I wish my camera wasn't broke or I would love to have taken a picture of how well Simple Green Max worked. I use Maxim chain wax which doesn't come off very well with just soap and water. I've been wanting to try a something easy, so I took a gamble and bought this stuff at Pep Boys. It was about 6 dollars for a 32oz spray bottle. Well it worked great took the wax right off and not being oil base it rinsed with water and left the chain and sprocket looking almost new. Anyway it took very little effort and time.
