Finish Line Ceramic Wet Lubricant

A wet lubricant is designed to stay on your chain even when exposed to water, mud, or rain. Unlike dry lubes that evaporate or wash away easily, this formula uses a synthetic base that clings to the drivetrain to provide lasting protection in harsh, messy conditions.

The lubricant uses boron nitride and fluoropolymer particles that bond to the metal surfaces of your chain. With each application, these particles build a slick, ceramic-like coating that reduces friction and actively repels dirt and grime.

Yes, for the best results, you should always start with a clean, dry chain. Applying new lubricant over old, gritty buildup will just trap dirt inside your drivetrain, which accelerates wear and negates the benefits of the ceramic coating.

It is versatile enough for both. While it excels in the wet, muddy conditions typical of mountain biking and cyclo-cross, it is also an excellent choice for road and track cyclists who want a quiet, efficient drivetrain that requires less frequent maintenance.

Because the ceramic coating builds up over time, you will likely find yourself needing to re-lube less frequently than with standard lubricants. However, you should still re-apply whenever your chain starts to sound noisy or if you have ridden through particularly heavy rain or deep mud.
