About 10 to 15 years ago I bought a spray can of Schwinn Poly-Tech Lubricant. I found it one if not the best chain lubricant I have ever used. Has anyone ever heard of it and, if so, what is your opinion of it and do you know where to get more? I find it was good for many lubrication tasks. It had Teflon in it, but there appeared to be a waxy base to it. It did not hold dirt well, but it still had a good film.
I am down to about 5% of it left and would sure like to find some.
I just found 1/2 can of that exact same Schwinn Polytech lube (w/ Teflon) in my garage and used it on two bikes yesterday. I searched on the internet and am not able to locate it anywhere. When my can reaches empty, I think I'm going to give PJ1 (Black) or Maxima Chain Guard a try...

Both PJ-1 and Maxima Chain Guard are great lubes, but you may want to go with the Maxima if there's much dust or dirt where you ride. I've used both a lot on motorcycle chains and PJ-1 tends to attract the grime. Amsoil also has a great lube that is very similar to Chain Guard called Heavy Duty Metal Protector. It's also good for rustproofing the inside of steel frames.

Found a nearly identical lub by Dupont (Multi-lub) at Lowes. I also found a full can of the Schwinn Poly-Tech at a bicycle shop in Petoskey, MI.
