I personally like the white lightning clean ride for straight up asphalt riding. The epic ride for mixed surfaces. Wet for winter.

Finish Line Wetlube.
I started silka waxing a few months ago. I’ve never looked back. YMMV.

Best is objectively wax in dry and Silca Synergetic in wet.
None of these, I use Silca Super Secret drip wax. Works great!
There’s a guy who lab tests these and writes 20,000 word analysis of the commonly used lubes. (Relatedly: despite whatever’s in the news this week, autistic people are valued members of our community)

Major takeaways are:
– immersion waxing (any) is really good
– White Lightning is trash
I bought Silka Super Secret after reading way too much of this stuff.
Rock and roll gold ONLY!
I use WPL because they say they use biodegradable materials, no PFAs etc. it works well enough.
It depends on the purpose. I don’t personally use the white lightening products but I often suggest friends/family who just do the rail trail thing use it as it’s widely available and good enough for infrequent riding.
Personally, in order of preference, I use: Rock N Roll gold, Boeshield T9, ProGold ProLink.
