What to spray on underside of guards to keep mud from sticking?

Home Brand/ NoFrills Canola Oil spray - $3.20 a can - lasts for ages, also use as chain oil, air filter oil, anti corrosion between washes. Been using it for years.....

OK Naked Chef, I just googled this stuff and its cooking oil, is that correct? if so does it stay wet and attract dust? do you put it on every ride.

Do you followed by hungry sea gulls?

If you get it on your exhaust it smells like a chish and fips shop
But its a clear- slightly tacky oil that attracts dust- after a few days,great for air filters as it just washes in the sink with hot water and sunlight liquid.
But applied just before a ride it is slippery and keeps the mud from building up. how muddy are my tracks? see this-

That's not mud, it's just brown water!

This is mud:

But will have to try the Canola trick.

My mate uses DOTS cooking spray. He says its great for rust prevention and chain lube also.

Rito Mr Weta, I'll try cooking spray next time I ride - I had a can of spray-on chain oil and the piddly thing was $10 so saving money has gotta be good.

Off topic but if anyone else is interested in "dual-use" technology I've found that the alcohol based hand sanitiser ya take hunting for sterilising your hands before butchering an animal works a treat as a fire gel for getting the campfire started - just a capful on a flat rock can get those damp twigs away and burning

off-topic follow up: wondering if it would be any good as bead lube for trail-side puncture repairs?

I use silicon spray that works pretty well. Doesn't smell like fish and chips though...

The medium grade liquid aerosole works a treat.

Tried the Prolan spray. Did not get too muddy after all, but the spray sucked dust and dirt in to it and then was a pain to wash off.

Use hand soap as it dries up and doesnt cause slipping. Oil wont dry so it wont seal proply.

Is vegetable oil really suitable for a chain lube? I thought it would fling off too quickly.

I use chain saw chain bar oil, cheap as, sticks like shit to a blanket, you only need to put a strip of it on and it climbs around the chain when you ride, like all oils it gets washed off in creeks etc but easy as to put more on.

I have a 50ml plastic bottle mount by the forks so quick and easy to do, I found if I have the oil in my pack I couldnt be bothered getting it out.

Check pics below for my set up, NOTE special hand bracket sold separately

I never oil my chain(x or o-ring). Just wd40 post washing to prevent rust.

Used silicone spray but not much better than Prolan. Will give both more chances. But this NeverWet looks interesting. Wonder where I ould get a can to try???
