I also use Prolink and think it is a good lube, but cannot say it is particularly clean. I find that
200 miles is about the most I can get without reapplying. I use the Prolink spray liberally and then
blow the chain with air. Then the Prolink chain lube and a good wiping with a rag. It is clean for
awhile, but nowhere as clean as White Lightning. However it does not build up like WL and therefore
the process of cleaning and lubing I just descripted in quick and easy.
