No, not really. With the mileage I do (200miles/week ish), I just used engine oil on the chain once per week before fitting an oiler, seemed to last in all Weathers.
An oiler is obviously a hell of a lot better though, keeps it nice and moist 8)
I tried the chain waxes, and spray on oils, but they just caused the front sprocket cover to clag up with gritty grease a lot quicker, and the shite that collects in there is like grinding paste to a chain. It was also horrific stuff to remove ;D
