I don't know about SS, but after a few weeks of FG in crappy weather I find if I try to degrease my chain and cog before re-lubricating I end up with a horrible crunchy-feeling drivetrain where I've worked a load of grit onto the chain contact surfaces and into the rollers. I'll completely degrease and clean if I'm changing the chain, but most of the time I just add lube and wipe the worse of the crud off while avoiding the cog and chainring teeth.
