Chain Saver-Saver - Wax Based Lubricant

Works great on bicycles. No need to pre clean the chain. It dry's in approx. 40 mins in dry weather. I ride near the ocean and there is sand here and there but mostly a clean ride. It keeps the chain lubed and clean for approx. 100 miles. Then I notice the chain start to skip a bit. It works well in winter on salted roads but needs to be applied more often. It does not allow any gunk on the drive train including the cassette, so I don't have to clean it.

Dry lubes don't hold sand and grit that turn into a paste. This paste grinds away our expensive bicycle parts. Of all the dry lubes I have used, this Dupont Chain Saver works the best. The price is good and Amazon makes it easily available. It takes about 3-4 generous applications to flush the old oils and grease out before the chain will remain clean. I ride 60-100 miles a week on the coastal streets of SW Florida. Sand is everywhere on the pavement. I would never go back to the high maintenance of the popular oils. To clear one thing up, this Dupont Chain Saver has plenty of wax in it. The user just needs to make sure the can is well shaken before spraying. In the last 4 years I used many cans and every can had all the wax needed to lubricate well. The wax flows into the chain rollers better when the air is warm. It cleans it self each time as well. It seems the liquid carrier does the cleaning and the wax and Teflon remain once evaporated. I just use it on the chain, I can't speak for other parts. I don't skimp on it but keep in mind it serves as a cleaner and a lube. A pre wipe down with a dry rag can save some product. I apply it every 60-100miles. This one step process saves me a lot of time. Once you get a system of catching the runoff, you will never look back. EDIT 2025: 26000 miles using this lube as a one step process. One cassette and one aluminum chain ring so far. I don't skimp on the usage of this chain saver product though. I one-step lube/clean every 60-100 miles.

Works great. Much better than oil. Dupont doesn't skimp either. Good value. Simply shoulder toward kickstand, using one hand to spin wheel and other to spray. Couldn't be easier.

Good product, keeps my bike chains much cleaner than wet lubricants. However the can pressure seems to be low, and the pressure was zero when a lot of lubricant was still inside.

Works well to make old aluminum windows operate smoothly.

I've been riding motorcycles for decades and have tried every lube product that's come down the pike. Most have done a great job of protecting the chain but all have had the same shortcomings – the lube flings off the chain and onto the bike's body parts when riding and the lube is sticky and attracts dust and dirt, which adds unnecessary wear to the chain and sprockets. By contrast, DuPont's Chain Saver goes on wet but dries to a clear, almost invisible non-tacky coating that doesn't fling off and does not attract dirt, dust or debris. It's a very well thought-out product! Now that I've discovered it, I cannot imagine myself ever using anything else. Like all other spray-on chain lubes, it can be messy to apply so I use a large trash bag as a disposable tarp, covering up my rear stand, the bottom of the wheel and tire, and the cement floor underneath the tire. After lubing I toss the bag in the trash and voila! – there's no mess. The Chain Saver takes about 20 minutes to set up but after that the bike is ready to ride. I spray on a little more after a few hundred miles then clean it off with kerosene and start afresh about every 1000 miles or so. It comes off easily when it's time to remove it. Incidentally I also tried the liquid version of DuPont's Chain Saver in the squeeze bottle, thinking I'd net more product because there's no propellant, but it seemed to take a lot more lube to get the same coverage as I got with the spray version. And the per ounce cost of the liquid version is significantly higher. So, my advice is to go with the spray version.

Nice chain lube, keep your chain clean and lubricated and it will last is how it usually goes. Used this on my stand up gas scooter haven't broke a chain yet. I usually add it right before I ride and I'm good for the day. Definitely more liquid-like than types that I've used in the past, but seems to still do the trick.
