Anybody Use MFR Pro Gold Chain Lube?

I read this stuff is supposed to be pretty good, but is not thick and sticky so it won't attract dirt. It also doesn't fly off and make a mess. It's supposed to be thin enough to penetrate past the O rings into the links.

Anybody try it yet?

Here are some reviews of it:

As far as not throwing off, I have better luck with Chain Wax. Otherwise this stuff seems OK but it will fly off.

I wonder if the best way would be to use a thin penetrant like this Pro Gold, wipe off the outer excess and then seal it with chain wax.

The objective is to get lube in past the O ring and keep it there.

I've never heard of it, but it sounds good. Commercial chain lubes that harden are no good for chain life. Any lube that hardens and is damn near impossible to clean falls into the no good catagory. I clean my chain with a rag every time I clean a motorcycle, and wipe the rear wheel with a dry rag too and chain lube wipes right off clean and easy. If you can say that about your lube, you are in good shape. It sounds like this lube would fall into that. If you clean your chain and wheel and find they are a sticky mess, then you are in bad shape as far as lube goes and your chain will complain by wearing out in short order.
