Default Chain cleaning...

What do you guys use.? I want to keep it clean after every event. I will also bleed the brakes as well. I'm sure it will get semi expensive, but I want to keep the bike this way.

I use a rag with kerosene. A bit on the excessive side doing it every track event. Make sure you lube it after the kerosene is dry. If you forget lube you could get significant surface rust depending on where/how you store it.
