Maxima 74920 Chain Wax - 13.5 oz. Aerosol

So I’ve been using PJ1 Blue for at least 4 years and overall it’s a good product, no complaints. But after I watched a video that tested several chain lubricants and after seeing Maxima place well in every category (much better than PJ1), I decided to give it a try.I did the two step process 1) clean with Maxima Chain Cleaner 2) Apply Maxima Chain Wax. Both product worked outstanding!1) Maxima Chain Cleaner - I was warned in the test video that Maxima cleaner can get past o-ring seals and dilute the factory permanent lub therefore I used it sparingly, spraying onto my chain cleaning brush versus spraying directly on the chain. Scrubbed with the brush then flushed with the garden hose afterwards. No mess and cleaned the chain great.2) Maxima Chain Wax - After the chain dried, I applied the wax. This was a little drippy and messy but not as drippy as PJ1 (both are easy to use). I use a plastic bottle cut in half to catch the overspray and dripping product so very little drips on the ground. The Maxima clung-on and dried faster than PJ1 but not by much. I saturated the chain more than I normally do and was pleased to see it stay on the chain and not drip off. The Maxima seemed to penetrate the rollers better than PJ1 but that’s just a guess. So, if the Maxima last 500 miles (like PJ1) it will be a winner. Some reviewers claim it will go 800 miles, time will tell..

I’m a long time customer. Great for motorcycle chains. I also use this on car door hinges.

This is a good product for street bikes where you don't want to make a big mess

Great product

great wax

The best!

The product may be great but the application has much to be desired. The hose keeps falling off and without the hose the spray is way too wide and gets all over everything.

This works very well. I just think it is overpriced.
