I experimented with a bunch of lubes in 2021 (2020? they all blend together now…), and also tried Smoove —and the similar Squirt before that— and can attest that it does leave a gooey residue behind no matter how careful I was in application. I think it does a good job, but visually it's off-putting.
I've converted my other bike to SCC Slick/Wolftooth Wt-1and will make that my unified lube of choice once the Smoove bottle is finished. Seems to last as long, fairly durable to muck and is definitely easier to apply.
