This is all a bad idea,you are removing any lube and it cant be good. Kerosene is like 2.50 a gal if even that. And keeping the chain pristine isnt important either, I have 18,000 miles on my original.

I think that the main thing here is that goop doesn't break down the rubber o-rings. In my understanding one of the main reasons for chain failure is solvents breaking down the rubber in the o-rings and allowing the lube to escape.
kerosene is much cheaper than goop. the only thing goop does is make the chain look brighter, but the chain doesn't care if it looks shiny, it only matters that it's not clogged with crud.
Well, seeing as this ancient thread came back (I didn't even own a bike when the last post was made!) we might as well find out: How are the Goop chains doing?
