I'm almost afraid to ask this after the WD-40 triology that we just had.
OK, I've go to my courage up now - what is your favorite, widely available
*spray* lubricant? I have been using a Dupont, Teflon spray that is fair to
middlin'. What's your favorite, *other than* WD-40 - we'll just assume that
it's someone's favorite. ;-)

I've been using industrial chain lubricant lately on all
sorts of mechanical things. It's heavy, it clings to and
penetrates moving parts. It's quite useful.

For chains, use the Dupont Teflon spray sold at Lowe's,
"http://www.nordicgroup.us/chain/teflonmultiuse.jpg" or one of the
lubricants designed specifically for chains, i.e. PJ1 Black Label Chain
Lube.

I've had good results with PB Blaster, at Napa auto parts,
and more recently Home Depot. Anything with that
unprofessional can is probably pretty good. It's pretty
good.

Others swear by Castle Thrust.

Also good results with Snap brand silicone. The silicone
(1.79 a can) from walmart has very little silicone. I
sprayed a bicycle chain one time. The solvent rinsed off the
chain oil, and the silicone was non functioning. The chain
set up like a rock. By that time, the bike was out of state,
gone home with the boy who got a bike for a present. I felt
like a real ass, at that moment.

I've had reasonable results with the Kroil line. And Deep
Lube worked well, but not sure it's available any more.

Tri Flow is a Teflon based lube that works really well. Silicone spray is
good for some things, but should not be used around cars as it can kill your
O2 sensor really quick.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.

I had a similar bicycle chain problem using some Teflon mold release
spray that someone was tossing out and gave to me. It really made the
chain look clean and function well but without oil the chain rusted rapidly.

Well it depends on the application. I use a lot of zep 2000, comes out
like water, then gels into a grease. Great for chains, garage door
rollers, etc. I also use a fair amount of PB blaster.

LPS-1 .. .. .. GREAT stuff !!

Totally agree...been using it for 25+years!
Other posts, OP says "Spray Lubricant"...PbB and LPS1 are not very
good at lubricating.

3-in-1 makes a spray lubricant that is quite good. A can lasts me
more than 10 years for me, because I prefer the more choice non-spray
type lubricants.
