I have been using SCC slick for a couple of years and I love it most of the year but I don’t find it as long lasting or effective in the wettest seasons as GRAX. With GRAX, if I don’t do anything post-ride, (a rare occasion when I’m in a rush or get injured) my chain won’t be rusty the next morning, which isn’t what I’ve found with SCC. I also haven’t found it leaves any residue to speak of (although I haven’t tried Smoove for comparison).
Something I have adopted from the SCC Tech directions is a full chain clean after every ride, even in the dry or when reapplying lube isn’t yet required. I just run it through a rag until the rag comes clean, moving to a clean spot on every few rotations. It seems to keep things running better and hopefully extends drivetrain life.
