Default Motul chain...paste?

Saw this in a magazine:
Motul - All Products - C5 Chain Paste

The article was about winterizing your bike, recommending it to get good coverage everywhere. Anyone got any info on it? Used it or a similar product? I can see the benefits (no overspray, brush application)

WD40 is the ****! Or Liquid Wrench Silicone Spray is slightly better cause the silicone protective properties will last longer. I tried Motul oil once in my bike...shifted nice but it wasn't any better performing than HP4 and it's twice the cost just because of the name, i'm sure it's the same with some grease/paste which for me is just too messy. It sounds kind of **** but I spray down my chain and wipe it clean after every ride because I won't use grease..too much sand and grit get picked up by it to be good for a $150-$200 chain and sprockets. I don't know Motul to put out anything thats crappy so if grease is the way you want to go it's prolly good stuff.

I'd just use my regular DuPont Teflon chain lube, available at Lowe's, and apply a good coat. It's not going to come off while sitting in my basement for 4 months.

+1 on the Dupont. Doesn't sling off and protects well.
