Maxima Chain Wax. It dries, and nothing sticks to it.

I used the chain wax and was not happy with it. TriFlow works ok, but I found I have to keep spraying it on all the time. When I put on a new DID X ring chain the instructions said to just use 80-90w gear oil. That seems to work as good as anything I have used and it's pretty cheap.

I use maxima chain wax also. Using spray it on once a day. We always pressure wash the quads off after the weekend and then I use PJ-1 when it sits or we go to the desert. (no sand dunes)

I was using a synthetic oil that my dealer recommended to me. It was really good for making a complete mess. Sand (or dirt, hell anything) would clump up between the links and was a PITA to remove. I remember a friend's recommendation of chain wax. Got it and haven't been happier. Much less time cleaning. Don't have to scrub the chain forever now.
