gears will perform better and last 2 to 3 times longer. Clean Ride's self-cleaning action is activated by any dirt, grit or grime that finds it's way onto your chain or parts. Small particles of the outer wax structure will flake off, taking the dirt, grime or grit with it. This begins the cycle of 'self-cleaning'. Clean Ride is a unique, wax-based lubricant, so it is important to start with a clean chain. For optimum 'self-cleaning' performance, do not mix Clean Ride with oil based lubricants. The dirtier the ride, the more active the shedding action. So to this extent, Clean Ride will require more frequent re-application after dirtier rides. When Clean Ride is used regularly and properly, you'll rarely have to clean your chain again. So, while your buddies are cleaning their chains, you'll be applying a fresh shot of Clean Ride and heading out for yet another great ride!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for bicycle chains, February 18, 2010

This review is from: White Lightning Clean Ride the Original Self-Cleaning Wax Bicycle Chain Lubricant, 4-Ounce Drip Squeeze Bottle (Sports)

I have used White Lightning (now Clean Ride) for years and find it to be more than satisfactory. I have always thoroughly cleaned my bike chains before applying using a good organic degreaser. Warming the chain with a heat gun helps. The Clean Ride advantages over oil and grease are (1) starts out extremely thin so it penetrates everything and then dries to a wax film, (2) because it is dry, dirt and sand do not readily stick to it, keeping the chain cleaner, (3) stays put, does not fly off getting all over everything.

For the above reasons, I tried Clean Ride anywhere I normally needed a lubricant, but didn't want the oily mess. Door hinges, locks, machine screws, etc. I find in most circumstances it exceeds my expectations and it seems to last a very long time. Does not replace oil or grease in machinery, but for intermittent or low speed mechanical equipment it works very well.

I have not used it extensively on non-metal parts so I cannot comment on how it works with them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wax is FOREVER, May 8, 2007

It seems like a great lube if you want your chain to stay dry, BUT it is best applied to a NEW super-clean chain or else you'll only be bonding dirt to your chain permanently. Meaning... super hot water and even getting on your hands and knees with a toothbrush wont take this stuff off. It's pretty much permanent.

This is the product recommended by SOG knives to lubricate the blade pivot on their knives and it works very well. It does not attract dirt and is not oily.
