I bought the Silca super secret in the sales and it's horrible stuff, they managed to turn waxing
into a filthy affair. It's very runny so most of it drips off the chain straight away, there is so much
runoff that my paper towel catching it started dissolving and leaving paper chunks in the chain.
Never had anything similar happen with Squirt.
It dries into a brown gunk and running your finger along the chain leaves stains, not as bad as oil but nothing like clean wax.
Performance wise I can't see a difference, one rainy ride and the chain is stripped anyway.
