I do something similar to Yamazer. Although I also use muck off to clean the bike, for the chain I use Holts brake cleaner (kind to o-rings & brake seals, and damn sight cheaper than equivalent marketed as motorcycle specific) to clean off dirt. Then I apply a small amount of acf50 with a rag like he does. Finally I lube it (currently using Sdoc white lube). In winter I lube the side plates of the chain too as it's an effective barrier to rust.
This has always been good enough for me, I also ride in all weathers 365 as it is my sole method of personal transport. Scottoilers have never appealed to me, but each to their own.
