Anyone use oleophobic coatings?

You know, things like spray wax to see if the bar oil drenched tree shavings somehow magically bounce off the saw?

The MS200T saws especially come with this brown shmutz looks like river sediment and typically has jammed the brake inoperable and takes forever (and a pick) to clean.

so there’s all these new generations of spray, waxes and ceramic spray coatings. I’m not talking about stuff you need to send in and use a vacuum chamber to deposit things on. I’m talking about things you can apply with a sprayer or rub on like paste wax. Turtle wax and meguiars kind of things. Did it work for you? Did you have to apply it way too often was it completely worthless?

Although if you know of an absolutely kick ass coating that requires vacuum deposition and can be applied to Plastics (low temp) and isn’t expensive maybe that’s worth exploring too.

Don’t know if it applies, but Amsoil makes a product called Mudslinger that’s made to keep mud from sticking to dirt bikes. I’ve heard it works on saws

Only thing I've ever used was good ol' WD40 on the bar and front of saw prior to sawing pine to keep the pitch from sticking.

Neverwet might be good for this application but i've never used it. Not a wax it's a 2 part spray on but seems to keep everything from sticking I just don't know for how long.

The cerakote that is sold at Walmart in the auto detailing section is awesome. It's on my tractor, all implements, mowers ,trimmers etc and does very well at keeping stuff from sticking to them. We did the undersides of the mower decks to keep grass from sticking and it helped. Its only been about two months, so far so good.

I use Johnson's paste wax on all of my outdoor tools. Unfortunately it is going away now so I'll have to find an alternative.

I've never tried it on a chainsaw, but I've been using Plexus for many year on motorcycle visors. I quickly realized once coated less crap tends to stick to the visor in the first place. So I started using it on the bike plastics to help keep rubber from sticking (drag racing). I have no idea how it would hold up on a chainsaw, but it's worth a shot.

I have used Silicone spray on saws before pine work and it helps!
