White Lightning was also a pretty bad product. I jumped on that bandwagon for a while and gave up quickly.
Waxing in a pot is completely different and will definitely prolongue the lifetime of your drivetrain. It makes a significant improvement in chainwear, etc. Can't imagine ever going back to oil based lubes.
