For me,

Same thing but White Lightning. Put chain in Ziploc bag, add some lube,
shake-shake-shake, remove chain, dry with rag, install.

For super wet conditions, same process with Pro Link.

For muddy conditions, take Pro Link oil with you for mid-ride maintenance.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Lube question

I have used Pedro's Ice wax for yrs. Love it because of cleanliness.
However...

I have become convinced with recent long rides that it really isn't much of
a lubricant! Seems to flake off (the clean thing) and chain is squeaky/dry
by end of a 4/5 hr ride. When I go to dry areas like Arizona it is pretty
un-lubing from the get go!

What are people using that lasts, protects, is good in wet, but doesn't get
all black/gunky (like triflow used to) and make a big greasy mess!

???
Thanks,
