I've also used Militec 1 for several years, and while I've never had any complaints about it as a lube I've tended to shy away from it after learning it could be a carcinogen.
At first I tried a standard 20 or 30 weight Mobil 1 and was really impressed. Later I went with the 50 weight Mobil 1 and have been hooked ever since. Like any good lube, clean up is fast and easy when kept wet. No scrubbing or brushing, just a good wipe down and re-lube.
Leonidas,
Not being conflictive (is that a word?:eek:) at all, just relaying my personal experience with lubes over the past few years. I don't think the brand of lube is nearly as important as choosing a decent lube and applying in properly. ie. keep it wet.
