you don't realy want the lube on the outside of the link plates, as it draws all the dust and cack from the road.
new chains come with a thick greasy type oil in the internals, once you get to the point where you need to clean it all out, there never seems to be anything else to get it like new again.
I swish my chains in white spirit, wash in detergent, rinse then dry.
then it's finish line pro road applied to each bushing until it's lubed internally. none on the outside.
