So.. you take away considerations for water, or dust/dirt gunking things up.. what do you use on your indoor trainer bike?

I use nothing but this: https://gourmetgroceries.com/product...SABEgIZufD_BwE

Since I am indoors I cannot show off the bike so at least I can show the salesman I can be a balleur.
