I can't speak for what others use and for that matter, I don't even have a chain drive!LOL BUT, I came across some stuff a few years back from a motorcycle shop called "NO-FLING". It's for trail bikes and such and is a thick spray-on lube that dries in a few minutes. Then you simply wipe it down and that's it. Great lube and it stays put! Keeps grit and mud from getting inside chain parts. Many other uses too.
