Lasts a long time and you can probably Triflow over it if ever needed. It's very difficult to remove any built up later on..which is a good sign.

On the Zero Friction website testing, the Boeshield ended up in the middle of the pack even in the wet, the immersive waxes did better.

In real wet weather, you are likely better off using a real good oil type lubricant, but your drivetrain will suffer and have a much shorter life due to all the grit it attracts.

I didn’t ride much in hard rain, so a wipe down with a microfiber cloth after the ride was all I needed to do.
