FWIW, I use Squirt wax lube on my pakiT. Apply and let dry overnight. Next day it is absolutely clean and non-transferable. I use public transit a LOT with my pakiT folded and I have to carry it chain-side next to me - zero grease on my clothing. No grease on my hands if the chain drops and needs to be replaced. I rarely have a bit of white wax which just rubs right off. And, no, I'm not affiliated nor own Squirt. Just gotta start with a perfectly clean chain. A belt drive is very clean also. Just not a big deal.
