When I first started cycling 8 years ago I was amazed at the cost of the little squirt bottles of lube. I then found Castrol's Chain Wax, an aerosol spray at a motorbike shop. My LocalBikeShop said it was thick for a bicycle chain, but that they used it and it worked. I still have the same 400ml can 6 years later, nearly finished, with the price tag still on it- R92.33. I have 5 bikes (use them all 3 road 2 MTB  - that's for another rave), and use the Castrol product on them all.    

At the Argus Expo i came across Giant's Fresh Speed Citrus Chain Wax, for R45.

Can anyone expound on the pro's and cons of these 2 products in terms of their experience, especially the Giant, since I have no experience of it?

When I was a laaitie we used whatever grease we could find in the garage, and never had any issues other than black marks down our legs or trousers.  Any lube is better than no lube!
