Lube!

Given up on the White Lightning Clean; went out Saturday morning for a longish ride and topped up the lube before leaving but after about 3 hours riding in dry weather I was grinding metal in an alarming way.

Ducked into Evans and grabbed some Finishline Pro Road ceramic and it's a bit of a revelation. Utter silence.

Me too. It hardly seems to last any time at all before the chain is grinding away. I'm not exactly the most regular at cleaning and shit, so for the winter I've gone back to gloopy wet lube. lovely and smooth and quiet, but has made a right mess of my lovely shiny Phil cog. meh.
