Default Chain / Sprocket Cleaning

Do you use kero to clean or another product?

I'm no expert, but my personal endeavours of removing a drive chain of a
bike has left it useless for re-use.
I know that some new chains (non-Shimano) can had a real tight
connecting link, which requires a lot of work to free-up after the
reinstall.
(Shimano chains have a funky link pin that's tapers slightly so when
installed it does seem to force the link plates together & bind).
There is the other type of circlip like connecting link which is a
no-tools, no-brainer operation, SRAM?

Looking at the photos I would dismantle the rear derailleur for a
clean-up & grease, & then spray the chain with WD-40 & turn it through
a rag a few times.
