White Lightning's Clean Ride product is a self-cleaning, wax-based lubricant for bicycle chains, derailleurs, and cables. It sets up as a dry wax finish, shedding dirt and grime while you ride and helping to keep your bike running smoothly. Small particles of the outer wax structure will flake off, taking the dirt, grime or grit with it, which begins the cycle of "self-cleaning." There is no oily film to attract abrasive contaminants, so your chain and gears will perform better and last up to three times longer.

Clean Ride is a unique, wax-based lubricant, so it is important to start with a clean chain. For optimum "self-cleaning" performance, do not mix Clean Ride with oil based lubricants, and note that the dirtier your most recent ride, the more active the shedding action. To this extent, Clean Ride will require more frequent re-application after dirtier rides and, when used regularly and properly, you'll rarely have to clean your chain again. (U.S. patents 5,472,625; 5,670,463; 5,885,947; and 5898022.)

About White Lightning
In 1994, retired research chemist Paul Maples was determined to find a way to end the messy inconvenience and performance inefficiencies caused by the dirt, grease, and grime build up on his bike chain. He set out to develop the first and only chain lube that would "self-clean," which he dubbed Clean Ride. The product actually repels and sheds dirt and grime from your chain and parts while you ride, and was so unique it was awarded four U.S. patents. In 2000, Paul sold White Lightning to Hank Krause, who had been developing performance bicycle lubricants since the mid 1980s. Krausse and his team took over, and -- with continued collaboration from Maples -- the result has been a steadily growing line of bike maintenance products.
