Default Chain lube

Can anyone recommend a good chain lube? Noticed today that the chain on my bike is lookin a lil rusty. probably because of all the water it took to clean the damn thing off. So i wanna lube it up before any lasting damage happens.

Thanks yall

Not sure about rust, but in general...
Honda (HP) Chain Lube (Red can)

**Contains genuine DuPont TEFLON and moly for superior lubrication.
Dries fast, leaving a protective film that wont fling off.
Repel dirt and water.
Superb rust protection.
Contains no chlorinated solvents.
Dye-less formula won't stain white paint.
Approved for use on O-ring and standard chains. **

Use Simple green (if you use anything else, you could destroy the "o" rings on your chain) and brush the crap off or pressure wash it off using a rear stand. Then, use Bell Ray SuperClean Chainlube!! Apply it on the inside of your chain links as you run the bike on 1st gear (roll the tire by hand if your not comfortable doing this).

I've tried all chain lubes and nothing comes close to Bell Ray SuperClean for street riding. It's white colored, stays on, and needs cleaning when it's not white- that simple!

I got some of the HP spray. It is good. soaked in a dried really fast. Would have been easier to apply if I had a rear stand though. I really need to get one of those. =/

It'll actually look like it's dry, but it's awesome, doesn't fling at all!!
