Earlier today I wanted to pick up some chain lube since my chain has been sounding a bit dry lately. Unfortunately, there was only one LBS open on a Sunday, so I wound up visiting them for the first time. The staff was incredibly friendly, but from the general atmosphere of the store it was rather apparent they weren't the kind of place I would trust with my bike. The only thing they had in the store as far as lube goes were areosal cans of GT85. Now I'm really not familar with this brand, and the label makes it look like much more of an All-in-one oil or WD-40. I've read mixed reviews online about using this as a chain lube or a general all-around bike lube, so I was hoping to find some more knowledgable information here from you guys 
I'd really like to know if this GT85 is a good solution for chain and general bike lube, or if I should look into something else. The directions also state that for best coverage of the PFTE additive that it shouldn't be wiped down after applying. Should I stick with this recommedation, or should I still wipe down the chain/lube points after letting it sit for a couple minutes? This is for a mountain bike, and most of my riding is done in northern IL/Southern Wisconsin. The trails are mostly dry and dusty singletrack and occasionally crushed limestone. I may also occasionally encounter muddy or wet trails, but this will not be the norm. So does GT85 sound like a good candidate for this application, or should I look elsewhere and keep the GT85 to sqeaky door duty? I'm very open to suggestions on good lubes to use, so feel free to let me know your thoughts.
Thank you all in advance!
