I have been using this for the last four hundred miles. You pretty much have to wipe and wax every other day or you lose the smoothness of your shifting. In the past other Lube's that I have used that were not the dry wax type, would last at least a week. I should also mention I use this on a road bike with electronic shifting. I do feel that electronic shifters need a nice slippery oil not a dry sludgy wax to shift smoothly. Hope this helps
