Holy moly! I've kept my KMC chain scrupulously clean and mickled (Finish Line Dry Teflon) from new and only got 600 miles out of it! And I'm a spinner not a grinder.

What chain and lube are you using?

i use 8 speed chains and i like sram pc-68, nice, shiny and durable. i've bought them in bulk few years ago. currently sram makes pc-890 as a replacement, but not as good in my opinion.
i've used many different oils and waxes over the time, but found that simple light oil (for dry conditions) works best. finish line dry teflon works ok, but i needed to apply it every 100 miles (= every few hours of riding) to keep the chain quiet, so i couldn't be bothered in the end.

Progold is my current favorite, picks up a lot less crap than FinishLine wet that I used to use.
