Default Best chain lube or wax

Whats the best lube or wax to use that doesn't flop all over evrything? I've tried a few different ones so far. The best i've found is the PJ1 Black label so far but that still goes everywhere. I have chrome rims and no chain gaurd so I'm constantly cleaning and polishing them. Any input would be great. Gonna get a chain gaurd but I think it will still go all over.

Bel-Ray is some good stuff (the white stuff) and doesn't fling much at all. I use 90W gear oil myself which works very well, but it does fling a little bit more. Excellent lubrication though and that's what I need

I use Motorex racing chain lube with Teflon. What I do is put it on the night before and let it sit over nigh, I get very little fling.
as for white lithium ya it will be ok on o-rings but it will fling and make a mess if you use it on your chain, my new EK chain had white lithium on it when i opened the box. I used it for engine break in when i rebuilt motors it would help with not letting it dry start

Yeah I just put on an RK chain kit and the chain was covered in what looked like white lithium. I have always used chain wax in the past.
