Squirt VS Oil ?

Didnt wanna hijack Tim's thread but it made me think about that question I had pre IMMT to which I didnt follow up.

What are the difference between using regular chain oil and Squirt ? 

From what I've read, once using Squirt the chain doesnt get dusted etc.. but is there a difference on the performance ? I already clean my chain after every ride and after each 4 trainers session.

I also know that if I choose to go with squirt I will need to do a major clean up before applying.

But again my question is more on the performance side, if changes anything ?

    Squirt is waxed based. Best used in dry conditions. Yes full initial drivetrain cleaning is needed to remove grit, grime, and all old solvent oil based lubes, when changing to a wax base...   If using a waxed drivetrain it is ok to hit it with squirt.

    @tim cronk So if you have a super race chain created from unicorn horns and fairy dust...that would get some Squirt pre race?

    @Patrick McCrann Yes as far as I know all the unicorn chains that come pretreated with fairy dust "wax" say to maintain them with Squirt!
