I use something very similar on my bicycle chains and they work great. I was actually looking for something like this myself. Good find.

Wheel stands, a rag, a can of kerosene, a piece of cardboard box to catch overspray, and a can of DuPont chain spray.

I went with the kero and a brush, the oil lube says to put it on a warm chain, I don't like the sound of going for a ride without lube just to get it warm.
What do you guys do?

More interested in how you get the chain warm, go for a ride, clean then lube? I thought it may cool down while cleaning.
