Broadly: oil-based (wet) lubes are more water resistant but attract gunk and turn into black sticky goo on your chain, grease-based (wet) lubes are more water and mud resistant but attract even more gunk, and wax (dry) lubes attract little gunk but wash off more easily.
Keeping this in consideration, is wax a good lubricant?
Generally wax based lubes (here, I'm not talking about dipping your chain in hot paraffin wax, but of liquid lubes with wax in them) are best in dry conditions. “Wet” lubes are best in wet conditions. Wax based lubes are a type of “dry” lube. Wax based lubes tend to reject dry dust and dirt quite well.
Also Know, what is the difference between chain lube and chain wax?
The only real difference is the way to apply it to the chain. Lube is more fluid and it will take time for the oil to penetrate the o-rings properly.
Motul Chain Lube is better than 3M. Motul Chain Lube helps in diminishing rubbing between metal connections and reducing wear and tear. A very much oiled chain will move with less protection, will last more, and won't destroy alternate parts of the drive prepare.
