New Chain xtr shimano wax

Does a new chain need cleaning?

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

I'm about to change my chain for the first time... I've seen it done a few times now, & taken out a broken link once myself. Not hard.

But, does my new XTR chain come pre-lubed? Or do I have to degrease it and re-lube it? What is that stuff it's coated in in the packet...
